Armin Ronacher details custom voice cloning with Qwen3-TTS
Overview
Armin Ronacher says Qwen3-TTS Base can clone a voice from about 28 seconds of audio and extract a roughly 2048-number speaker embedding.
According to Ronacher, feeding that embedding into the CustomVoice model lets the cloned voice follow instructions such as sad or whispering, though he reports the results are less stable than with the built-in speakers. He also describes mixing embeddings and shifting perceived gender by moving along an average female-minus-male direction. The report comes from a post shared on X by meng shao.
