How does it compare with the training data you submitted to create your overdub voice? Sometimes, the voice sounds different because of the recording conditions, room tone, etc. and overdub voice copies these environmental factors as well.

We just launched a bunch of built-in stock voices as well: this is how they sound: https://twitter.com/andrewmason/status/1303384858249494529?s...

All these voices have been created via our voice cloning pipeline. Something to note: the generated audio is 44.1kHz and super crisp, ready to be useful for voice-overs or editorial corrections. Let me know if you have any questions about the tech. (I am one of the lyrebird founders.)
