A beautiful day brings joy and happiness, like a bird singing in the morning light.
The gentle river flows through the green valley, bringing life to the quiet village.
The sun's golden rays bring warmth to the clear, blue sky, while the soft breeze whispers through the trees.
In the distance, the majestic mountain stands tall, untouched by the passing of time.
The book on the shelf is filled with enchanting tales of love, courage, and adventure.
On a cold winter's day, the warm fire in the hearth is a comforting presence.
A cup of hot tea and a good book are the perfect companions for a rainy day.
The laughter and chatter of children playing in the park is a delightful sound.
The garden is a riot of color, with flowers blooming in every corner.
The stars in the night sky are like diamonds, shining brightly in the darkness
The moon shines brightly on the calm sea.
Cherries ripen quickly in the warm summer sun.
A kitten purrs softly when it is content.
The mighty oak tree stands tall in the forest.
A gentle breeze rustles the leaves in the trees.
The aroma of fresh bread wafts from the bakery.
The old stone bridge crosses the babbling brook.
Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles in the stormy sky.
A shoal of fish dart through the crystal-clear water.
The lighthouse stands guard over the rocky shore.
Bright city lights twinkle in the distance.
A pebble skips across the surface of the pond.
The train chugs slowly up the steep hill.
A butterfly flutters among the beautiful flowers.
The farmer tends to his fields with care.
A squirrel scurries up the tall tree trunk.
The old clock in the hall chimes the hour.
A painter captures the beauty of the sunset on canvas.
The waves lap gently against the sandy beach.
The rustle of pages is the only sound in the library.

Be sure to speak these phrases naturally at a regular pace

• Give yourself time to rest your vocal cords between sentences.
• Keep a glass of water or tea with honey to soothe long recording sessions.
• Don't clear your throat too often.
• Record 3-4 takes of the sentences at different times during the day before meals.

A high-quality microphone is recommended.

• Use a pop filter to take the edge off of 'p' and 't' words, as this will cause clipping
  • If you can't afford one, you can take a round hoop and put a sheer fabric around it; give yourself a diameter of 6-8 inches on the hoop
• Keep the recording room small
  • Try to surround the area with dampening curtains or towels
  • The less reverb (echo) and background noise, the better the ML can focus on your voice
  • Apply peak limiting in your equalizer if a hum or whine is in the background, like an A/C in the environment or lightbulbs buzzing. This will typically be in a fixed kilohertz range. Drag the peak down to lessen the effect.

While Audacity is often used in YouTube videos because it is free, there are better recording, editing, mixing, and mastering tools like Cockos Reaper.

• Yes, it costs money, but if you're putting in this kind of effort, you'll want to spring on the $60 (as of June 2023)
• It has a ton of FX for free called VSTs
• It can be scripted with Python, LUA, and EEL

Create new sentences and actively listen to your TTS results. To reduce hallucinations in your generated samples, you may have to go back and create additional recordings using replacements for robotic-sounding words in the context of a sentence.

• 'nother instead of Another may mean you started too softly at the start of a sentence
• Skipping or overextending syllables may mean it can't correctly concatenate words. Try to enunciate multisyllabic words more clearly.
• Listen to how others pronounce the word - you may need to say it correctly. (It's okay, sometimes people see the word written only and not spoken)
  • When in doubt, go to Google Translate (https://translate.google.com) and paste the word in
