      Hi Jenn, thanks for sharing. I immediately heard the difference between your real voice and the A.I. from the first clip. It was a bit too fast the way it read the sentences and maybe if there was a way to control the speed of the voice would make it much more accurate. What do you think? As we know naturally when we speak, speed, pitch and tone make a huge difference how your speech is perceived.

    @jennjager Descript Overdub does a correct American speech pattern with a flat or downward inflection at the end of the sentence indicating it's a statement. The upward inflection is reserved for a question. The reason you hear it differently is because your speech patterns fall into the uptalk/upspeak with the upward inflection at the end of a definitive statement sentence. If you pay attention and by eliminating the uptalk/upspeak and record it again then the Overdub will make a better match. You can search the topic of uptalk/upspeak in UA-cam you'll find many videos explaining why it should be corrected. All the best.

    I can definitely tell when it is you speaking and when it was the program. It sounds like the same person speaking either way, but you speaking sounds enthusiastic and the program sounds stern. It wouldn't matter for a short overdub of a segment, but you wouldn't want to use it for the whole presentation. At least until they add some emotional markup to it.

    This is very cool! I'm a filmmaker. We do a thing called ADR, where we bring the actor in to overdub their voice when there's too much background noise on location, or for some other reason the audio recorded on set doesn't work. This could save a lot of time and $$$. Thanks for sharing!

    A couple of things that I have noticed with several of the Ai text to speech programs is that they speak to fast so trying to get them to slow down can be a bit of a problem, and also trying to convey emotions can be impossible to do. But given time these text to speech programs will only get way much better.

    Your inflection is sweeter and somewhat not too confident (sometimes it sounds like you're asking a question when you are actually making an affirmation) while the AI is more authoritative and assertive. It almost sounds as if you are angry. lol It's the 5% that breaks the magic, but it's almost there. Very fun stuff.

  • @mvuto137
    @mvuto137 2 роки тому +2

    Greetings Jenn... one other thing I'd add is... breathing... There are tools that add extended breathiness of certain words. Perhaps if given the opportunity to adjust via special tags in text, that would help. I noticed in your original verbiage, your "and" words were more emphasized than the AI. However, still a hell of an achievement for sure.

    Jenn - your results are amazing! Your overdub voice does sound a lot like you and inspired me to give it a try myself but my overdub voice was NOWHERE NEAR as realistic sounding as yours! It was laughably robotic. Thoughts? And/or has anyone else gotten similar results to Jenn? I recorded a 15 min sample (professional microphone & recorder in a soundproof booth) and the quality of the overdub sounded highly robotic and unusable. Anyone else have better success?

  • @kathybirkett7986

    Maybe it's because I was an audio engineer, but I could tell right away. That inflection is part of your personality coming through when you talk, and the software doesn't match it at all. However, for short mistake replacements, it would likely be fine. I wouldn't use it for a long project, though.
    Interesting software and testing! Thanks for sharing.

    If you just record a bunch of actual spoken word audio in descript using the in programs recorder or by uploading a file, if you apply your overdub speaker label to the audio, you can then select a few words in a sentence and right click and goto the overdub drop down menu and create a new voice style, then your over dubs using that style should fit in with the audio in that sentence you apply it to better. You also get to keep the style, and if you think your overdubs just sound better with that style just use it instead of the default. I find one of the styles I've made just sounds more natural then the one they sent back to me.

    It occurs to me that people who face a change in their voice, such as those who have throat cancer or famous actors who want to continue doing voiceovers after age changes their voice, would benefit by establishing their voice in this app early in life. If it's acceptable, think of creating podcasts with only a script. There's one possible catch, though; for years, we've been able to type text and have the computer read it back in its own voice, but there are words the computer will not pronounce correctly. Usually, there's a technique to add marks and commands to force the correct pronunciation of difficult words and my question here is to ask if there's a way to change the pronunciation of a word. Thanks, Jenn. A great review as always. I want it!

I would like to use a different voice (Not sure exactly how to get a different voice...) And then I would write some text, and the software would transcribe that text into the voice I had chosen. Am I correctly understanding what this software does?

      @@JennJager Excited! I think this is what I've been wanting for a couple years now. Maybe I'll just steal your voice. 😀
