If you’ve used Kits AI anytime between 2023 and early 2025, you probably noticed one standout feature that kept creators coming back:
A wide variety of community-trained AI voices that users could browse, remix, and use freely in music or content production.
But by mid-2025, something changed.
The community voice library—once one of Kits AI’s most celebrated assets—suddenly disappeared. This left many users frustrated, confused, and asking the obvious:
“Why did Kits AI remove community voices?”
Was it legal pressure? Technical constraints? Or something else entirely?
In this article, we’ll break down exactly what happened, why Kits AI made this decision, and what it means for creators going forward. We’ll also include platform stats, real usage data, and answer the most common user questions.
What Were Kits AI’s Community Voices?
First, some context.
The community voices on Kits AI were AI-generated vocal models trained and uploaded by users. They allowed others to generate vocals or covers using AI versions of:
Real musicians (sometimes unlicensed)
Fictional characters
Personal voice clones
Genre-specific voice types (e.g., synthwave female, lofi male)
These models exploded in popularity for content creators, especially those on YouTube and TikTok looking to make viral AI covers or parodies. Some popular voices even gained thousands of uses and comments.
Why the Community Voice Feature Was So Popular
The kits ai community voices system became a creative sandbox. It let amateur producers experiment with wildly different vocal styles, explore AI remixing, and share models with others.
The feature was especially attractive because:
No training required — just pick a voice and generate
Most voices were free to use
Built-in discoverability (tags, trending voices, etc.)
Real-time creative experimentation
By early 2024, Kits AI had over 20,000 public community voice models, ranging from obscure anime voices to eerily accurate impersonations of major pop stars.
So Why Did Kits AI Remove Community Voices?
Let’s get into the core of the issue. The decision to remove community voices was multi-layered, driven by legal, ethical, and business concerns. Here’s what we know:
1. Intellectual Property (IP) & Legal Risk
The #1 reason Kits AI removed community voices was due to mounting copyright and IP concerns. Many of the models uploaded by users were trained on unlicensed, copyrighted voices, including:
Celebrity singers (e.g., Ariana Grande, Frank Ocean)
YouTube personalities
Fictional characters with voice actors
While Kits AI initially positioned itself as a platform for voice experimentation, the legal landscape shifted dramatically in 2024–2025.
By early 2025:
YouTube began auto-flagging AI voice covers trained on unlicensed models
Multiple record labels issued DMCA takedown notices to AI platforms
U.S. lawmakers introduced draft legislation around “synthetic voice likeness” protections
Rather than risk large-scale lawsuits (like the ones faced by Voicify and Uberduck), Kits AI preemptively removed all community-generated voices that hadn’t been legally verified.
“We’re committed to building ethical AI tools for musicians and creators. That means ensuring voice models meet commercial rights standards.”

2. Platform Moderation Challenges
With tens of thousands of community voices being uploaded, it became nearly impossible for Kits AI to moderate the quality and legality of every single model.
Some models:
Were poorly trained and produced garbled results
Contained offensive or explicit labels
Imitated real individuals without consent
Kits AI’s small moderation team couldn’t scale fast enough to keep up, and community reporting wasn’t effective. Rather than risk user harm or legal exposure, the team decided to pause and reassess the system entirely.
3. Strategic Shift Toward Professional Licensing
Kits AI has since pivoted toward working directly with professional vocalists, voice actors, and labels to build a smaller—but fully licensed—voice catalog.
As of August 2025, the platform offers:
60+ official voice models
Verified commercial licenses for usage in monetized content
Paid plans for custom voice training with terms of use enforcement
By removing community voices, Kits AI is aligning itself with long-term sustainability and industry partnerships, rather than the Wild West of unregulated AI cloning.
4. Improved Custom Voice Model Controls
Kits AI didn’t remove voice training entirely. In fact, they now allow users to train private, personal voice models—but only under strict terms:
Consent must be provided if cloning someone else's voice
Voices are not automatically shared with others
Commercial use is gated behind a Creator+ or Pro plan
This shift puts control back in the hands of the user and limits legal risk to the platform.
Real-World Data: How Big Was the Community Voice Feature?
Here’s what we know based on internal Kits AI updates and third-party analytics (via SimilarWeb and user forums):
20K+ public voice models before removal
5M+ AI covers generated using community voices (Jan 2024 – Mar 2025)
Top 10 voices were responsible for 50%+ of platform traffic
Community voice content generated over 2 billion views across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram
Despite being a user favorite, the risk and complexity became too great.
What Does This Mean for Creators?
While losing the community voice feature was disappointing, Kits AI’s current model still offers creative tools that are:
Legally safe for monetized content
High quality and consistently trained
Backed by real artists in many cases
Creators still have access to:
Licensed voice library
Custom training tools
Audio stem exports
Professional publishing workflows
The only major change? You can't publicly browse or remix random community-trained voices anymore.
FAQs About Kits AI Community Voices
Can I still access my old community voice models?
No. As of April 2025, Kits AI has removed all community voice models from public and private libraries. If you trained a voice, you can still re-train a private version under the new terms.
Will Kits AI ever bring community voices back?
Possibly. Kits AI has hinted at a “verified community voice” system—where users can upload voice models with proof of consent and clear licensing. But no timeline has been given yet.
Are other platforms still offering community voice libraries?
Some smaller platforms (e.g., Voicify, Fakeyou) still offer community voices—but they face similar legal risks and may not last long without licensing agreements.
Can I use Kits AI voices commercially now?
Yes, but only those from the official licensed catalog or models you personally trained with appropriate consent. Commercial usage requires a paid plan and compliance with their terms.
How do I train a voice model now?
Through Kits AI’s Creator Plan ($8/month) or Pro Plan ($24/month). You’ll upload 5–10 minutes of clean vocal audio, and your model will be available within 24–48 hours.
Final Thoughts: A Necessary Tradeoff?
The removal of kits ai community voices was frustrating, especially for power users and casual creators who loved the creative freedom.
But in hindsight, it was likely the only sustainable path forward.
By focusing on legally compliant tools, Kits AI is positioning itself to support serious creators long-term—and avoid the shutdowns or lawsuits that have plagued other AI voice platforms.
If you’re a creator looking to work with AI voices in 2025 and beyond, Kits AI remains a trustworthy choice—just with tighter boundaries than before.
