We’re introducing Voice Control, a novel interpretability-based method that brings precise control to AI voice customization without the risks of voice cloning. Our tool gives developers control over 10 voice dimensions, labeled “masculine/feminine,” “assertiveness,” “buoyancy,” “confidence,” “enthusiasm,” “nasality,” “relaxedness,” “smoothness,” “tepidity,” and “tightness.” Unlike prompt-based approaches, Voice Control enables continuous adjustments along these dimensions, allowing for precise control and making voice modifications reproducible across sessions.
