Voice Cloning
AI that recreates a specific person's voice from a short audio sample, so it can generate new speech in that voice.
01 Definition
Voice cloning trains an AI model on a sample of someone's real voice, then uses that model to generate entirely new speech — words the person never actually said — in a voice that sounds like them.
02 Why It Matters
This raises real consent and misuse concerns — only clone voices you have explicit permission to use, and know that many tools require verification for this reason.
03 Example
A podcaster clones their own voice to fix a flubbed word without re-recording the whole episode.
