I Built a Website That Lets You Clone Your Voice (And It’s Kind of Addictive)

The Problem: Voice ≠ Scalability
Let’s face it: We’re in the era of short-form content. YouTubers, TikTokers, indie podcasters, and even solo devs are turning into full-time creators.
But there’s one thing that always gets in the way: your voice can’t scale.

You can write a thousand tweets, generate blog posts with GPT, and build apps in 2 days...
But recording voiceovers? Editing audio? Sounding good in multiple languages? That’s where it gets messy.

The Experiment: Can I Turn My Voice Into a Tool?
I wanted to create a tool where:

You upload a short voice sample

The system clones your voice

You can type anything you want → and your voice says it

Optionally… change the accent, emotion, or even pitch

So I built accentvoice.net — a fun little project that went from a late-night idea to something people now use to prank their friends, create YouTube intros, and even send long-distance love notes.

Under the Hood 🛠️
Frontend: Next.js + TailwindCSS

Backend: Python FastAPI + Whisper + Bark + WebRTC

Voice Cloning: Open-source models fine-tuned on user input

Storage: Temporary audio generation (no permanent uploads for privacy)

Bonus: Multilingual accent support (French? Aussie? Robot? Yes.)

Who Is It For?
Honestly? Anyone. But here’s who I’ve seen using it the most:

Indie hackers making promo videos

Creators who want to localize content

Remote couples sending “audio hugs”

Devs just messing around with their robot alter-egos

Try It Yourself
It’s free, browser-based, and doesn’t ask for your credit card or shoe size.

https://accentvoice.net

P.S. Funny Use Case
One user cloned his cat’s meow, turned it into a British voice, and used it as a voicemail greeting.

I don’t know what this says about the state of the internet. But I love it.

🧠 What’s Next?
I’m planning:

Voice cloning from video samples

Real-time accent switching

Embedding this as an API (DM me if you want to integrate!)

Thanks for reading. I’d love feedback — whether it’s about the tech, the use case, or the ethics of having 5 cloned voices talking to each other in my browser tab.
