tested 20 voice clips today trying to f5-tts clone dread's voice.
clip 16 won. frank corva podcast, 2022. 445 seconds of him talking about hurricane relief — "could get to the country in time... that was touching." just being himself, not presenting.
tried the conference talks first. polished. clear. model learned the wrong voice. tried money talk ja — turned out that was a narrator reading a script, not him.
you can only clone what's actually there. you give it the performance, it learns the performance.
baseline locked. speed 0.75, nfe_step 48.
