How to Clone your Voice for FREE (Eleven Labs Alternative)

Education

Introduction

If you've ever used Eleven Labs before, you know that it's a paid tool. They do give you 10,000 characters for free; however, once you hit that limit, you're going to have to pay for the tool. So, what if I told you there's a free voice cloner available? I've found one on Hugging Face, and I'm here to share it with you.

I'll leave the link in the description for you guys, and we're going to explore how good it is. Can it replace Eleven Labs? I really hope so. Let's dive in and see.

Getting Started with the Free Voice Cloner

  1. Visit Hugging Face: First, head over to Hugging Face. The link will be provided in the description.
  2. Choose Your Option: You'll see two options – upload your own audio or record your audio directly.
  3. Record Your Audio: For demonstration, I'll record something right now. Click the record button, follow the prompts to allow microphone access, and hit record.

Here's what I recorded: "Hello, okay we're working. Alright. Okay guys, welcome back to Web Studios. We are finding more free tools. Hopefully, this voice clone is really good. We'll see how accurate it is, how close it is to my voice, and let's see if we can replace Eleven Labs with this tool. I really hope so because I'm not trying to pay for any AI tools. I'm trying to do it all for free."

Testing the Voice Cloner

  1. Generate Text-to-Speech: Next, type in the text you want the clone to say. For example: "In an ancient world where the Anunnaki ruled the lands, we know that we were not even thought about at the time because our ancestors had to first descend to Earth from the planet Nibiru."

  2. Generate Speech: After submitting, the generated audio will be available. Here’s our generated speech: "In an ancient world where the Anunnaki ruled the lands, we know that we were not even thought about at the time because our ancestors had to First descend to Earth from the planet Nibiru."

Comparison with Eleven Labs

  1. Download Eleven Labs Audio: To make a fair comparison, I downloaded a voice sample from Eleven Labs. The sample says: "The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning."

  2. Upload and Clone: I uploaded this audio into the Hugging Face voice cloner to see how well it can replicate it.

The results were mixed. The cloned voice had human-like emotions and inflections but also had a noticeable robotic flange. Although it wasn't an exact clone, it had some human characteristics and sounded pretty good for a free tool.

Conclusion

For a free option, this voice cloner is impressive. If you like the generated audio, you can easily download it and add it to your videos. Link to the tool will be in the description below. Enjoy your new free voice cloning capabilities!
