Great product, giving it a try. Here you saying that 20 seconds is enough, and on a "clone" page there is an instruction about 30 minutes for better result. Is there any kind of instruction about how to create a good sample of the voice? For example, should I speak English, or any language will do? Do you have some stats on corellation between sample length and generation quality? Thank you!

Thanks. What we've shared here is a demo tool to show our new speech model that can clone a voice with few seconds of audio. You can try that with English or non-English recordings, but the generated voice can only speak English at the moment. If you are looking for high-fidelity cloning, you can sign up and try it in our app here - https://play.ht/voice-cloning/

High-fidelity cloning requires at least 20 mins of good quality audio. The more the better.
