Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a free and unlimited AI voice/TTS solution, preferably something I can run locally on my PC.

I need it for short crime/psychological documentary-style stories. The most important thing isn't just having a deep male voice — I want the voice to actually feel the story: tension, fear, hesitation, guilt, exhaustion, suspense, etc.

Basically, something that can sound like a person quietly telling you a disturbing story late at night, rather than a typical robotic documentary narrator.

Ideally:

Free and unlimited

Can run locally/offline

Deep male voices

Good emotional expression

Natural pauses, whispers and changes in intensity

Suitable for longer narration

Voice cloning would be a bonus, but isn't necessary

Does anyone know a good open-source/local model for this? I'm also open to ComfyUI workflows or other solutions.

Thanks!

I installed H3 MiniMax, and I finally found something worthy of replacing Sora. Actually, not just replacing it—it surpasses it in every way. I'm absolutely blown away. Highly recommended!

I have a Facebook page based on videos of pandas playing in a zoo, created with Sora 2. Ever since Sora 2 went downhill, I've tried Veo and LTX, but neither of those models comes anywhere close to Sora 2 in terms of realism. Does anyone have any suggestions for a model that's close to Sora? Also, what about MiniMax H3? Does anyone have any experience with it?

I used Sora 2 to create funny, realistic zoo animal videos, and that's how I grew my TikTok and YouTube channels. When Sora 2 was shut down, I switched to Bing AI and continued making the same type of videos. Unfortunately, Bing AI was shut down today as well. Which AI video generator is the closest to Sora 2 for creating realistic panda videos? Do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
