JackGPT couldn’t have existed without the proper voice. The skeleton prop is only half of the character. Unfortunately most of the stock voices out there sound like… well… stock voices. No character to them, no performance built in. You know Siri, Alexa and others. They just sound fake.
When searching for options I found that Eleven Labs had not just a few good voices, but seemingly unlimited voices that I could create with their tools.
And I don’t know how they even pull this off, but the character voices even have the proper inflection and delivery of a line. Give this example a listen – I did nothing to it other than type in the text to ElevenLabs text-to-speech tool. Astounding!
