How To Emulate This Voice

How does on go about emulating a writing style or voice?

There are two approaches:1. Immersive exposure and osmotic uptake.  You emulate as a result of constant exposure and creeping emulation.  This is how people's accents evolve when they move.2. Analysis and conscious mimicry.  You note what aspects of a voice or style give it its identity, and use those markers freely and consistently in your own work.  This is how impressionists mimic specific accents and people.

Could artificial intelligence emulate any human voice?

I can't find my real voice when I sing. I can emulate Billy Corgan or Anthony Keidis pretty well, but I can't seem to sing like myself. How do successful singers find/create their voice?

Your true voice is where it works most efficiently and with the greatest amount of ease. This is not to say that singing is easy. Singing is a sport. While it should appear effortless. It is not. You must sing with aggressive energy and vitality to support a sound vocal technique. Also, your mental concept of what you want to sound like is a tremendous influence. Taking the aforementioned criteria into consideration, you should be able to determine where your voice fits most efficient. A great teacher can assist you. But, be careful because you can be misguided. If I can give a listen, I will be willing to tell you what I think. Often, there is no definitive answer. There is nothing wrong with being able to sing in more than one fach. Some singers change their fach a number of times during their career. Finding your level of greatest efficient use of the voice is a quest. Train the inner ear as you move forward as a tool to assist you. Developing the ear is essential, other elements like correct vowel placement are by-products of someone who can hear the right notes. Learning Solfege is a great tool/way to train the ear, musictheory.net and PianoNanny.com - Free Piano Lessons are excellent resources. The Solfege-Patterns Song provides a vernacular of sounds that will enhance the ability to critically negotiate pitches and sing in tune. I am available for assistance. Regarding rock and opera, good technique transfers across genres. Michael Bolton sings both rock and opera. Michael Bolton sings Nessun Dorma. Also, I studied with Seth Riggs. fach - Google Search

Is it true that the singers you emulate can cause your voice to become clone like of that artist?

First, let’s clarify: the singers you emulate cannot cause your clone-like imitation of their singing. Your choice to pretend to sound like someone else will cause that, not Garth Brooks or Luther Vandross or Louis Armstrong or Barry Manilow or any other singer you choose to emulate.Yes, it is easier to imitate someone more popular and successful than to develop your own voice and your own sound, but the question you wrote asked quite clearly whether the singers you emulate can cause a change in your voice, making you into a clone beyond your will, like “Invasion of the Voice Snatchers”.No.Listening to their recordings over and over, practicing their vocal stylings and, most importantly, not listening to other singers, other voice teachers, other renditions of the same songs, will create fallacies in your mind:that there is no other way, no better way, to sing this songthat the closer you get to imitating another singer, the better singer you’ll become, and the more people will like your singingthat to sing exactly like another singer will make you as good a singer as who you imitate.Don’t misunderstand: imitation, mimicry, transcription and any other attempt to copy another’s performance is important, even necessary, to understand what a type of singing sounds like, feels like. It is an intermediate step towards mastery, not the final destination.Rocco LaPrestia, the star bass guitarist with Tower of Power, had a fan proclaim “I can play every lick you ever recorded.” Rocco said “good for you. Now come up with your own.”Having licks and effects and devices in your ‘toolbox’ is important to increase your versatility. But if your idea of a great compliment is “wow, you sound just like…” you will become more the victim of self-inflicted arrested development.

Can current technology emulate a specific person's voice to make them say anything the engineer/operator desires?

Sure it can. If you are an iPhone 4S or later user, you almost certainly have heard this voice of this woman…This is Susan Bennett, and her voice was sampled using several common phrases, numbers, and A TON of nonsense which Apple splices, dices, mixes and matches to create customized responses for your Siri experience. In fact, there are even ways to make Siri say whatever you want.

What are some ways to impersonate other people's voices?

Some people are natural-born mimics, just as some people remember numbers easily and others can wrap presents perfectly.  Anyone can improve his ability to mimic others (sorry, Fred Landis, but I have to back Malcolm on this issue) but that doesn't mean you will out-mimic celebrated mimics like Mel Blanc, Robin Williams and Michael Winslow.  I'm not a neuroscientist-- just a lowly language teacher-- but I have observed over many years that some people have the proverbial leg up in this area, and that leg up doesn't correlate with apparent academic attitude, interest, IQ, background, gender, etc. etc.  It's like the ear for music that some have-- they remember melodies well, even after a single hearing.  Speech is melodic too.  It can--and is--learned in a similar way, and people advantaged in this area are somewhat more likely to mimic well.While we focus on the speech organs and focus (as usual) on "innate talent", I consider mimicry to be first and foremost about hearing.  The listener has to parse the phonetic stream or the sound effect and has to hear and separate out what makes an accent or noise distinct.  Most of us can easily tell a Scot from a Texan, but ask the typical person precisely what makes their speech different, and most people would not find it easy to explain.  A gifted mimic-- and a good language learner-- can answer this question, however.  That person can hear,  isolate, remember and reproduce the differences, even the subtle ones many don't even hear.  Mimcry also depends (obviously) upon the ability to manipulate your speech organs in novel ways.  This, however, requires practice.  Anyone can improve in this area to the point of being comprehensible or, perhaps, passable.  In my opinion, mimics find this a bit easier and so socially rewarding (and, later, financially rewarding) that they put in the practice it takes to get those rewards.  But make no mistake, the auditory aspect of this ability is a necessary condition.
