Talk Like a Human: A Beginner's Quest to Sound Natural
I’m Andy, Descript’s Head of Content — and a total radio novice. I’m chronicling my journey to get better at podcasting. In this episode, I share how I’ve transformed my on-mic voice from a weird android robot into a living breathing human being, with some sage advice from the professionals for learning how to sound natural on the microphone.Many of the things that helped me along the way are from radio veteran Marianne McCune who you might know from NPR’s Rough Translation. So, thank you, Marianne.
Thoughts on cloning voices of the deceased
Descript’s Overdub technology allows anyone to create a text to speech version of their own voice by providing about ten minutes of recorded audio. We don’t allow people to clone voices other than their own, both via our terms of use, and the voice identification protocol we have built into our training data collection process.
