Getting Started with AI Voice Changers

What is an AI Voice Changer?

An AI Voice Changer is a software tool that uses artificial intelligence to modify the characteristics of your voice in real-time or near real-time. It can change the pitch, tone, and timbre to mimic another person or create an entirely new vocal identity. These tools leverage advanced machine learning techniques like Voice Cloning and deep learning to analyze and manipulate audio signals. With the rise of online voice changer apps, their popularity is soaring.

AI voice changers are incredibly versatile. Gamers use them for anonymity or to role-play characters, content creators use them for voice-overs and narrations, and musicians experiment with unique vocal effects. As technology continues to evolve, the potential applications are endless.

Popular AI Voice Changer: W-Okada's Voice Changer

W-Okada's Voice Changer is a powerful tool that lets you transform your voice using AI. It's compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. Let's walk through how to get started with this software.

Downloading W-Okada's Voice Changer

1. Access the Download Link: Head over to W-Okada’s GitHub page and scroll down to find the download link. You'll find it in the description below, just click on it—it's the top link.
2. Choose the Correct Version: Scroll to the chart at the bottom. If you have a dedicated graphics card, go for the Windows CUDA version. There's also a Mac version available.
3. Dealing with Download Issues: This software is popular, so you might need to download it from Hugging Face or Google Drive. It's just a zip file, so don't worry.

Once you've downloaded the file, extract it to a dedicated folder on your computer. Keeping things organized makes the process smoother.

Downloading the Software: It's a big file, and since I already have it installed, I'll cancel my download. But you'll want to let it finish—it's safe, I promise.

Downloading and Configuring Voice Models

The real fun begins with the variety of voice models you can use. Here's how to get them set up:

1. Creating the Required Folders: While the zip file is downloading, create a new folder to house all your AI voice changer files. Once the download is complete, move the zip file into this folder and create another folder named "models."
2. Where to Get These Voice Models: You'll need voice models for this to work. We'll show you how to download them once the program is up and running. The tutorial recommends using a Discord Server for this.
3. What to Do After Making All the Folders: After placing the zip file in your new folder, extract it. You'll see a bunch of files inside.
4. Start the Program: The main file you need to focus on is at the bottom, named "start_http.bat." Just double-click it to start the program, and you won't need to go back into that folder unless you're troubleshooting.
5. Start Command Prompts: When you double-click "start_http.bat," it will open a command prompt. Let it load; it might be slow at first.
6. Open App Window: Depending on your Python setup, it might take a while to install everything. If Windows tries to block it, click "More info" and then "Run anyway." You'll also need to allow access through your firewall when prompted.
7. What to Do if the App Does Not Open: If you run into issues, remember that the software uses Pytorch. You might need to look up tutorials on how to install Pytorch. If the app doesn't open, just rerun it to try again.

Configure the Software

Interface Basics:

Once you're in the actual voice changer, here's what you'll see:

• Built-in Voices: The four voices at the top are the preloaded starting options.
• Already Imported Voices: These are three voices I've already installed. I'll guide you through adding a fourth one as we go through the settings.

Models Setting: If the model you have works with the software, great! If not, you might need to tweak the settings a bit.

The Japanese models often sound better in Japanese than in English, but usually, English works best. To properly set up an individual character, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Tuning Guide:

1. Check the Settings: Ensure your input and output are set to your default settings. The input should be your microphone, and the output should be your default headphone or speaker setting.
2. Audio Output: This setting determines how many seconds the audio will be output. We'll cover the rest of the basic settings later. For now, leave everything else the same and see how it sounds.
3. Troubleshooting: You might notice it takes a few seconds to start up. Switching from Harvest to Crepe can improve the sound and make the cut-off less harsh.
4. The Chunky Voice: To avoid choppy or bad-sounding voices, adjust your volume. If the issue persists, use your graphics settings to make the game run smoother.

Remember, if you haven't checked your GPU settings, make sure to select your GPU instead of your CPU for faster performance.
