Ahaha! Thanks, buddy! I’m really glad it works!!!
I also play VaM only in VR. I use the desktop version mostly just for testing and debugging.
Yes, the character can answer with voice too. I can’t post links to external resources for downloading models here, but it’s pretty simple.
You need to download an XTTS voice model. It converts text into speech. After downloading it, you need to select it with the Browse button in VAMCompanion, as I showed in the instructions. Basically, you just specify the path to the folder where the model is located anywhere on your PC.
With the second Browse button, you need to select an audio file that the XTTS neural network will use as a voice reference for speaking the text. You can use any file that has a female voice speaking, or female moans during sex, and specify the path to that file.
But it is better if the file is at least 10 seconds long or more, otherwise XTTS can sometimes behave strangely and start slipping into a male voice or sounding hoarse. It also depends on the specific XTTS model you download.
Ask ChatGPT or any other AI something like: “Give me links where I can download a neural network XTTS for converting text into speech,” and it will most likely send you to the big resource where LM Studio itself downloads its models from)
