Finetuning a Grad-TTS model on a small dataset?

[godspirit00]

Hi! Thanks for the great work!
I have a small dataset of ~2 hours.
How do I finetune a Grad-TTS model on it?
Thanks!

Hi, same question, is it possible?

Hi, @godspirit00, @Misterion777!
Yes, it is possible. You can either start from our checkpoint trained on LibriTTS and then fine-tune it on your voice (check #8 for more details), or train Grad-TTS on some large multi-speaker dataset (check #23 for details) and then fine-tune it. If your dataset is in English, then the first option may be the easiest (and around 10 minutes of the target voice will be perhaps enough). If the language is different, then the second may be better (i.e. you can find some large open-source dataset in this language, train Grad-TTS on it, and then fine-tune it on your target voice).
In any case, don't forget to use either the pre-trained universal HiFi-GAN vocoder or fine-tune it to your voice for better sound quality.
