This is probably going to be great, but I just tested out voice generation with the bare minimum of 30 recordings, and it really fell flat. When I tried playback with an input, all it could produce was a high-pitched buzzing sound and then maybe 1/4 of the words I typed in, which sounded nothing like me.

Perhaps you should increase the minimum from 30 recordings to 100?

Hi! Thanks for testing it! For many voices it works well with only 30 recordings. For some, you need a bit more. It seems that quality of the audio (no background noise, clear and loud voice, lots of intonation) is what matters the most.
