PROJECTS:

Cloning my Wife's Voice Using AI

I had a lot of fun with this video, and it took me longer than I care to admit in order to fully produce a clone of my Wife's voice that I was happy with. I guess the reason behind doing it was that I didnt want to pay a 3rd party service like 11Labs just to clone a voice; when I know I can do it for free using my own hardware. Anyway, visit my Github to download the relevant files if you want to follow along with the video
