VOICE LAB / 001INDEXTTS-2.5 · RTX 5060 TI

Finding a voice
for Jarvis.

A voice cloning experiment running on a local GPU. I fine-tuned a model myself first, then moved to a zero-shot approach that needs no training. Jarvis speaks English; MOSS speaks Chinese. Want to hear a line first? Scroll down.

Speed

Write English for Jarvis, Chinese for MOSS; speed is adjustable, MOSS defaults to 1.05×.

The chain is: browser → site server → tunnel → the 5060 Ti at home. One request returns one complete clip; this is not a live stream. Only one request is processed at a time, and a second one is told to try again shortly. When my 5060 Ti is on, this section works; when it is off, the section stays grey and the finished samples below still play.

WHYONE IDEA · THREE ENGINES

Cloning this voice
was a long-held idea.

Cloning Jarvis's voice is something I had wanted to do for a long time. Not to make a product—I just wanted to hear it say a new sentence in its own voice.

Recently I happened to get an RTX 5060 Ti, and that finally put the idea on the table. I trained my own version first: 300 sentences, a fine-tune of XTTS, 20 full epochs and 1400 steps, producing a 5.3 GB checkpoint. Then I tried GPT-SoVITS, and finally moved to IndexTTS-2.5, where one reference clip does the job better than either. That is what I still use.

XTTS fine-tune→GPT-SoVITS→IndexTTS-2.5

All three stages were actually run. Every sample and the online trial on this page run on the last one.

THREE TAKESSAME LINE · REAL RUNS

One line, three approaches.

All three clips say the same English sentence: “Good evening sir, how are you? All systems are operational and the workshop is secure.” Listen to the difference first; the reason for switching comes after.

XTTS BASE · 5.9s

Stage 1 · before fine-tuning

Original Coqui XTTS-v2 weights with a reference clip.

XTTS FINE-TUNED · 6.9s

Stage 2 · fine-tuned

The same model after 20 epochs and 1400 steps on 300 sentences.

INDEXTTS-2.5 · 5.1s

Stage 3 · zero-shot

Switched to IndexTTS-2.5: one reference clip, no training. This is what the page runs now.

The first two are before and after a single fine-tune; the third was generated later with the zero-shot setup. All three were generated on the local machine, with no editing.

THE FINE-TUNE300 SENTENCES · 1400 STEPS

I trained one first,
then learned where to stop.

The material was 300 English sentences with a matching text table, trained with Coqui's official XTTS trainer. Batch size 4, gradient accumulation 4, 20 epochs and 1400 steps; the best checkpoint came at step 675, and the final weights are 5.3 GB. One RTX 5060 Ti, a full run.

It did sound closer than the base model, but still a layer away from the film, and every new voice meant retraining. Once IndexTTS-2.5 matched with a single reference clip, I judged there was no reason to keep training and stopped.

Why these weights are not published: the base XTTS-v2 is under the CPML licence, which is non-commercial only, and the training material is a public JARVIS dataset whose source voice is itself under copyright. Publishing the weights would not be appropriate. The method is what I am happy to share—record 300 sentences in your own voice and you can reproduce it.

ZERO-SHOTPLAIN WORDS

Zero-shot voice cloning,
in plain words.

Zero-shot means the model is not retrained for a particular voice. You give it a reference clip of a few seconds to a few dozen seconds, then a new sentence, and it reads that sentence in the voice from the reference. The clip only supplies the voice; you supply the words.

I run the open-source IndexTTS-2.5 on a machine with an RTX 5060 Ti, with inference happening on that machine. So far I have cloned two kinds of voice: my AI assistant Jarvis, and MOSS from the film The Wandering Earth. One sentence takes about three to five seconds. The language follows the text: write English and Jarvis speaks English; write Chinese and MOSS speaks Chinese.

REFERENCE6 CLIPS · WHERE THE VOICES COME FROM

Jarvis

Two candidate reference clips from the same recording, handled two ways. The clean take is the default.

02 / REFERENCE
REFERENCE · 6.9s

Denoised. This is the default reference now.

REFERENCE · 6.9s

Raw take

The recording before denoising, kept for comparison.

MOSS

Four reference clips cut from public film audio. Their noise floor, score and pace differ, and the cloned result changes with them.

04 / REFERENCE
ORIGINAL REF · 16.3s

Self-introduction · recommended

Music sits underneath this clip.

ORIGINAL REF · 5.0s

Faster speech, a little conversational.

ORIGINAL REF · 4.5s

The most charged take.

References only decide the timbre; all six demos above were synthesized separately, not cut from the references.

NOTESPERSONAL RESEARCH

This is a personal technical experiment.Not a commercial product and not a public service. Every clip on this page is a pre-rendered static file, so it plays whether or not the machine is on.

The MOSS voice comes from publicly available audio from the film The Wandering Earth. It is used only for personal technical research, not for any commercial purpose.
