A while back I asked if we could create a voice for SV. I have 20 songs of a singer that has died and I wanted to bring him back to life. Well, Using SV Kevin and then Retrieval Based Voice Conversion I did it! I have to admit, it’s a little creepy. There was another singer we recorded for this song but he had way too much vibrato so SV Kevin took over the job. Thanks SV!
Crappy song but this is the result and it sounds exactly like the real singer except it’s Kevin’s vibrato.
It takes quite a bit of time to train a voice, especially with 20 songs. I’m not sure what the smallest amount of vocal sample to train it is. That mp3 only ran 110 out of a possible 1,000 training epocs. More epocs improve quality. It takes about 1 hour for 50.
This guy does an excellent tutorial. WARNING: It isn’t easy.
