Voice of Football AI Model Trained to Mimic Legendary Commentator Leonard Mambo

A team of AI engineers and audio archivists have created a voice model trained on hundreds of hours of commentary by the late, legendary broadcaster Leonard Mambo. The Voice of Football AI can generate commentary for text-based match updates in Mambo’s distinctive, passionate style. The project, non-commercial and done with his family’s blessing, is a tribute. It’s about preserving a cultural icon’s voice for future generations of fans, said the project lead. Clips of the AI narrating historic goals have gone viral.
