# 🗣️ Colin Voice – Fine-tuned Piper TTS (en_GB)
|
| 10 |
+
|
| 11 |
+
This repository hosts a fine-tuned [Piper](https://github.com/rhasspy/piper) text-to-speech model based on the **English (GB)** voice from [`rhasspy/piper-checkpoints`](https://huggingface.co/rhasspy/piper-checkpoints).
|
| 12 |
+
It was adapted using ~300 high-quality recordings of my own voice to achieve a more **natural, expressive**, and **personally identifiable** British English tone.
