Neat stuff!

What would it take to get Morgan Freeman's voice onto it?

Thanks!

I made one attempt at Morgan Freeman but I didn't have enough sample data. He narrated a few audio books, but they've either got background music that ruins the training or he collaborated with other speakers.

What data I gathered I obtained from interviews on YouTube. Unfortunately they're all so short that it's a lot of work to extract meaningful training data.

I really want his voice. I'll definitely get back to it.

If you need training data and don't mind it being from grey-area sources, I can help with supplying the audio tracks from some of his narration or acting work. Email's in my profile.

You really just need to get it to say "Morgan Freeman" over and over again.
