I have not yet had any serious use cases with this tech, but I've enjoyed playing around with it and I love its possibilities.

(A while back, as an experiment, I recorded samples with a variety of silly character voices and fake accents; when the end result merged them into one, it sounded hilarious.)




Hi Shannifin, at Replica (https://replicastudios.com/) we have a lot of serious use cases from our customers and increasingly more uses as the tech has been improving and the product becomes easier to use!

Currently we have seen users develop pretty much anything such as: games from indie to AAA, animations and other creative clips, audio books and spoken stories of all types, enterprise coaching videos, ads, and much more!


I'll use this to dub over videos I'm making.


Voice acting for ... games, audiobooks, etc?


I think the tech still needs a bit more polish to replace great voice acting, but it's definitely an exciting possibility! (Although I've definitely heard some voice acting and audiobook narration (libravox) that's pretty bad and this tech already beats!)


Cloning your voice to TTS reader software so that your kids or loved ones can read/listen using your voice.


That would be awesome


Robocalling, with some interactivity. "Hello! This is Camp Ayne running for city council. How are your kids Doris and Eugene?"


That's going to be completely indistinguishable from phishing. How would you protect yourself from that?


Lenny will tie them up.


Or use it with GPT-3 to answer phone calls I don't want to take...
