Subtitle: Speaking like Kate Winslet
Samples
Intro
What if you could imitate a famous celebrity's voice or sing like a famous singer? This project started with a goal to convert someone's voice to a specific target voice. So called, it's voice style transfer. We worked on this project that aims to convert someone's voice to a famous English actress Kate Winslet's voice. We implemented a deep neural networks to achieve that and more than 2 hours of audio book sentences read by Kate Winslet are used as a dataset.
Model Architecture
This is a many-to-one voice conversion system. The main significance of this work is that we could generate a target speaker's utterances without parallel data like , or , but only waveforms of the target speaker. (To make these parallel datasets needs a lot of eff
