“More expressive. More you”: Suno adds voice cloning in its v5.5 updateSuno v5.5 has arrived, with the AI music creation platform touting it as its “best and most expressive model yet”.
Front and centre among the new updates for Suno v5.5 is the addition of Voices, a new feature which enables users to clone their own voice and create new music with it. 
Available on Suno’s Pro and Premier tiers, Voices entails a verification process whereby the singing voice in your live-captured audio is matched to a random phrase Suno asks you to speak, after which you’re free to create.

Suno emphasises the importance of keeping each user’s uploaded Voice private: “Only you can use them to create new songs,” it says, also sharing future plans to “add voice sharing, but rooted in the principle that you stay in control of what you create”.
“The human voice is the oldest instrument we have,” Suno says. “Before notation, before strings, before drums carved from wood, there was the voice. Every culture on earth has used it to sing, celebrate, and tell stories across generations.
“The voice is the one instrument that every person carries with them, and yet most people never sing or share it with the world. With Suno, you can now capture your voice and create music with it.”
Also new to Suno v5.5 are two new ways aimed at making Suno “feel like yours”: Custom models and My Taste.

Custom Models let you tune the platform to the music you’ve created, meaning when you upload tracks from your original catalogue, it builds a personalised version of the model that knows your style. Similarly, Suno uses My Taste to learn the kind of music you’re drawn to over time, like your favourite genres and moods.
“From the beginning, we’ve built Suno around a simple belief: the best music starts with a human,” Suno explains. 
“Our tools exist to expand what people can create – to amplify the instinct, taste, and feeling that only a person brings to music. v5.5 is our deepest expression of that belief so far, a model that doesn’t just help create music, but fully reflects the person making it.
“This update also reflects something we’re seeing more and more: artists, producers, and music professionals are using Suno as part of their creative process. v5.5 was built with them in mind  because we believe the best version of Suno is one that works for anyone who makes music, from first-time creators to working professionals.
In November, Suno announced it had raised $250 million in its latest funding round, leading to a total valuation of $2.45 billion.
