Creation and application of audio avatars from human voices

A system for transforming a subject voice to a target voice, the system comprising:

• a slicing module configured to receive subject voice data and target voice data;
• a transform module configured to:
• generate a first plurality of slice patterns from the target voice data;
• and
• generate a second plurality of slice patterns from the subject voice data;
• a cluster module configured to:
• identify a plurality of slice groups, each slice group comprising a plurality of the first plurality of slice patterns from the target voice data;
• and
• generate a plurality of voice patterns, each voice pattern being generated from one of the plurality of slice groups;
• a substitution module configured to substitute one or more of the second plurality of slice patterns from the subject voice data with one of the plurality of voice patterns;
• and
• a generation module configured to:
• generate an audio signal from the voice patterns;
• and
• output the audio signal.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving subject voice data and target voice data;
• generating a first plurality of slice patterns from the target voice data;
• generating a second plurality of slice patterns from the subject voice data;
• identifying a plurality of slice groups, each slice group comprising a plurality of the first plurality of slice patterns from the target voice data;
• generating a plurality of voice patterns, each voice pattern being generated from one of the plurality of slice groups;
• substituting one or more of the second plurality of slice patterns from the subject voice data with one of the plurality of voice patterns;
• generating an audio signal from the voice patterns;
• and
• outputting the audio signal.
