Free Chinese Dubbing for "Flying Ducks"? I've stepped on these tools myself.
A while ago, I was helping a friend to make a fan video for "Flying Ducks Forward", and I was stuck with the Chinese dubbing for a long time. The budget is limited and do not want to use those mechanical to death AI voice, rummage through the domestic and foreign tools, really let me dig into a few can whoring baby, the effect is also unexpectedly good. If you are doing animation commentary, game live, or simply want to give a favorite clip with a Chinese version, this dry goods directly take away to use.
Don't spend a fortune! These free voice-over tools can really help!
Cutting and screening (cell phone/computer are fine): Don't underestimate it, the text-reading function that comes with Cinema Cut is actually very powerful. Open the text and paste the lines, select the "sunny boy" or "sensible female voice" in the "featured pronouncer", the effect is more natural than expected, especially with the "Flying Duck" and other light-hearted content. The result is more natural than expected, especially with content like "Flying Duck", which is on the lighter side, and the tone is a little bit naughty. The disadvantage is that there are fewer types of voices to choose from, and long speeches may be monotonous, but it's a foolproof operation, and you can use it by dragging and dropping it into the timeline directly after exporting.
Microsoft Azure Voice (free amount for web version): This is a little tricky, you need to register a Microsoft account. Enter Azure Voice Studio, select "Chinese (Simplified)", focus on finding "Xiao Xiao" and "Yun Yang" two voices, emotional expression is the most rich in free tools. The free quota is enough to generate tens of thousands of characters per month, which is completely enough for ordinary videos. I have tried to use it with "flying duck" in the duck quarrel clip, adjust the speed of speech and pause, really a bit of rhythmic flavor. Export format is MP3, remember to use Format Factory to WAV, sound quality loss is small.
AliCloud Intelligent Voice Interaction (New User Benefit): Sign up for a free hourly subscription, and the voice library is so large that you'll be dazzled. We recommend using "ZhiYu" or "SiYue", the pronunciation is clear, no weird accent. The interface of the web version is like typing code, so newbies may be confused, but you can buy a temporary account with tutorials for a few dollars at a certain treasure, so if someone teaches you, it will save you a lot of trouble. Remember to check the "Enable Emotion Synthesis" box when generating, otherwise it will sound like a news broadcast. The disadvantage is that the free time runs out, you have to charge money, suitable for short-term projects.
Baidu Intelligent Cloud Speech Synthesis (oldie but a goodie): Baidu engaged in AI voice early, the basic tone is very stable. Select "fine tone" in the "degree small Meng" or "degree free", especially suitable for matching the "flying duck" in the stupid cute It's especially suitable for the cute supporting characters in "Flying Duck". The free quota is enough, the web operation is more friendly than Aliyun, and you can adjust the dialect! I've tried to use Northeastern dialect to match the duck wrestling episode, and it's a great laugh. Generate files sometimes with a slight current sound, with Audacity to reduce the noise on the line, not a big problem.
OpenVoice (open source godsend, exclusive to tech parties): It's available on GitHub, it's totally free but requires some hands-on skills. The best part is that it can "clone" your own voice! Record a 5-minute dry-voice training model, and you can have the AI dub your voice. I've used it to mimic the bitchy voice of the main character of Flying Duck, and it's about 70% similar. However, the deployment process is tortuous, the graphics card is not good to generate slow, only recommended for geeks who love to play.
Hands-on! Hands-on dubbing of the "Flying Ducks" clip!
Take the famous scene of "Ducks stealing bread in a group" for example:
Treading the pits for the blood and tears of experience
The biggest pitfall of free tools is"Customer service accent."--Sounds like a 10086 operator. The solution is not to write lines that are too written, "Let's duck" is more human than "We're moving forward now". Break up short sentences and manually add comma pauses in the tool, or the AI will choke on them.
Encountering multiple characters? Don't use a hard voice to die. I tried to use Baidu with the hero + Aliyun with the villain, the difference in timbre is obvious, but the audience felt "luxury lineup". Background music volume pressure to the human voice of 30%, especially "flying duck" this action scene, BGM too loud will swallow words.
Most importantly:Copyright! Copyright! Copyright! Audio generated with these tools is basically safe for personal second creation, but want to hang a window and sell it for money? No way. Commercial must buy genuine licenses, do not lose because of small.
How long can you woolgather for free?
Microsoft, Ali, Baidu and such big manufacturers of free quota, personal use is very difficult to grip bald. But the policy changes, it is recommended to download the source file backup immediately after the generation of important projects. Shear such APP function is relatively stable, short-term should not be charged. Open source tools purely with love to generate electricity, but the most free, is the threshold is high.
To be honest, the effect of free tools now is almost the same as the paid version three years ago. Last time I used a domestic paid software to dub a documentary, the customer did not hear the difference between the free version and Azure, and I was so angry that my liver hurt. Next time for the "flying duck" to engage in voice-over, really do not need to rush out of the wallet, the above tricks enough for you to play out of the flowers.
