📋 About This Mod
Update: I've changed the primary male voice, and added new options. The focus was removing the heavily robotic sounds. It should be much better now.
For Voice Swaps 2 I've completely overhauled the process. 100% of character voice lines have been isolated using deterministic approaches. AI voice models have been rebuilt from the ground up, and are built by me to avoid any potential usage rights concern. Spell vocals have undergone special echo cancellation.
This mod is "Voice Swaps 2- Shadowheart" and it has the following options:
Male Human Shadowheart
Male Human Shadowheart Softer (DVRQ)
Female/Androgenous Alternate Shadowheart
Male Dwarven Shadowheart
Female Dwarven Shadowheart
Male Dragonborn/Orc/Gith Shadowheart
Female Dragonborn/Orc/Gith Shadowheart

You can support me on Patreon and participate in free polls for what I should work on next, if you'd like. But I promise nothing. Supporting me won't make me work more or faster. I'll be horrible about providing updates of any kind, and I will only accept poll results when I feel like it. Nevertheless, the option is there.
