#VoCo. Adobe Audio Manipulator Sneak Peak with Jordan Peele | Adobe Creative Cloud

I really recommend the Adobe demonstration of their VoCo speech audio "photoshopping" because of Jordan Peele's reaction: [VIDEO] . More technology demos should have unscripted, sincere reactions like that.

The "Adobe Photoshop for voice" is quite amazing: [VIDEO] (you can skip the first ~third to get to the demo)

This site has a "demo" section featuring only Soundcloud clips. Uses to much the present tense "In a world first, Montreal-based startup Lyrebird today unveiled" and "Record 1 minute [...] and Lyrebird can [..]Use this key to generate anything" but has no actual product or beta version. Adobe had a much more impressive sneak peek of a similar product called VoCo: [VIDEO]

> and probably audio too I've grown to completely distrust audio recording ever since I found out about VoCo from Adobe[0]. I wonder how long until there's an open source alternative. [0] [VIDEO]

It's been 3 years since Adobe first showed off their voice impression and editing feature (unreleased): [VIDEO] Though this is very impressive, it seems to take longer and longer to make those tiny improvements that make all the difference wrt believability. N.B. The most convincing TTS I've ever heard (predating Lyre by quite a bit) generated things like this: [LINK]

Thinking ahead - will Hollywood in 50 years time be actor based or digital rights based when your film is computer rendered and you pick your own actors that get digitally placed. Effectively reducing actors to DLC! Remember, technology to fake voices has already be done. [VIDEO] Certainly interesting times ahead.

There's two ways to think of this as a deepfake: 1 - This is an actual video of the guy in his home, but they changed/synthesized the audio and then worked on the lip movements to make it match. 2 - This is a video of an actor impersonating the guy, possibly to the extent of impersonating his voice (although his timbre might make that a little tricky), and then they just deepfake the face on to the actor. An example of this is deeptomcruise on TikTok, something that you should treat yourself to if you haven't seen yet - [LINK] (first two today aren't great, here's a good one - [LINK] ? ) I'm not even convinced there's any alteration here, but even if there was both of the above could be possible. Adobe demoed something called VoCo in 2016 that never saw the light of day, not sure if there is something approximating this available today: [VIDEO]
