> This is how Lewis D. Wheeler, a Boston-based white male actor, found himself holed up in a studio for days listening to and repeating snippets of Nixon’s audio. There were hundreds of snippets, each only a few seconds long...
Wheeler’s job was to re-record each snippet in his own voice, matching the exact rhythm and intonation. These little bits were then fed into Respeecher’s algorithm to map his voice to Nixon’s.
It would be nice to hear what the actor was able to produce directly, before it was "mapped" to be Nixon. With the amount of effort that was spent, I'd presume that there are actors good enough to create a convincing fakes even without the post-processing. Are there any before-and-after samples available?
