For Radiohead’s 1997 ‘Fitter Happier’, Thom Yorke used the MacInTalk speech engine’s ‘Fred’ voice to produce the vocals. We updated the vocals with ElevenLabs modern speech synthesis.<p>Here’s a link to the code.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Canonical-AI-Inc&#x2F;canonical-voiceover" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Canonical-AI-Inc&#x2F;canonical-voiceover</a>

I guess it&#x27;s okay(ish) marketing. It would have been better to hear them together, but it also misses the point and takes a piece of art and turns it into something bland and uninspiring.
