BARK TTS is getting pretty darn close, check this out if any of you want to make your own realistic TTS locally on Windows.Elevenlabs is one I've used with some good basic voice cloning.
However, I think we're still a ways away from the level required for actual voice acting. There's no control for tone / emotion / context in how it's spoken. When that comes, things will really take off.
I'm confused, are you paying for their voice? If so then there should be a clause stating what can be done with it.I was thinking about cloning a couple of voices from fiverr that I liked for an experiment. But I don't know if this is even legal to steal someone's voice. What if I change them a bit in the audio editors?
Yes, I wanted to pay a voice actor for 1 minute of audio and then edit their voice so that it didn't sound like them at all and then clone it with TorToiSe. But I don't think anyone would agree to have his voice cloned, let alone used in a porn game.I'm confused, are you paying for their voice?

But copyright is still murky for this, since this is such new stuff.
You might be able to change the speed and pitch and or use other software altering it enough. But without consent for what you intend to do with it can be libel or defamation if they deem it so, especially if it sounds like exactly like them. An adult game would definitely fit a libel suit... Me personally I wouldn't worry much unless my game was making bank, especially if altered enough to not sound like the author.
I just have a feeling that all these voice actors online profiting off them are going to go on the offensive to anyone who dares clone their bread-and-butter and not pay for their services anymore like hit-and-run case lol...
