LALAL.AI is an advanced online platform that allows users to create lifelike, digital replicas of their own or others’ voices using artificial intelligence. The cloned voice can be used for a variety of creative or practical purposes such as producing podcasts, audiobooks, video voiceovers, personalized messages, and even song covers.
The following was created in collaboration with partner LALAL.AI.
The process of creating a voice clone on LALAL.AI is pretty straightforward, but the quality of the final voice clone is heavily dependent on the quality of the audio samples provided. Before we get into how LALAL.AI works, let’s dig into some tips for getting the perfect sample to begin the process.
Tips for Getting the Best Vocal Sample
Clean Audio Is Essential — Background noise, music, or interruptions will degrade the quality of the produced vocal clone. LALAL.AI has a voice cleaner and echo & reverb remover tool—but editing the vocal fine in a digital audio workstation (DAW) like Audacity or Reaper can achieve the best results.
Speak Naturally — Record your voice as your normally speak, without a forced accent or intonation unless you want the voice clone to have that intonation.
Variety — Include different speech patterns and content types to help the AI capture the full range of your vocal characteristics. Have some voice lines that are spoken naturally, some with an excited tone, some with a sad or somber tone—think about the emotions you want to convey and provide those.
Record Across Multiple Sessions — Recording vocal lines at different times of day can capture subtle changes in your voice due to mood or energy.
Optimal Length — Aim to capture at least 10 minutes of spoken word audio, but longer samples of up to 50 minutes can yield a better vocal clone.
Format — The interface can accept audio files saved in MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, AVI, MP4, MKV, AIFF, or AAC formats.
Recording in a quiet environment is paramount to success in creating a vocal clone. Professional microphones are ideal for capturing the nuance of your voice, but good results can be achieved with bui
