Why do you keep the original audio track on the dubbed version? I think it sounds pretty distracting, although you do want to keep sounds other than the original voice I guess

I dig it, it's like amateur underground over dubs of bootleg hollywood movies. Don't want to conflate amateur AI voice with actual personality on screen. The seperation is part of the experience.

I think these little bits of the original sound really works well, helping us hear the original as well and keeping it less uncanny.

What an amazing project!

Thank you.

Exactly. I had the OG voice removed at first. But I added it back in for exactly this reason. It also serves as a tool for AI accountability: It lets you "see" that the cloned voice is indeed saying the same thing as the original voice.

That being said, it would be trivial to turn the OG voice off for anyone who wants to.

News channels do that for interviews
