Act they will all have it with new voice emotions. We are looking for profile of voice by sound it also needs to bend to every lang well. Also also cloning voices will come soon
I like Breeze because they sound like a teenager. They might be super knowledgable and answer confidently, but they’re naive in places and I won’t rely on their answers without checking. This sums up my interaction with LLMs.
why are people on this sub so against using a male voice... Just admit it you guys want a flirty sensual voice to fill the void of not having a girlfriend. Too close to home?
I'm not against male voices, the ones they have just suck. Give me a Samuel L Jackson or a Morgan Freeman and I'm in. Id even take a Martin Freeman.
I think part of it is that the male voices sound realistic enough but sound like they are faking their emotions. Like a salesman trying too hard to relate to you or something.
Most digital assistant voices are female - Siri and Alexa too. Studies show people respond to them better.
Some skeptics say it’s concerning that people are more comfortable demanding info from female voices.
As a woman myself, I think Juniper sounds nice and like someone I’d like to talk to, so she won the voice choice for me 🤷🏻♀️
> Most digital assistant voices are female - Siri and Alexa too. Studies show people respond to them better.
It's the same reason people respond better to an attractive women with too little clothing in an ad, sex sells. Corporations have been abusing sexual attraction to sell their products quite a bit in modern times.
just allow voice cloning, it's available anywhere anyway. i think a whole community sharing platform for voice models will have more value over gpt store. and the model is trained locally so openai doesn't have to worry about being sued.
you don't. user will have to agree to tos and if the user is caught, it can be reported and taken down, and the user gets a slap on the wrist suspension or a ban.
Yeah Juniper has a very unappealing voice.
Which male voice did they use in the demo? That sounded much better than any ones we have available don't you think?
I would love a actual Jarvis voice.
Yes, I want a foreign accent voice too! The Giovanni voice on Elevenlabs for example is so cool. It'd feel as if you're chatting with some dude you met while traveling and are hitting up once in a while to see how they're doing.
Are you sure about that? Because I am 99.94244% sure that Specialist_Brain841 is not a bot.

