## Cloning a voice with Coqui AI

1. Create an account on Coqui and get an api key from [account settings](https://app.coqui.ai/account).
2. [Clone a voice](https://docs.coqui.ai/reference/voices_clone_from_file_create) using a recording of length between 3 and 5 seconds. I used a `.wav` file.
3. [Create a sample of the cloned voice](https://docs.coqui.ai/reference/samples_create)
4. Store the sample and save the `voice_id` in your env variables as `COQUI_VOICE_ID`.
