How to Prepare Your Audio Clips for Voice Recreation

You've decided to use EchoAgain to recreate a loved one's voice. That's a beautiful step. To ensure the AI generates the most realistic and heartwarming voice possible, the quality of the input audio matters.

Here is a guide to choosing the best clips.

What Makes a Good Sample?

The ideal audio clip has:

  • Clear Speech: The person should be speaking clearly, without mumbling.
  • Minimal Background Noise: Avoid clips with loud music, TV noise, or other people talking over them.
  • Natural Emotion: A clip where they are speaking naturally (like telling a story) is better than one where they are reading a script stiffly.

Length Matters

You don't need hours of audio.

  • Minimum: 60 seconds of clear speech.
  • Recommended: 2-5 minutes for higher accuracy.
  • Maximum: We can process up to 20 minutes per upload, but quality is more important than quantity.

How to Clean Up Your Audio

If your only recording has some background noise, don't worry. Our system has built-in noise reduction, but you can help it along:

  1. Trim the Silence: Use a simple editor to cut out long pauses or sections where they aren't speaking.
  2. Isolate the Voice: If there is a section where two people are talking, try to cut around it so only your loved one's voice remains.

Common Sources for Audio

Struggling to find a clip? Check these places:

  • Voicemails: Often the most natural source of speech.
  • Home Videos: Check birthday or holiday videos.
  • Voice Notes: WhatsApp or Messenger audio messages are often high quality.

Ready to Upload?

Once you have your file ready, simply log in to your EchoAgain dashboard and start the "New Voice" process. It takes less than a minute to upload and start the magic.
