Clone Any Singer's Voice with AI: Ultimate Voice Cloning Tutorial

Introduction

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the process of cloning a singer's voice using AI. This tutorial is divided into three main parts: creating the dataset, training the model, and finally, using the model to generate new songs.

Part One: Creating the Dataset

1. Open Your Web Browser & Sign in with Gmail

   • Open your web browser and ensure you are logged into your Gmail account.

2. Access Google Colab Dataset Maker

   • Follow the link provided in the video description to open the Google Colab dataset maker project.

3. Run Step One

   • Click "Run Anyway" to initiate the first step. This will install the necessary packages for preparing the dataset. This step takes approximately two minutes to complete. A small check mark will appear next to the step once it's done.

4. Upload Singer’s Songs (Step Two)

   • In this step, you will upload song files of the singer whose voice you want to clone. It is recommended to use at least three songs. Click "Run Step Two" and then click on the "Choose Files" button to upload the song files.

5. Create Dataset File (Step Three)

   • This step will process the uploaded songs to create a dataset file. It will remove music, retain the singer's voice, remove any silence, and merge all files into a single dataset file. Run Step Three and wait for the check mark to appear.

6. Download Dataset File (Step Four)

   • Run Step Four to download the dataset file. A window will appear, allowing you to save the file to your device. After that, disconnect from Google Colab by selecting "Runtime" > "Disconnect and delete runtime."

Part Two: Training the Model

1. Open Google Colab for VC Model Training

   • Follow the link provided for the VC model training project.

2. Run Main Step

   • Click "Run Anyway" to start the main step. This installs the basic requirements for training the model, which takes about five minutes.

3. Upload Dataset File (Step One)

   • Run Step One and click the "Choose Files" button to upload the dataset file you prepared in Part One.

4. Specify Model Name (Step Two)

   • Provide a name for the model in English without spaces or symbols. Leave the selection as "rore GPU." Run Step Two to proceed.

5. Train the Model (Step Three)

   • Enter the model name you specified earlier and the number of epochs for training (preferably between 200 and 1,000). For the tutorial, 100 epochs will be used. Leave the saving frequency at 20. Run Step Three to start training. Training time varies based on the number of epochs.

6. Save Trained Model (Step Four)

   • Run Step Four and link Google Colab to Google Drive to save the model. Right-click on the model file in Google Drive and copy its link. Paste it back in Google Colab to upload the model files.

Part Three: Using the Model

1. Open Google Colab for Voice Cloning

   • Use the provided link to open the Google Colab project for making the model sing any song.

2. Run Main Step

   • Click "Run Anyway" to install necessary requirements, taking about five minutes.

3. Load the Model

   • Enter the model name and paste the copied model link from Google Drive. Change General access from “restricted” to “anyone with the link,” then run the step.

4. Upload Target Song

   • Run Step One and click the "Choose Files" button to select the song you want the model to sing.

5. Replace Original Singer’s Voice

   • In Step Two, enter the model name. Optionally adjust pitch settings for gender conversion (0 for same gender, -12 for female to male, 12 for male to female). Run the step.

6. Download New Song

   • Run Step Three to save the new song to your device.

Note: If you wish to process another song or change the model, you only need to load the necessary steps and not the main step each time. Disconnect from Google Colab after completion.

FAQ

1. What software is required for this process?

   • You will need Google Colab and a Google Drive account. All other software installations are handled within the Colab environment.

2. How many songs do I need to create a dataset?

   • It is recommended to use at least three songs for optimal results.

3. How long does the training process take?

   • Training time varies based on the number of epochs but can range from a few minutes to several hours.

4. Can I clone any type of voice?

   • Yes, you can clone any singer's voice as long as you have their song files.

5. Is it possible to adjust the pitch of the cloned voice?

   • Yes, you can adjust the pitch to convert a male voice to female and vice versa by changing the pitch value during Step Two of using the model.

This guide aims to provide a step-by-step approach to cloning any singer's voice using AI, making it accessible and comprehensible for beginners and tech enthusiasts alike.
