Voice impersonation

Using the new technology of voice style transfer via neural networks, it is becoming easier and easier to convincingly impersonate a target's voice. In this section, we show you how to use deep learning to have a recording of a target saying whatever you want them to say, for example, to have a target's voice used for social engineering purposes or, a more playful example, using Obama's voice to sing Beyoncé songs. We selected the architecture in mazzzystar/randomCNN-voice-transfer that allows for fast results with high quality. In particular, there is no need to pre-train the model on a large dataset of recorded audio.

In the accompanying code for this book, you will find two versions of the voice transfer neural network ...
