1. A computing system for generating image data representing a speaker's face, the computing system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions for generating a representation of a speaker based on a voice signal, the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configured to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
obtaining, from the voice signal, data representing one or more signal features of the voice signal;
associating a signal feature with a visual feature representing at least a portion of a physical appearance of a given speaker, the associating being based on a specified relationship between the visual feature included in the physical appearance of the given speaker and the signal feature;
reconstructing, based on the visual feature, a rendered representation of the speaker that approximates a real physical appearance of the speaker by including the visual feature;
based on the rendered representation and independent of an image representing the physical appearance of the speaker being provided to the one or more processors, generating a visual representation of at least a portion of the speaker.
