#Typecast.ai

[bizarrepotpourri]

I'm testing various text-to-speech services, and the first and very promising one is Typecast. It's super clunky and I had to go through their voice library (very limited on their free plan) to find one that could do emotions for Agnes, and it's still far from perfect (it's like a bad JRPG dub from early 2000s!), but the fact that it even allows for reading the text with emotional charge is the promising part.

This content was produced with Typecast, an AI virtual actor service. Characters casted:  Jack (The Liege) Olivia (Lady Agnes) https://typecast.ai

And this was generated in the free video editor for Windows 11, ClipChamp. It's terribly basic and the only thing it has in its defense is putting American and British English voices separately. But as you can hear, they're still awkward and mechanical.

Music: "Hopeless" by Jimena Contreras, Youtube Audio Library

Also, there's a slight difference in phrasing between the two recordings - the one made in ClipChamp comes from the published version of "Swift Justice", the one made in Typecast is a new rewrite.

사랑 그 쓸쓸함에 대하여 1

토마스 남

어떤 날들

어떤 풍경 ��에서

어떤 시간에서

나는 그녀를 떠올린다.

세월이 가고

해묵은 아픔은

쓰리다는 희미한 기억만 날 뿐

그다지 진지하지는 않다.

사랑은

그저 욕망처럼

조용히 지나가기만 하면

그만인 것을.

그런 감상은

사람을 사랑한 대가이겠지만

회상의 끝은 늘 한곳으로

되돌아온다.

나무와 풀이

지독하게 아름다울 때가 있었다는 게

믿기지 않는다.

주섬주섬 나는

돋보기처럼 생긴 사랑이라는 특수렌즈를 끼고

세상을 바라보았다.

짙은 구름

높은 담장

거친 바람

하얀 시트

노란 벽지

진한 그녀의 입술

그녀는 기묘하게도 나비를 자신과 동일시하였다.

이 고통받는 육신은 하나의 매개체일 뿐이야.

나는 애벌레거든.

어느 날 나의 영혼은 이 모든 더러움과 고통에서

벗어나 날아오를 거야.

여인과 보낸 하루는 무거웠다.

칙칙하고 소박한 소도시의 골목

바람이 비집고 들어간 곳을 따라간 나는,

뜬금없이 화사한 네온사인에 놀랐다.

추저분한 골목

그녀가 나를 주시한다.

나는 주눅이 든 채 있었다.

길모퉁이에서 사방을 예의주시하며

주춤거리고 있었다.

몸을 곧게 세우고서

뭐라 표현할 수 없는 정적의 순간.

동작을 수식하는 끌림.

그 욕망이 없었다면 나는 껍데기처럼 가벼웠을 게다.

우리는 모든 것을 지각하는 것이 아니야.

우리가 지각할 준비가 되어 있는 것만 지각하지.

여인의 품속에 나를 품 담그고 싶었다.

그래서 나는 내게

질문을 던진다.

이렇게 말이야.

행복해?

아니.

불행해?

아니.

즐거워?

아니.

슬퍼?

아니.

그럼 뭐야?

아무것도 아냐.

그런데 왜 그렇게 무거워?

그러니 사람이지.

사람을 사랑한 사람.

Text to Speech & Reflction

As the cases of Covid increasing, it would quiet hard to be in the studio and record in person, I prefer for professional voice actors to do the job rather then me. So i decided to experiment with online speech programs, to see how it would turn out

Figure One

https://responsivevoice.org/free-text-to-speech-mp3-audio-files/

This website allows you to upload text and then it transfers it automatically to MP3. It allows you to choose nationality and the gender of the voice actor

Figure Two 

Figure three

https://typecast.ai

Figure Four This website allows you to  pick characters and voice and have option to alter those voices 

Figure Five

Once I created an account and logged into the website, i got the above page

Figure Six 

above image illustrate the free characters available on the website.

Figure Seven 

the website automatically add timer also allows you to choose the style of narration.

Figure Eight 

Figure Nine

Once I was done with my set of professional  Voice over recording, I started  to look at text to speech software option available, which I quite like however I don't personally believe it's suitable for podcasting. I did have few people listening to the recording I recorded via AI automated voice, and they do agree with me, the voices do not display emotions.

But I do think there maybe AI programs available in that isable to display emotions, And from the talk, I had with Becky the AI voice actor maybe subject to copyright, therefore not quite suitable. 

Using typecast gave me the oppotunity to try different voices from differnt sexes  as well as alowing me to experiment with a child voice, over all i am happy that i came across this softwear, in future if i want to use any AI Voices i will need to look into and check with the copywrigth laws.
