The TTS model is trained on two things: speech samples and their transcript. If you add enough sniffle-symbols every time a sniffle appears in the speech, I am confident the model would pick up on that. And then you would be able to replicate a sniffle in the generation part. The more time-consuming bit would be to add in the training data for the language model those sniffle-symbols, so that they would be organically added in the text in the text-generation phase.
But seriously, it's not worth it. I think he's a brilliant man with an idiosyncratic speech, let's leave it to that.
- steve_adams_86 4y agoI agree, I personally don't hear his sniffles when I'm listening to him intently. It's irrelevant. I was mostly curious if and how, generally speaking, a model could be trained to sniffle. Now that you describe it though it seems fairly clear, so thanks!
