Meaning you could get to sing in someone else’s voice - supercharging your karaoke game, say, by singing Bohemian Rhapsody as literally the voice of Freddie Mercury. But for what’s known as sing-to-sing voice conversion. And not just for talking about the weather or shooting the shit. Think of it as the audio equivalent of a Snapchat lens or TikTok’s viral teenage filter or Reface’s celebrity face-swaps.ĪI voice can even enable voice-shifting into another person’s (real) voice. And even the ability for users to ‘wear’ these voices in real-time - so they can speak with a voice that isn’t theirs. So where DSP technology was about applying effects to a person’s (real) voice, developments in artificial intelligence are enabling startups like Voicemod to offer tools to create entirely synthesized (unreal) voices. But the audio field is being charged by developments in AI - which Voicemod’s team is hoping will lead to whole new use-cases and many more users for its tools.

And gamers do remain its main user-base (for now). It will be in the format of Level 9 Shuttle 7.The first thing we ask Voicemod‘s CEO and co-founder, Jamie Bosch, when he picks up the phone to talk about a new funding round is not something we’re accustomed to asking - but our question may become the norm in the generative AI future that’s fast-flying at us: Is this your real voice?īosch’s startup has been fiddling with audio effects for almost a decade, playing in the field of digital signal processing (DSP) - where its early focus was on creating fun ‘sound emoji’ effects and reactions for gamers to spice up their voice chats.

You finishing score is the point when you miss 2 consecutive 2o metres.

You must wait for the beep before leaving the line and returning the 2o metres to the start point.Īs the test progresses the time given to cover the 20 metres decreases. The test involves running the 20 metre course and placing one of foot over the line. The sound track will inform you that the beep test is about to begin. After a light warm up, rest for 2-3 minutes before beginning the test. To perform the beep test you need to measure out a flat 20m course. The beep test contains 21 levels, each lasting 60-65 seconds in length. The test requires a sound track, which can be down loaded as an mp3 file, a smart phone app or purchased as the traditional tape or CD. Schools, work places, defence services and athletes regularly participate in the beep test. The Beep Test is the most used aerobic fitness test.
