Voice cloning reproduces a person's voice from a recording lasting a few seconds to a few minutes. The resulting voice can then read any text with the original timbre and intonation. The technology raises consent and security questions, since it also makes audio deepfakes possible.
In practice at Gensai
Gensai used voice cloning for the “Monsters of the Oceans” installation, where the sea answers visitors in a deep, mysterious voice.
