I'm curious, how did you generate the David Attenborough voice? The repo says:

> Bark tries to match the tone, pitch, emotion and prosody of a given preset, but does not currently support custom voice cloning.

Check back later in the week, I'll have a bit more on that later after I catch up on actual work and can write a bit.

Not used at all, at least in my case.

I understand you didn't use that repo but did you do something other than change the audio prompt ?

Yeah, it's kind of hand crafted.

Replying to myself in an old thread as a little easter egg. Bark is just so fun I can't resist a teaser.

Suno is seriously underselling the power of the fully operational Bark model. I'm already cranking out "French Obamas" and I didn't know anything about TTS a month ago. Heck, I still barely know anything. (Obama has been annoyingly resistant to gender flipping though.)
