Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this AI voice thing, right? You know, like that Forever Voices thing everyone’s talking about. But honestly, it wasn’t really cutting it for me. Too complicated, too many issues. So I decided to find something else, something, you know, easier.
I started by just Googling “Forever Voices alternatives.” Loads of stuff came up, of course. I spent a good few hours clicking through different websites and stuff. It was a bit of a mess, honestly. Lots of promises, but not a lot of substance.
First, I downloaded a couple of apps that looked promising. I spent a good chunk of the day, downloading and trying. One of them had a free trial, so I spent my time on it.
- The interface was alright, I guess, a bit clunky, but I could figure it out.
- But then, when I tried to actually use it, the voices were super robotic. Not what I was looking for at all.
I uninstalled that one pretty quick. Then I tried another one. This one, you had to upload a voice sample. Okay, fine. So I recorded myself saying a bunch of random stuff, like I was reading some news online, and uploaded it. It was boring, I have to say. It was not an easy job.
This app took forever to process. I mean, I went and made myself some coffee, did some other work, and it was still going. Finally, it finished. And… it was just okay. It kind of sounded like me, but like, a really bad impression of me. I tried to adjust the settings and made some changes. I did my best to make it better.
I tinkered with it for a while, but I just couldn’t get it to sound natural. It was frustrating, to say the least. I was starting to think this whole AI voice thing was just a big waste of time.
But then, I stumbled upon a small group online. People there were talking about these alternatives and sharing their own experiences. I joined the conversation, asked for some suggestions, and shared my issue. They were nice and tried to help. Someone recommended this other app that I hadn’t seen before. They said they used it for some small projects. It was not that bad. I thought, “Why not?” It was not a big deal to have one more try.
So, I downloaded it, and wow, what a difference! This one was way easier to use. The voices sounded way more natural, too. I played around with it for a few hours, and I was actually able to create something that I was happy with. I finally did it!
My conclusion
It took some trial and error, for sure, but I finally found a Forever Voices alternative that works for me. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s definitely a step up from what I was dealing with before. If you’re looking for something similar, don’t give up! Keep searching, keep trying different things, and you’ll find something that works for you. Also, asking for help is not that bad. Just do it.
