|
|
|
|
Voices to prepare reference clips for.
|
|
|
|
## Ready
|
|
|
|
| Voice | Character / Show | Notes |
|
|
|-------|-----------------|-------|
|
|
| Rommie | Andromeda — ship AI / android | `/home/devilholk/Documents/rommie-sample.wav` — working well |
|
|
| Wilford Brimley (Harold W. Smith) | Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985) — head of CURE | Turned out well — gravelly authoritative delivery, dry clean speech |
|
|
|
|
## To Do
|
|
|
|
| Voice | Character / Show | Notes |
|
|
|-------|-----------------|-------|
|
|
| Fred Ward | Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins (1985) — Remo Williams himself | Distinctive gravelly voice, same film as Brimley so similar source quality |
|
|
| Alan Scarfe | TNG (Romulan), Andromeda S5 (Flavin) | Deep, authoritative voice — hunt for quiet scenes without ship hum |
|
|
| John Fleck | Enterprise (Silik the Suliban) | Distinctive raspy voice — Suliban scenes may have atmosphere noise |
|
|
| Steve Bacic | Andromeda (Telemachus Rhade) | — |
|
|
| Alex Diakun | Andromeda (Perseid character, name ~"Atune"), Stargate SG-1 (science role) | Prolific Vancouver sci-fi character actor, often plays scientists/scholars — distinctive voice |
|
|
| Unknown actress | Andromeda S4/S5 (Dylan's love interest), Babylon 5 (Mars rebellion leader) | Possibly Marjorie Monaghan (Number One in B5) — unconfirmed |
|
|
| Claudia Christian | Babylon 5 — Commander Ivanova | User already has a voice clip ready |
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Animated/cartoon voices (e.g. Darkwing Duck) don't clone well — too far outside natural human speech distribution
|
|
- Compressed/heavily post-processed audio (spaceship hum, background score) degrades results even after noise reduction
|
|
- OGG vs WAV quality difference is likely source quality, not encoding — soundfile handles both
|
|
- Voice cloning quality scales with both clip length and emotional range — varied prosody (questions, statements, different tones) gives the model more to anchor on than flat monotone
