Descript Overdub Tutorial: CLONE Your Voice with AI

In this Descript tutorial, I guide you through the process of creating, cloning and customizing your own AI voice in Descript. I start by creating a new AI speaker from scratch, submitting my training data and verification phrase. This will both verify and train the voice.

Then I create a new Descript project, add some text using the Write tool and generate speech with the newly created AI voice using Overdub. I cover key functionalities such as assigning the AI voice to text, generating speech, adding gaps, controlling the Overdub files/segments, converting dynamic overdubs into editable audio files.

Yes, this all works as stated . . .
But, with the Creator plan they only have a vocabulary of 1000 words, all other words are filled with "Jibber, " and "Jabber." This is VERY deceptive on Descripts part. They go on to state you must update to the Pro plan to make your cloned voice worth using.

I find them deceptive in other ways as well.

Hi Cristi! I'm trying to decide on a video editing tool as a beginner. Thanks for all the info. Super helpful! Quick question: I have a subscription to Elevenlabs and want to use AI generated voice recordings from this tool to narrate my videos. Can I insert these elevenlabs audio files into videos I edit on Descript OR do I have to use Descript generated audio files?

Tried many times it keeps rejecting the recordings and saying we didnt match the statement, stupid thing.

Hey @Graphicious do you know if there is a limit to the amount of AI voices you can create? Thanks in advance for the info!

Descripts ultra nervous approach to voice cloning is why they never took off. Their so scared someone will clone a famous voice that theyve cut themselves off from mass adoption. If elevenlabs isnt scared and theyre by far the market leader, no one else needs to worry with the little traffic they receive
