TTS voice cloning
Voice cloning makes an AI copy of a voice from a short audio clip. You upload 10 to 90 seconds of clean speech, KickBot trains the voice in about a minute, and your viewers can use it in TTS with its own chat command. Clone your own voice, a friend’s voice with their permission, or a character voice you have the rights to use. Open it at kickbot.com/dashboard/tts/clones, or click TTS, then Voice clones.
