Virtual Artist 'ray' from 'Shadow Virtual ShinoV' Project Released as Voice Library for VoiSona / VoiSona Talk

The educational IP project 'Shadow Virtual ShinoV,' which integrates AI, music, and digital art development led by 'Tokyo School of Music & Dance (TSM)' and 'Tokyo Design Technology Center (TECH.C.)' of Jikei Gakuen COM Group, has announced the release of virtual artist 'ray.' The CV for ray is provided by current students of TSM and TECH.C. high school courses, and the voice library is now available for the AI voice synthesis software 'VoiSona' and 'VoiSona Talk.'

The development of 'ray' was achieved through industry-academia collaboration with Techno-Speech, Inc. The AI was trained using voice data recorded by students, and students are also actively involved in planning and operating the character content.

Student Voices:
'I'm really glad I could challenge something new! I'm simply happy to have had such a valuable experience in my life. I'm looking forward to my voice being useful to someone!'
'I am happy to participate in such a wonderful production. It was my first experience having my voice turned into data for AI generation, and it was a dream-expanding experience.'
'This project using new AI technology was a precious opportunity to do things I can't experience in daily life. It was fun!'

'ray' has been introduced to the PC rooms of all affiliated schools nationwide, starting with TSM. In addition to being operated as a virtual artist by students, it is utilized in various practical IP projects aimed at nurturing next-generation creators.
