Your gilbert gottfried is better than mine - in that it's more obviously gilbert, however, when he's doing interviews and not "in character" the one i have sounds closer to his actual voice.[0][1]

I use(d) "Real time voice cloning" available on github. I have used your site before, i think that's actually the reason i wanted to find software to do it myself originally!

I ended up using mine to do the announcements on all of the ham repeaters in Central Louisiana. I'm not sure how many are still active, but i had a couple of podcasters and two presidents doing the announcements for a while.[2]

Nice work, wrapping it all in a website/service. I'll bookmark it!

Good results! Where did you get the voice samples?

I love your use case for ham radio. That's brilliant!

I just cut up youtube videos' audio to only have the voice i wanted to use.

And thanks. I'm glad there's other people messing around with voice cloning, still.
