Murf.ai has also been around for a few years.
I own a creator platform (with 500k or so Voice Actors) and have been very interested in AI Voices so I've been watching this develop for a bit.
IMO, Murf's marketing page has better results than their product.
I think the VAs on my platform are in trouble, but they still have a little ways to go.

- consta 4y agoDo you mind sharing a link to your creator platform too?
- buf 4y agohttps://www.castingcall.club/ https://www.castingcall.club/ I'm an indie entrepreneur, so it's just me on this project, but it's been great fun.
- EZ-Cheeze 4y agoI'd work on that as a intern for free You can try some really really really interesting things with half a million users
- nmfisher 4y agoJust curious - have the worlds collided yet, with people asking voice actors to record data for training TTS models with their voice?
- buf 4y agoCurrently, projects asking for TTS model training are banned on the platform, but only because there was outrage amongst the users.
- fxtentacle 4y agoMy company has hired some people for TTS voice training on Upwork. About 90% of the voice actors resented the implications that someone else could make their voice say stuff that they disagree with. But some of them also found the idea of becoming digitally immortal very attractive. The same way some people like to put up a marble statue of their heroic deeds, others like to record themselves for the internet. In my opinion, both types of people want to avoid being forgotten and surely if you become a famous TTS voice, you'll have a Wikipedia entry...
- wilg 4y agoCool platform! Thinking about using it for a game project I'm working on – at least for temp V/O. I was noticing that the player for voice acting doesn't play reliably on the search page – you have to go to the profile first. Might be a quick fix.
- buf 4y agothanks for the bug report! Is there an error on the page or just it just not play anything? Trying to reproduce. Edit: figured it out. Will fix!
- causality0 4y agoAIs are never going to get the tone and emotional context right. TTS from Google and Samsung running locally on a phone is already listenable so I don't think minorly better AI is going to eat the audiobook market if it hasn't already.
- stavros 4y agoYes, just like they'll never be able to write poetry, or paint.
- rebuilder 4y agoThey still don’t do either very well. It’s more obvious with poetry and prose, but AI art is pretty vacuous as well once you get past the wow-effect.
- stavros 4y ago"Your dog can sing?!" "It's not as impressive as it sounds, he's pitchy".
- rebuilder 4y agoYea, that’s a pretty good analogy. A singing dog is impressive but not able to replace human singers. From what I’ve seen so far, AI tools create technically impressive but generic and derivative works, and on their own, can’t do what a human artist does in terms of understanding the context of what they are requested to do. It’s possible that doesn’t matter to most people, and the art world will have to realise that mass-produced schlock is all the public really wants. We’ll see.
- stavros 4y agoThere's also the possibility they'll get better, possibly much better than humans. Given how much they've improved recently, that's a very very big possibility.
