The other day, I fired up Voicestars, curious to see if I could turn my shaky karaoke rendition of a pop hit into something Drake might nod along to. Spoiler: it’s pretty darn cool. The platform’s sleek interface welcomed me like a cozy studio, guiding me to upload my audio, pick an AI voice, and hit “Convert.” Within seconds, my vocals were cloaked in an AI Drake voice, layered over the original instrumental like a velvet curtain. The result? A cover that sounded eerily close to the real deal, though I noticed a slight digital hiccup on high notes. It’s like painting with sound — bold, creative, and a little messy at the edges.
Voicestars’ AI Voice Library is its crown jewel, packed with voices from Rihanna to J. Cole, even niche picks like a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.-style voice. The tech splits your audio using advanced vocal separation algorithms, applies the AI voice model, and reassembles it with surprising clarity. I tried the Billie Eilish model, and the breathy, haunting tone was spot-on, though my off-key singing didn’t do it justice. On X, users like @derekking have hyped the tool for creating ads with celebrity voices, and I get why — it’s a shortcut to polished content. The AI Voice Cloning feature, where you can train your own voice model, is locked to pricier plans, which stung a bit for my one-day experiment.
Compared to Voicemod, which is more about live voice tweaks for Discord chats, Voicestars is laser-focused on music. Murf excels at text-to-speech for podcasts but doesn’t touch song covers. Voicestars’ pricing, based on credits per conversion, feels fair but can creep up if you’re tweaking multiple tracks. I hit a snag when the site lagged during a second upload, echoing complaints I found on Reddit about occasional crashes. The affiliate program, offering 30% commissions, is a clever way to offset costs if you’re promoting it on socials.
What surprised me? The sheer fun of it. Hearing my voice as Ariana Grande was like stepping into a musical costume party. But the credit system feels like a leash — run out, and you’re stuck until you buy more. Data privacy is another question mark; they use secure cloud storage, but I’d double-check their policies before uploading sensitive tracks. My advice: start with a simple track, test a free voice model, and share your creation on TikTok to gauge the vibe before committing to a paid plan.
