Abstract

We examine the ethical questions surrounding voice donation for speech synthesis technology, including questions of voice ownership, identity and unintended consequences. This is examined specifically in the context of non-professional volunteer voice donors in small communities. We propose a multi-step informed consent process that more fully engages with TTS voice donors.
