VITS with AISHELL-3

This example contains code used to train a VITS model with AISHELL-3. The trained model can be used in Voice Cloning Task, We refer to the model structure of Transfer Learning from Speaker Verification to Multispeaker Text-To-Speech Synthesis. The general steps are as follows:

  1. Speaker Encoder: We use Speaker Verification to train a speaker encoder. Datasets used in this task are different from those used in VITS because the transcriptions are not needed, we use more datasets, refer to ge2e.
  2. Synthesizer and Vocoder: We use the trained speaker encoder to generate speaker embedding for each sentence in AISHELL-3. This embedding is an extra input of VITS which will be concated with encoder outputs. The vocoder is part of VITS due to its special structure.

Dataset

Download and Extract

Download AISHELL-3 from it's Official Website and extract it to ~/datasets. Then the dataset is in the directory ~/datasets/data_aishell3.

Get MFA Result and Extract

We use MFA2.x to get phonemes for VITS, the durations of MFA are not needed here. You can download from here aishell3_alignment_tone.tar.gz, or train your MFA model reference to mfa example (use MFA1.x now) of our repo.

Pretrained GE2E Model

We use pretrained GE2E model to generate speaker embedding for each sentence.

Download pretrained GE2E model from here ge2e_ckpt_0.3.zip, and unzip it.

Get Started

Assume the path to the dataset is ~/datasets/data_aishell3. Assume the path to the MFA result of AISHELL-3 is ./aishell3_alignment_tone. Assume the path to the pretrained ge2e model is ./ge2e_ckpt_0.3.

Run the command below to

  1. source path.
  2. preprocess the dataset.
  3. train the model.
  4. synthesize waveform from metadata.jsonl.
  5. start a voice cloning inference.
./run.sh

You can choose a range of stages you want to run, or set stage equal to stop-stage to use only one stage, for example, running the following command will only preprocess the dataset.

./run.sh --stage 0 --stop-stage 0

Data Preprocessing

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/preprocess.sh ${conf_path} ${ge2e_ckpt_path}

When it is done. A dump folder is created in the current directory. The structure of the dump folder is listed below.

dump
├── dev
│   ├── norm
│   └── raw
├── embed
│   ├── SSB0005
│   ├── SSB0009
│   ├── ...
│   └── ...
├── phone_id_map.txt
├── speaker_id_map.txt
├── test
│   ├── norm
│   └── raw
└── train
    ├── feats_stats.npy
    ├── norm
    └── raw

The embed contains the generated speaker embedding for each sentence in AISHELL-3, which has the same file structure with wav files and the format is .npy.

The computing time of utterance embedding can be x hours.

The dataset is split into 3 parts, namely train, dev, and test, each of which contains a norm and raw subfolder. The raw folder contains wave and linear spectrogram of each utterance, while the norm folder contains normalized ones. The statistics used to normalize features are computed from the training set, which is located in dump/train/feats_stats.npy.

Also, there is a metadata.jsonl in each subfolder. It is a table-like file that contains phones, text_lengths, feats, feats_lengths, the path of linear spectrogram features, the path of raw waves, speaker, and the id of each utterance.

The preprocessing step is very similar to that one of vits, but there is one more ge2e/inference step here.

Model Training

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/train.sh ${conf_path} ${train_output_path}

The training step is very similar to that one of vits, but we should set --voice-cloning=True when calling ${BIN_DIR}/train.py.

Synthesizing

./local/synthesize.sh calls ${BIN_DIR}/synthesize.py, which can synthesize waveform from metadata.jsonl.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/synthesize.sh ${conf_path} ${train_output_path} ${ckpt_name}
usage: synthesize.py [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--ckpt CKPT]
                     [--phones_dict PHONES_DICT] [--speaker_dict SPEAKER_DICT]
                     [--voice-cloning VOICE_CLONING] [--ngpu NGPU]
                     [--test_metadata TEST_METADATA] [--output_dir OUTPUT_DIR]

Synthesize with VITS

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG       Config of VITS.
  --ckpt CKPT           Checkpoint file of VITS.
  --phones_dict PHONES_DICT
                        phone vocabulary file.
  --speaker_dict SPEAKER_DICT
                        speaker id map file.
  --voice-cloning VOICE_CLONING
                        whether training voice cloning model.
  --ngpu NGPU           if ngpu == 0, use cpu.
  --test_metadata TEST_METADATA
                        test metadata.
  --output_dir OUTPUT_DIR
                        output dir.

The synthesizing step is very similar to that one of vits, but we should set --voice-cloning=True when calling ${BIN_DIR}/../synthesize.py.

Voice Cloning

Assume there are some reference audios in ./ref_audio

ref_audio
├── 001238.wav
├── LJ015-0254.wav
└── audio_self_test.mp3

./local/voice_cloning.sh calls ${BIN_DIR}/voice_cloning.py

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/voice_cloning.sh ${conf_path} ${train_output_path} ${ckpt_name} ${ge2e_params_path} ${add_blank} ${ref_audio_dir}

If you want to convert a speaker audio file to refered speaker, run:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${gpus} ./local/voice_cloning.sh ${conf_path} ${train_output_path} ${ckpt_name} ${ge2e_params_path} ${add_blank} ${ref_audio_dir} ${src_audio_path}
