Impressions

Make VoiceMode speak in any voice. The model takes a short reference clip and synthesises fresh speech in that voice via local Qwen3-TTS on top of mlx-audio.

Status: Preview / experimental. Apple Silicon only. Opt-in.

When to use this skill

• User asks for "voice cloning", "do an impression", "speak as X", "add my voice"
• A voice= argument in voicemode:converse doesn't match a known Kokoro voice
• User wants to install or troubleshoot the mlx-audio service
• User asks how to configure a remote mlx-audio server
