Participation Requirements
To fully engage in the training of personalized voice cloning algorithms, participants need access to python and a GPU, such as an Nvidia graphics card or an M1/M2 chip on Mac. Alternatively, the use of the cloud-based computing platform, Paperspace is recommended for its compatibility but requires a subscription fee (approx 8 usd per month). Google Colab is a convenient alternative, but it restricts activities related to deepfakes. For the voice cloning inference, only CPU is sufficient.
Participants are encouraged to bring at least 10 minutes of their own voice recordings if they wish to clone their voices during the workshop.
Intro to Voice Cloning Workshop is presented by iii with financial support from Creative Industries Fund NL and The Municipality of The Hague
