Do you mind sharing a link to your creator platform too?

I'm an indie entrepreneur, so it's just me on this project, but it's been great fun.


Cool platform! Thinking about using it for a game project I'm working on – at least for temp V/O. I was noticing that the player for voice acting doesn't play reliably on the search page – you have to go to the profile first. Might be a quick fix.


thanks for the bug report!

Is there an error on the page or just it just not play anything?

Trying to reproduce.

Edit: figured it out. Will fix!


Just curious - have the worlds collided yet, with people asking voice actors to record data for training TTS models with their voice?


My company has hired some people for TTS voice training on Upwork. About 90% of the voice actors resented the implications that someone else could make their voice say stuff that they disagree with. But some of them also found the idea of becoming digitally immortal very attractive.

The same way some people like to put up a marble statue of their heroic deeds, others like to record themselves for the internet. In my opinion, both types of people want to avoid being forgotten and surely if you become a famous TTS voice, you'll have a Wikipedia entry...


Currently, projects asking for TTS model training are banned on the platform, but only because there was outrage amongst the users.


I'd work on that as a intern for free

You can try some really really really interesting things with half a million users
