Culturally Diverse Voices

Welcome to the forum @Payaso
Thanks for sharing your thoughts @jeffvpace
Yeah, cloning people’s voices or using celebrity voices directly isn’t generally supported in ChatGPT right now, since voice features are limited to approved built-in voices.
That said, you can guide ChatGPT toward certain speaking styles, dialects, or cultural tones through prompting. For example, you can ask it to:
* “Use a Mexican-American / Southwest Latino tone”
* “Reply in casual Chicano English”
* “Use Mexican Spanish slang naturally”
* “Sound warm, relaxed, and conversational”
It may not perfectly capture every regional nuance, but giving examples and specific direction can help a lot.
I still think having more culturally diverse built-in voices in the future would be awesome and would help more people feel represented and connected to the experience.
