@fastfinge I've started using eSpeak-ng. It's grating, but I can crank the speed up way higher than any other TTS I've ever used, especially the fancy AI shit that simulates breath draws and lip movement

@pixelate @PepperTheVixen If you give chatterbox-tts an ASMR recording to clone, you can absolutely get it to make lip smacking noises.

@pixelate @PepperTheVixen If you have a sample of someone talking while chewing gum, you can absolutely make that happen.
