Alternative to TTS, tools I could use to alterate voice recordings?
Hello everyone,
So I have no idea on where I could ask my question I'm not sure it does fit in here.
So I'd struggle to explain it clearly but I make some soundscapes since a long time, I used to write a lot and create audio files with TTS and then create a soundscape with it.
But the thing was that I enjoyed a lot how they used to sound unreal and robotic, it was a bit the point. Now that it is largely spread and used, the A.I voices are super realistic and the idea of it doesn't make me feel good.
I am a bit lost on what to do now, because I was telling myself I should simply accept to record my voice, but it's not what I ever wanted to do. Having another voice, not human was really a part of my artistic process I'm sorry it's hard to explain specifically because English is not my first language.
I wonder if I should spend time on creating a fake voice with preexisting tools, or if I should look into what I can do with my own voice. I know there are tons of possibilities to change it, but changing the pitch/adding effects and things like that feels like it'll just sound weird.
I did use my voice on video projects, and I always had positive feedbacks on how it can sound good and different from my natural voice so I guess I can try to record myself seriously and see what I could do with it. I'm wondering if I should also think about the process of recording itself and if I could obtain something I'd like.
Anyways, I'm trying to ask if people know any tools, or have any ideas, maybe ideas on how I could work on my own voice deeply?
(I use Ableton, a lot of different plugins and audacity)
Thank you!!
