Instant Voice Cloning

To clone your own voice, you can upload audio files of your voice to the platform. Provide a name for the voice, and upload the audio files (up to 10MB each). It is recommended to upload high-quality samples and limit the total audio to no more than 5 minutes. You can also add labels to describe the voice and confirm that you have the necessary rights to upload and clone the samples.
