Pretty interesting! I tried this both English -> French and French -> English.

English -> French seemed to work best, with the AI output have a very similar timbre to my real voice. Not hyperrealistic for me, but decent enough given I gave it a ~20s sample.

French -> English was less good in terms of the timbre and pitch of the voice---way higher than my real voice. It did have a bit of a Canadian accent, though, which is funny because I speak French with a Quebec accent. Maybe that's what I would sound like if I had a Canadian accent in English?

Funnily, I (native American English speaker who learned French in QC, and whose accent in French indicates this) tried it both ways. I think the accent is basically built in both ways, which makes sense, although it would be more interesting if it based your accent in the output off the phonology in the input.
