Earth Angel, will you be mine… How about a speech synthesis DJ, “that was Foo McBar from 19XX”?

  Since I've been playing around with Piper Text-to-Speech & the associated LibriTTS voice model, I couldn't resist: * https://rancidbacon.gitlab.io/piper-tts-demos/#various_radio_0 https://rancidbacon.gitlab.io/piper-tts-demos/#various_radio... If the six speakers I selected for the demo don't match your taste in DJs, there's around 900 more in that voice model to try... :D (The 3 audio players differ only in file format & whether I ran the output through normalization.) Also, I was pretty impressed/surprised at the quality of their pronunciation of the meta-syntactic variables. :)

    Ha, that’s awesome. Several of the voices sounded just right for radio. I see the lib is limited to 24khz, maybe why it has an almost AM radio sound?

    They all sound out of breath. Not sure what causes that effect/perception. Listening to it again, it seems like the plosives (like d, or t) have no pop like there was no air pressure behind them.