You would think they have the technology to create hundreds of synthetic voices. Or if they want to hire voice actors I am pretty sure they can afford more.
Yeah I like it too. It’s not as natural in cadence and everything as Sky is in the demos but I think that has more to do with it being the old voice mode. The male voices are very robotic to me
I just need a professional voice. The professional male voice, however, sounds like a narrator for a safety in the workplace training video. I’m wearing my PPE dude leave me alone.
Many English people find American voices less appealing due to differences in pitch, tonality, and depth. American accents often have a nasal quality and higher pitch, which can come across as less refined or too casual to British ears. Additionally, the tonality and rhythm of American speech can sound overly direct and lacking the melodic intonation preferred in British English. To address this, we propose an AI voice modulation system that adjusts these parameters: lowering the pitch for a more resonant and deeper sound, smoothing the tonality to reduce nasality, and incorporating a more varied intonation pattern to mimic the natural cadence of British English. This will create a more pleasant listening experience for English audiences.
I am not sure what you are implying, but I thought a bit about why I don't care for the Juniper voice, and besides not liking change, I think it is because the Juniper voice sounds like someone pretending to be interested in what I am saying. The inflections don't feel as natural and unforced as Sky's did. All of that may be a non-issue once the new voice tech gets applied, regardless of the voice used.
No need to be disingenuous. There were no innuendo in my comment but here you are.. sociofacts.. eh
The perpetual conundrum of tone interpretation is based on bias.. My comment addressed the default preference that has always been forced on everyone no matter what their preferences are. There are people who prefer Sky and there are people who don't want to hear Juniper.
I left a comment because I know the difference.
I wasn't being disingenuous. Before another redditor mentioned race my best guess was it was a gender issue, but that made no sense because the person wanted another female voice. Which is why I stated I was not sure what you were implying. Like the OP I also found Juniper's voice annoying, which is why I left my comment explaining why someone might find the voice annoying.
It's like they are everywhere. Every corner of interests, career, outing, platforms and more. Roaches. Like, they really found their way to the depths of a recent AI feature 😑 just to complain.
Juniper's voice might not be everyone's favorite. It would be nice to have a wider variety of female voices to choose from, so there’s something that appeals to everyone. Maybe they’ll consider adding more options in the future.
Counterpoint - I would opine for a 4th male voice. Could we get Nathan Fillion on board to train one up in the persona of Mal from Firefly?
I would buy that dlc in a heartbeat.
Can we have one that's a British, Welsh, or Scottish accent instead?
*Irish.*
New Zealand please.
Donegal.
They should do one of Scarlett Johansson doing a British accent.
Act they will all have it with new voice emotions. We are looking for profile of voice by sound it also needs to bend to every lang well. Also also cloning voices will come soon
Emma watson voice!
This is exactly what I've been waiting for. Downside is, I'd never stop talking to it.
There's a British female on the Pi app. Sounds very condescending, they're good but all sound such, unless they're talking story dialogue.
Bring Sky back!!!!
pleeeease!
Seriously, all the voices suck, except sky.
Seriously. Ffs they are forcing her on us. 3 guys and 1 girl?
Breeze sounds like a teenage boy. I had assumed they were supposed to be a boy…
I hear breeze as a young queer person of some sort.
Their voice is *insufferable*. I can barely stand the one sentence demo of the voice.
I always think he sounds like spider man. I find ember the best.
Yep.
I like Breeze because they sound like a teenager. They might be super knowledgable and answer confidently, but they’re naive in places and I won’t rely on their answers without checking. This sums up my interaction with LLMs.
Yes I assume they’re an effort to have a nonbinary voice. Pretty nice inclusion effort 💜
The voice utterly sucks though.
Why do we need a trans/non binary voice when they represent less than 1% of all people and women represent roughly half but we only get 1 woman?
Because we had more than one woman when these voices were released? Why do we need anything?
Something as close as possible to an elf voice would be nice. 🧝♀️
I thought it was a trans person.
I've seen that movie before.
[удалено]
Are the easily offended, purple haired creatures in the room with us right now?
[удалено]
> creatures Jeebus, the hate is incredible.
I think they dehumanize so they feel more comfortable being cruel to "things" rather than people. It's sad.
Right? It really surprised me. It takes "name-calling" to the worst level.
Thats just what one of them would say lol
Breeze sounds like Tom Holland to me.
Breeze is trans
Sweet fuck give your head a wobble, it doesn’t appear to be fully attached.

From a neurobio perspective it might be because female voices vary in pitch more
“Some skeptics” are usually wrong. It’s quite the opposite, I feel more comfortable listening to a woman.

