"Alipay to xx yuan", if you often use Alipay to settle accounts when shopping, you must be familiar with this soft female voice.
The girl who gave Alipay a voice these days suddenly became red!
Last Saturday, a post titled "I was caught by an electric eye lady at the annual meeting" became popular in Alibaba.com ... The electric eye lady in the post was the girl who voiced Alipay.
In fact, this sweet-looking girl has several unique skills, not only the designer of ants, but also the seiyuu of Alipay transfer. It is a veritable "obviously you can eat with your face value, but you have to rely on your talent."
The seiyuu behind Alipay transfer is a girl from Taiwan Province Province.
I am often teased by my colleagues to imitate Lin Chi-ling.
Last Friday, more than 40,000 Ali employees gathered in Huanglong Sports Center to attend Ali's biggest annual meeting. On the big screen of the annual meeting stage, the cameraman swept the face of a young girl several times. She holds high the sign "Ali is awesome", with long curly hair and charming big eyes.
After more than two years of preparation and expansion, Ant Financial has become a full-service financial group. At present, Ant Financial has been involved in many business fields, such as payment, micro-loan, fund, insurance, wealth management and credit investigation. It owns credit products such as Ant Flower Bai, Ant Borrowing Bai, Bank of Yi Jie, and Lucky for Everyone, among which Bank of Yi Jie and Lucky for Everyone have the largest number of users. This can be applied in Huixin, and the amount is higher than that of Huabai, ranging from 20,000 to 654.38+0.5 million. In addition, emerging Internet formats, including online merchant banks and sesame credit, have been in preparation and testing since the beginning of 20 15.
The next day, a popular post appeared on Ali's intranet. The engineer who posted the post said: "Looking at the big screen of the annual meeting, I was suddenly attracted by a little sister's electric eye ... Believe me, I am not alone! ! "
From last Saturday to today, this hot post continues to occupy the top three in Alibaba's intranet. In the comments below, many people directly refer to my sister as an online celebrity of Alipay, and some people left a message saying that they would take a group photo at Alipay Building.
Sister Hua Yan, a girl from Taiwan Province Province, formally joined Ant Financial Service after graduating from university last year. At present, she is the designer of the basic experience design group of Alipay Business Department of Ant Financial Service. Because he became a celebrity in the internal network overnight, the number of tags in Zhan Yan's personal tag system in Ali also exploded from a dozen to thirty or forty. For example, the label with the highest praise number is "I love Taiwan Province girls", and nearly 200 people like it. There are also some particularly interesting labels, such as "My brother is married and just comes to enjoy the beautiful scenery".
In addition to being a designer, Zhan Yan is also the "Royal" voice actor (that is, voice actor) of Alipay.
"It was a few months ago to dub Alipay. At that time, the main reason for deciding to use the voice function in the transfer was to facilitate merchants to collect money, and also to take into account the actual needs of visually impaired people. " Zhan Yan said that when visiting merchants to optimize products and designs, many merchants found that they didn't have time to look at their mobile phones when collecting accounts. "For example, pancake owners can't stop their work and look at their mobile phones."
Because the pronunciation of Taiwanese soft glutinous rice is very pleasant to hear, Zhan Yan has long been a voice "network celebrity" in Alipay. She often wears several hats, such as being the anchor guest in the live broadcast and the host guest at the annual meeting of the department. Often ridiculed by colleagues to imitate Lin Chi-ling, every imitation is always dumbfounded.
Therefore, almost no one objected. When Alipay decided to dub the transfer, it directly found the recording of Zhan Yan's trial. "I tried to record it several times, and everyone thought the tone and pronunciation were suitable. That's settled."
Zhan Yan said that although it was a short sentence, in order to make users feel more comfortable, the phonetic copy of the transfer was changed many times. For example, at first, Alipay was used to "receive the payment", and later it was changed to "receive the payment", and the sentence was shortened again and again. At present, Zhan Yan is also responsible for the dubbing of other Alipay voices.
"Now as long as there are some new scenes that need dubbing, they will all participate in the recording. Basically it will be recorded once every two weeks, once and a half hours. " Zhan Yan said.
Interestingly, sometimes when I have dinner with my colleagues and pay the bill, I am jokingly asked to remind my boss to collect the money with the same voice as Alipay, and sometimes I can be recognized by my boss.
Behind SIRI is an American aunt.
Dubbing artificial intelligence has become a hot profession.
In July 2005, a middle-aged American woman named Susan Bennett made intensive recording for more than one month, and then made additional recording for four months on 20 1 1 and 20 12 respectively. After the recording is completed, the technicians use the computer to extract the sound and rewrite it into new phrases and sentences. This is the process of the birth of Siri, the voice assistant of Apple iphone.
For a long time, Susan didn't realize that the voice on the mobile phone she used every day was herself, until one of her friends recognized her voice while playing iPhone.
If Susan was one of the first human beings to voice artificial intelligence, with the rise of artificial intelligence in recent years, seiyuu has become a hot profession.
In July this year, Ali smart speaker "Tmall Elf X 1" held a press conference at Beijing Time Museum. Prior to this, Ali Artificial Intelligence Lab sent a special invitation letter to the media: a black flat disk with the words "The future is coming" printed on it and a button installed. When pressed, it will send out a gentle female voice: "I am here, you say".
This girl carefully selected from 100 girls is called Yu Ying, and Yu Ying is also the voice actor of Tmall Elf. However, until the rehearsal of the Tmall Elf conference on July 4th, Yu Ying didn't know why he was dubbing. "I just feel like siri, a small secretary of Taobao, because there are words such as express information and weather query. At that time, I saw the words of Tmall Elf, but I didn't know what it was. "
?
In order to extract fragments from the original sound, a large amount of data needs to be synthesized by stitching algorithm. The voice recording time before and after the release of Tmall Elf lasted for two months, and by the beginning of August, more than 200,000 words had been recorded. The overall goal of Tmall Elf is to achieve 20,000 sentences and 300,000 words.
