Tips

Trim clips
Trim the clips to only contain speech. Use the button, or audio editing software like Audacity.
At least 5 sentences
Use at least 5 sentences for best results. This gives the AI enough information about the nuances of your voice.
Use different intonations and emotions
Use clips with different intonations and emotions to give the AI further information about your voice. If you want your voice to have a specific intonation or emotion, use clips consistently reflecting that style.
Use different words and sentences
Use clips with with a variety of words and sentences.
Remove background music or sound effects
Make sure the clips contain only speech, no background music or sound effects. MVSEP is a useful tool to separate voices from music.
Use a good microphone
Use a good microphone to record your voice. The better the quality of the recording, the better the results.
Original sounds will be deleted
Your original sounds will be deleted when cloning. Keep a backup if they are important.
Keep trying
Don't be discouraged if the first attempt doesn't sound perfect. Try again with different clips and settings. Have fun!