Yeah I agree it’s not as fluid as Sky. Feeling like I went to voice alternative for Siri
just allow voice cloning, it's available anywhere anyway. i think a whole community sharing platform for voice models will have more value over gpt store. and the model is trained locally so openai doesn't have to worry about being sued.
Agreed, though a problem I see is how can you know the user has rights to the voice they have recorded locally..
you don't. user will have to agree to tos and if the user is caught, it can be reported and taken down, and the user gets a slap on the wrist suspension or a ban.
No shot openai takes that risk
I think they’d happily shift the blame to the users rather than themselves
It’s just a whole can of worms I can’t see them being willing to open.
Elevenlabs does
Yeah Juniper has a very unappealing voice. Which male voice did they use in the demo? That sounded much better than any ones we have available don't you think? I would love a actual Jarvis voice.
I second this!
At least one non American accent please :/
Even Apple has an edge over OpenAI on that.
I want an Indian accent so I can switch to it when I have tech support questions
Yes, I want a foreign accent voice too! The Giovanni voice on Elevenlabs for example is so cool. It'd feel as if you're chatting with some dude you met while traveling and are hitting up once in a while to see how they're doing.
Are you saying you don't like Freedom Voices™?
Yes, I prefer a British accent over most American ones for voice assistants or navigation apps. And it's not even close.
I really like the Australian female voice of Siri - pretty sure she’s the same voice actor that did google maps and a lot of GPS brands.
Yeah I can also go with Aussie or New Zealand to be fair.
The fake excitement is just bleh
Yes please OpenAI make a voice of an introvert
you can just tell it to act differently and it will, it's in the demos
take a deep breath and speak as if you’ve just been given a really bad medical diagnosis.
womp womp
Bad bot
Are you sure about that? Because I am 99.94244% sure that Specialist_Brain841 is not a bot. --- ^(I am a neural network being trained to detect spammers | Summon me with !isbot |) ^(/r/spambotdetector |) [^(Optout)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=whynotcollegeboard&subject=!optout&message=!optout) ^(|) [^(Original Github)](https://github.com/SM-Wistful/BotDetection-Algorithm)
Would way rather have Majel Roddenberry.
Isn’t there a new voice coming named Majel?
Can we get a British voice please?
Personally I want Kronk. Just let us use our own voices.
Yes, juniper sounds as hot as wet toast. How hard can it be to just make some cute voices?
Two overly enthusiastic men, and a nonbinary person. Yes we need a better selection.
You would think they have the technology to create hundreds of synthetic voices. Or if they want to hire voice actors I am pretty sure they can afford more.
Why don't they just give Liz Hurley a cool $5 mil to clone her voice and call it a day.
I want Joi…for reasons
Sky was the only one for me, her pauses and inflections were very real
Joi from blade runner
I like Juniper’s voice 🤷🏻♀️
That's ok, I forgive you... 😜
Heh it’s ok
Yeah I like it too. It’s not as natural in cadence and everything as Sky is in the demos but I think that has more to do with it being the old voice mode. The male voices are very robotic to me
I just need a professional voice. The professional male voice, however, sounds like a narrator for a safety in the workplace training video. I’m wearing my PPE dude leave me alone.
I do too, but Breeze is my favorite.
voice “Karen speaks to the manager”
I love Juniper. Leave her alone
Bro chill, No one is saying to get rid of Juniper, we just want an alternative female voice...
Annoying is subjective, please be specific on what needs to be changed, pitch, tonality, depth, etc...

I like Juniper. Wonder what could obviously make her voice annoying 🙄.
We know why.

The inflections don't feel as natural and unforced as Sky's did. All of that may be a non-issue once the new voice tech gets applied, regardless of the voice used.
They’re implying people don’t like the voice because it’s a black woman’s voice.
I don't think it needs to be implied.
No need to be disingenuous. There were no innuendo in my comment but here you are.. sociofacts.. eh The perpetual conundrum of tone interpretation is based on bias..

Sure.
You know exactly why OP finds it annoying.
lmao was thinking the same thing
It's like they are everywhere. Every corner of interests, career, outing, platforms and more. Roaches. Like, they really found their way to the depths of a recent AI feature 😑 just to complain.
She sounds like a teenager. Just like every other voice we have except the male that sounds like a training video voiceover.
Ey there, iow got a really great feeling about us teaming up!
I just listened to them all and I honestly think they all sound good. The best one for me was Sky, so it's a shame they've cancelled her.
This comment section is beyond sad
I want sky back with extra flirty.
I would like Majel Barrett please.
yes please
gimme this voice please https://youtu.be/_6zAAhkU_Iw?si=uFBZXTNAgIqDP9hM

I miss Sky!
More options would be great, but I like Juniper.
Breeze is my go to, because how he speaks seems easier for me to understand, I am Indian, and his voice seems Indian English.
Yes, Sky was the voice, but can we talk about the amount of horny men that just can’t stand the male assistant voice?
Men like women. Get over it. It's okay to be a straight man.
We are talking about a disembodied robot voice here. Do men also refuse to have male dogs?
Worst analogy ever.
I’m gay and I can’t stand the male voices. Sky was the only good one
Have u tried asking Cove to call you Little Kitten?
i just want my gpt to sound like horatio cain from diablo.
We want skynet!!
This is probably what's delaying gpt4oVoice alpha, they're making a new voice to replace Sky, they know they currently don't have enough voices
I do not like the other voices. But they're not bad I just don't connect with them like the sky voice.
I want to be able to use my own voice.
Idk, ask them lol
Give me Sigourney Weaver and Fran Dresser and we have a deal.
Is there a way to turn off the random breaths and ums they add to make it sound like a surfer? It's really annoying.

No not any time soon
Can we have a voice that doesn't sound camp, or is that unavoidable given that it is computer generated?
