Merge AI Voice Models: Master the Art of Creating Unique Voices and Avoiding Copyright
Have you ever wondered how to merge voice models together to create your own unique voices? Well, today I'm going to show you the art of merging AI voice models and avoiding copyright issues! It's a fascinating process that allows you to create hybrid voices that don't exist in real life. And the best part? These unique voices belong to no one! So, let's dive into the world of merging AI voice models and discover how you can create your very own voice masterpieces.
Installing and Running MangoRVC
Before we begin, let's make sure you have MangoRVC installed. Don't worry if you don't, I'll guide you through the process. Once you have it installed, we can move on to the exciting part of merging voice models.
Finding the Perfect Voice Models
Now that you have MangoRVC set up, it's time to find the two voice models you want to merge. A great platform for finding voice models is voicemodels.com, but there are other options available too. Check out this tutorial for a comprehensive list of places where you can find voice models. For today's experiment, let's merge the iconic voices of Mr Beast and Markiplier.
When merging voices, it's important to use the same algorithms. In most cases, the algorithms used are rmvp or crepe. So, ensure that both voice models you choose have the same algorithm and version. You can easily find this information once you download the models.
Merging the Voice Models
Now that we have our voice models, let's start merging them. Start by extracting the pth files from the downloaded zip files, and make sure they are saved in the "weights" folder. Next, open the MangoRVC interface by double clicking the go web dobat file. This will bring up the checkpoint processing tab, where the magic happens.
If you're unsure about the version of the downloaded voice models, don't worry! MangoRVC lets you check it easily. Simply copy and paste the path of the voice model into the designated field and click "view". The information displayed might be in Chinese, but it's easy to understand. You'll see details like the number of epochs trained, the sample rate, and if it has pitch guidance.
Now, let's get down to business. In the checkpoint processing tab, you'll see two fields where you can paste the paths of your downloaded models. It doesn't matter which one goes first. Next, you'll find a slider that determines the emphasis or importance given to each voice model. Set it to 50% each for an equal blend. But feel free to experiment and find the perfect balance for your desired voice.
Don't forget to set the sample rate to 40k, as we discovered earlier, and make sure the voice models have pitch guidance. Lastly, give your new voice a name. Let's call it "Beast 50" to honor Mr Beast and "Mark 50" for Markiplier. Oh, and don't forget to set the version to 2 to stay consistent. Once you've set everything, click on "fusion" and voila! If everything goes according to plan, you should see the success message.
Testing the Merged Voice
Excited to hear your new voice creation? Head over to the weights folder and check out your newly created voice model. To test it out, open the modal inference section in MangoRVC. But wait, you won't see your new voice listed just yet. Click on "refresh voice list" to make it appear.
Now, grab an audio file that you want your new voice to speak. For example, let's use my recording. Copy the path of the audio file and paste it in the input audio field. Before we listen to the hybrid voice, let's hear how it sounds with only Mr Beast and then just Markiplier.
First, let's listen to the original Mr Beast voice:

Now, let's hear the original Markiplier voice:
"If you found this video helpful, remember to like, share and destroy that subscribe button. Also, stay tuned for the latest AI news and tutorials!"
Now, the moment we've all been waiting for. Let's listen to the hybrid voice created by merging Mr Beast and Markiplier:
"If you found this video helpful, remember to like, share and destroy that subscribe button. Also, stay tuned for the latest AI news and tutorials!"
Pretty cool, right? It's a perfect blend of both voices, with Mr Beast's trebly tone and Markiplier's deep base. But what if we change the balance? Let's try another hybrid voice, with 75% Mr Beast and 25% Markiplier:
"If you found this video helpful, remember to like, share and destroy that subscribe button. Also, stay tuned for the latest AI news and tutorials!"
As you can hear, this voice has more of Markiplier's deep base and less of Mr Beast's treble. Fascinating, isn't it?
And just to keep things interesting, let's try the reverse. Let's create a voice with 75% Markiplier and 25% Mr Beast:
"If you found this video helpful, remember to like, share and destroy that subscribe button. Also, stay tuned for the latest AI news and tutorials!"
Amazing, isn't it? With a simple merge of voice models, you can create unique voices that are sure to captivate your audience.
Conclusion
And there you have it, merging AI voice models to create your own unique voices! It's a powerful technique that not only helps you avoid copyright issues but also allows you to unleash your creativity like never before. With just a few simple steps, you can create hybrid voices that possess the best qualities of different voices.
Remember to experiment, finding the perfect blend for your desired voice. And of course, feel free to share your creations with the world! Whether you use it for narration, entertainment, or any other purpose, your unique voice will surely leave a lasting impression.
