Mastering Generative Voice AI From Tokens to Agentic TTS

Get Started

Generative voice AI has moved far beyond simple text-to-speech — and this course takes you from the physics of sound all the way to building production-grade, agentic voice systems.

Most TTS courses stop at basic vocoders or off-the-shelf APIs. This one goes deeper. You’ll start with the fundamentals of human speech — acoustics, phonetics, and prosody — before diving into the architectures actually powering today’s state-of-the-art voice models: self-supervised representation learning (wav2vec 2.0, HuBERT), neural audio codecs (EnCodec, SoundStream, DAC), and the tokenization strategies that let LLMs “speak.”

From there, you’ll master the two dominant modern paradigms — autoregressive codec-based TTS and latent diffusion / conditional flow matching — understanding exactly when and why each is used in real systems. You’ll also explore unified speech-text models, paralinguistic modeling (laughter, breathing, affect), and zero-shot voice cloning.
