I have a "large" (~40K 10s lines) corpus of captioned dialogue from a video game that I briefly investigated training a model similar to this to "clone voices" with, but pretty quickly came to the realisation that doing so would be pretty unethetical to all involved.

It became more apparent to me how icky this is as the voice actor of one of the most iconic characters in the game died suddenly 10 days ago...



There’s a repository with a VITS model for English/Chinese/Japanese voice cloning that was pretrained on Genshin Impact voices.

I’m not actually sure whether that’s illegal (in the civil/IP sense), provided you’re not using the original voices to synthesise text.
