Interesting, what's the purpose? Maybe, host a podcast without revealing your real voice?

I tried a few, I think the British American was maybe the best one. I didn't really notice a huge difference on Italian or Indian accent.

British - American https://pastewaves.com/player/25cacf64-461a-4eef-9b02-9bc0da...

A little shaky, but no doubt hints of a British Accent.

Cool. Thank you for testing it. It can have multiple purposes. For people that want to do video presentations for instance and have a more native accent. Or yes, for a podcast. What do you think I should improve?

Training someone to change the perceived gender of their own voice is a similar process to training them to speak with a new accent. I recently prototyped a gender-affirming voice therapy app for transgender women: https://own-voice-dev.netlify.app/

So now I’m curious if our two applications use the same approach under the hood! I have a detailed tech stack rundown on this page: https://own-voice-dev.netlify.app/#/info but in brief I use OpenVoice v2 to convert someone’s voice toward a differently-gendered reference voice, but leave it at only like 30%-60% transformed so it still sounds like them and not the reference. This transformed voice then becomes a practice reference for drilling.
