AI voice and music: speech, voice cloning and songs

A black banner titled "AI voice and music" over the line "Speech, voice cloning, songs and dubbing".

This free course teaches four things you can make with AI audio. They are natural speech from text, a voice cloned with consent, a song from a style and lyrics, and a video dubbed into another language. It follows the vendors' own guides and the projects' model cards, and every lesson spells out the licenses and rules, then ends with a quiz.

What you'll be able to do

  • Turn text into speech with OpenAI's speech API or an open model, and direct its tone, pace and pronunciation.
  • Make a synthetic voice from a description or a consented recording, and know the rules that come with it.
  • Make a song in ACE-Step from a caption and tagged lyrics, repaint a weak section and read a model's license.
  • Dub a short video by transcribing, translating and speaking it, and check each step for mistakes.

Who it's for

For beginners who want to make speech, voices, songs or dubbed video with AI. You need no audio experience. Some steps run a command in a terminal, and the open models want a computer with a graphics card, which the lessons name where it matters.

Lessons

  1. 1Text to speech with AI: make a voice that sounds naturalMake AI speech from text with OpenAI's speech endpoint or Kokoro on your own computer, and direct tone, pace, accent and pronunciation.8 min
  2. 2Voice cloning with AI: how it works, what consent means and which models to useHow AI voice cloning works: describe a voice, clone one from a clip with OpenAI or open models, and what consent, licenses and watermarks require.10 min
  3. 3How to make an AI song: describe it, write the lyrics and know the rulesHow to make an AI song: write a style caption and tagged lyrics, edit a finished track, compare open models by license, and read the Suno and Udio timeline.9 min
  4. 4How to dub a video with AI: transcribe, translate, speak and sync the lipsHow to dub a video with AI: transcribe the speech, translate it, speak it in another language, sync the lips and check each step for mistakes.9 min

Frequently asked questions

Is this AI voice and music course free?

Yes. Every lesson is free to read. The hosted tools the lessons mention have their own plans, and the lessons point you to each tool's own page for what it allows.

Do I need to know how to code?

No, but some steps run a command in a terminal, and each lesson shows the command. The open models, such as ACE-Step and Kokoro, install through Python tools.

Can I clone any voice with AI?

No. For a recorded voice, OpenAI asks for a consent recording from the voice's owner, and its rules for described voices allow adult voices only. Its guides also ask you to tell listeners the speech is AI-generated. The second lesson sets out these rules.

Can I sell songs I make with AI?

That depends on the tool's license. ACE-Step 1.5's weights are MIT, MusicGen's are non-commercial, and YuE2 splits its terms by who you are. The third lesson compares them and lists the Suno and Udio lawsuits and deals.

What should I learn after this course?

Vibe coding is next, which means describing an app to an AI tool and checking what comes back. It builds a small web app in Lovable.
