Claim 1:
2. A method to synthesize a voice in a target style, comprising:
receiving as input at least one waveform, each corresponding to an utterance in the target style;
extracting features of the at least one waveform and generating at least one embedding vector from the extracted features;
using a voice identification system on an embedding vector of the at least one embedding vector to generate a known embedding vector corresponding to a voice identified by the voice identification system as being a closest correspondence to the embedding vector;
designating the known embedding vector as an initial embedding vector for a speech synthesizer;
adapting the speech synthesizer based on the initial embedding vector; and synthesizing a voice in the target style with the adapted speech synthesizer.
