If you end up making an account, I’ll send you all of the audio source files I have.
As for those Leia lines, both of those were actually generated prior to adjectives being available. I believe I provided updated versions of them at some point, I’ll check the drive to see if they are there.
I could go in and generate them again to be more sad tomorrow. I did it for Sherlock already and it turned out great. I think I made a mistake by putting the “energetic” label on the voice, as that could explain why he perhaps seems a little too positive when speaking.
Yes. I was listening to the scene when generating these and I think they sound really close.
That feels like a detail our hypothetical visual dictionary could answer. What were his followers doing for the past 30 years? Modifying the weapon systems. That seems much more reasonable than building it all from scratch.
Alrighty, I’m pretty proud of my results here. I think with a tiny bit of mouth manipulation (if anybody knows how to do that) we could slide the first line in there. As for the second one, it’s just an easy replacement.
2 Options for “Hiding”:

And here is the final line:

I could also do that. Try to generate a version of the line that sounds as close as possible to the original with that one word changed.
It seems to me like replacing “In sixteen hours, attacks on all free worlds begin” would be our best bet. Perhaps something like: “It’s an Imperial stockpile from the old war.”
I say this with no understanding about how adjectives can direct this, but is there a way to direct it to speak as though it had to project its voice somewhat?
Perhaps with a “loud” label. But it might introduce some weird speech patterns. I’d have to try it out. Also, if we aren’t happy with the speed at which he speaks, that would be due to the fact I applied a slow adjective to those generations. If we want him to speak faster, I can remove that label.
His entire Palpatine speech lacks emotion and energy imo. So we’re not really doing anything different than Lucasfilm decided to go with lmao.
I think the gap between “a weapon located in the Ilum system” and “he worked on the base” is perfect. I would just take a second look at the word “Finn”. How would it sound if you used replaced that word with the reading I gave you?
I never quite understood why Lucasfilm decided to be all secretive about whether Starkiller Base is Ilum or not. I mean, after Fallen Order it was all but confirmed, but I’m really excited that the film itself will be able to tell us this.
At Nev’s recommendation, I applied a traditional American accent to it and it seems to be working better. This time, I split it up into 2 parts:

Here it is together:

That’s what I was thinking. Let me try splitting it up like I did with the Kylo line.
How do we feel about this Poe voice:
More emotional take: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jEwnlgYVSeCA-ql5m3DED1NcqTm7NUOQ/view?usp=sharing
More steady take: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hbyYTO3DOLrCcv14_xGSbvy1dwX-2pzv/view?usp=sharing
I thought the last one was already close to perfect. This is indistinguisable!
I see. So it’s virtually the same except it doesn’t reveal his parentage or mention Snoke. I love it, as it reveals Kylo’s character motivations much earlier in the film.
-Adjusted dialogue of Kylo’s Prayer to focus solely on his weakness, avoiding talk of family and Supreme Leader
What exactly did you end up using for his dialog here? Curious.
I hate to say this, but Mark Hamill’s voice in this audiobook sounds quite different from how he sounded in the Sequel Trilogy. His voice is a lot more gravely. What I think you should do, Jar Jar, is use AI software to cleanly isolate Hamill’s dialogue from Episodes VIII and IX, as well as the deleted scenes, and use that to sample for Luke’s new dialogue.
I agree, Mark uses a much deeper voice in the films. Like I said before, I’m not willing to do all of that work myself, but if somebody wants to give me the audio files I can synthesize them.
It’s very hard to get it to whisper. I applied that as an adjective and what I supplied was the best it gave me. I guess it might work the way it is because Kylo is kinda changing subjects a bit when he starts talking about his mom.
Also I discovered Oscar Isaac reads a few chapters in this audiobook: https://variety.com/2022/music/news/bob-dylan-audiobook-actor-readers-chapters-alfre-woodard-oscar-isaac-philosophy-modern-song-1235392871/
I wonder why I never noticed that audiobook. I could give it a shot, I just need to make another audible account with another email to get a free ebook lmao. No way am I paying 12 bucks for that.
I had to split it into three separate generations in order to get the best results. Here they are all stringed together as one audio file:

Here they are separately:

For some reason, doing this reminded me of the fact that we can now finally replace “Obi-Wan once thought as you do” with “Your mother once thought as you do”. I guess that’s better for another thread, though.
Since her friends are no longer involved, I could replace the word “see” with “sense”, as in the Force is involved in this.
I really liked that line from the novelization. I wonder if it might be too long as a replacement for that line, though. Perhaps I could remove the part about her friends?
I updated my previous post. I can’t blame you for missing those two lines because I never clarified what they were on the post they were attached to.
Woah, that’s a lifesaver. Thank you so much!
EDIT: You may have missed a couple.
This is an updated version of he’s too dangerous: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SR_beM3RIN1yxqGQ-oAP7zo-odIY0jot/view?usp=sharing
And this is an updated version of A Jedi needs her weapon: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HbLxQ4IE1kKbHL47aHEwYfPaOkiJeBbq/view?usp=sharing
Both of those utilized the adjective/label feature.
