The modding community needs to know about making TTS voices.

Recently, I've discovered Uberduck.ai which is a website that has fan-made Text-To-Speech voices and it has a community dedicated to making TTS voices. This got me into making TTS voices based off announcers from C&C, such as the Red Alert Announcer, CABAL, and EVA from Tiberian Dawn (though, those didn't come out well because they either have less voicelines or they are heavily edited and you can only improve them a bit by using audio editing software. You might get better results with clearer voices such as the Generals announcers.)
Now I've decided that I don't want to be the only one making TTS C&C voices and the community should do this more!

If you wanna get to making TTS voices, you can go to Uberduck.ai's website and its Discord server.

There are also tutorials about making TTS voices!

Amazing work! I tried to clone Cabal voice with SV2TTS (Real-Time-Voice-Cloning), but the result was shit. With some more training material and voice editing (EQ etc.) these would work just fine

i also tossed around with this exact idea but never got around to implementing it since i dont have any dedicated mod project; i hope
people start to get the ambition to implement this in their mods; no one wants to hear that default EVA, and whats more, no one wants
to read those dumb ass text strings in campaign maps. you all know exactly what im talking about.

Personally, I prefer reading; might be best to keep both in, similar to subtitles in other games.

Wow would Yuri's voice be replicated in near future?

Would it be possible to share the wavs and transcripts you used?

Sure. Sorry for the very late reply, I usually don't check PPM forums.

So this was the technology is called! Amazing, imagine how we can make other EVA voices. Cleaning the clips, removing noise, de-esser's and more may take time but worth it.

Sweet! Do you happen to have the RA model now by any chance? Asking for a friend

That's a fascinating discovery! Uberduck.ai and the community-driven initiative for fan-made Text-To-Speech voices, especially inspired by C&C announcers, sound like an exciting venture. Collaborating on TTS voices for clearer characters like the Generals announcers could yield even better results. Have you considered exploring AI text to speech tools to enhance and diversify your creative efforts within the community?
