AI Voice Cloning Tutorial: How To Clone Your Own Voice

Today, I'm going to show you how to make an AI voice clone of your own voice. Of course, it's important to note that CNET does not endorse the use of AI voice cloning for unauthorized impersonation or spreading misinformation. There are various AI voice cloning tools available, and for this tutorial, I'll be using 11 Labs to walk you through the process.

To start, you need to create an account on 11 Labs and sign in. They offer a limited free account for hobbyists and paid tiers for creators and enterprises. Once you're logged in, head to the voice lab and choose to add a generative AI voice or clone. You have the option to create a generic AI voice or clone your own voice.

For instant voice cloning of your own voice, you need to upload a clean recording of your voice, add labels to help the AI interpret your speaking style, write a prompt description, and confirm your rights to use the voice. The AI will then generate a voice clone based on your input. You can adjust settings such as stability, clarity, and voice model to customize the output.

After generating your AI voice clone, you can use it for speech synthesis by pasting text into the text window. 11 Labs allows you to create multiple custom voices and provides pre-made voices in their library. Remember to ensure correct grammar for accurate reading by the AI.

Some potential use cases for AI voice cloning include speeding up voiceover recording and editing processes, preserving iconic voices like Darth Vader for future use, and identifying impersonations through tell-tale signs like unnatural pauses or pronunciation inconsistencies.
