Voice Cloning

• Select pretrained or “Clone new”.
Tip: You can upload your voice directly while creating a new podcast by choosing “Clone new” in the voice setup.
• Upload an audio file or paste a YouTube URL with offset/start time.
Tip: For best results, use a clean audio clip with at least 30 seconds of speech and minimal background noise.
• Wait for voice model to be trained (instant for pht1/pht2/ttp, few minutes for ttpx).
Warning: Avoid using audio clips with music or background noise — this can reduce the quality of the cloned voice.
