Abstract
A method, computer system, and a computer program product for speech synthesis is provided. The present invention may include generating one or more final voiceprints. The present invention may include generating one or more voice clones based on the one or more final voiceprints. The present invention may include classifying the one or more voice clones into a grouping using a language model, wherein the language model is trained using manually classified uncloned voice samples. The present invention may include identifying a cluster within the grouping, wherein the cluster is identified by determining a difference between corresponding vectors of the one or more voice clones below a similarity threshold. The present invention may include generating a new archetypal voice by blending the one or more voice clones of the cluster where the difference between the corresponding vectors is below the similarity threshold.
