I have always been complimented that my voice matches all actors like Shahid Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan.
The voice I use is a very old hardware speech synthesizer made in 1986. I keep it because I have not heard a voice I like better and because I have identified with it.
The word deepfake has become a generic noun for the use of machine-learning algorithms and facial-mapping technology to digitally manipulate people's voices, bodies and faces. And the technology is increasingly so realistic that the deepfakes are almost impossible to detect.
I am in touch with a company that hopes to replicate my voice. However, they are not replicating my original voice - if they did that, I would sound like a man in his 20s, which would be very strange! They are actually trying to replicate the synthesizer that sits on my wheelchair.
People say that the Beavis voice doesn't sound like me or some other voices. Butt-Head I think sounds like me.
I can hear someone's voice once, and I can pretty much mimic them. Not to make fun, but I can do an impression of them pretty well.
It's too easy to unconsciously echo another novelist's voice while reading fiction, a habit of mimicry I probably picked up as a musician.
I get recognised on the phone because it's harder to cover up your voice than your head. You can put a hat on or something, but I can't do accents.
When I'm around someone for about five minutes, I can usually mimic their voice.
I've done plenty of phoners for Joel when he's been too busy. You'll never know. Our voices sound so similar.
The hardest part of ghost writing other people's stories is capturing their voices so that it isn't you talking, it's them.
I have an older sister who sounds, unfortunately, exactly like me, and we sound like our mother did.
You speak into it and everything is recorded, voice, tone, intonation, everything. You turn a little wheel, and forth it comes, and can be repeated ten thousand times. Only fancy what this suggests.
