lol - slightly off topic ...but funny memory ...

there was another forum, that i 'care' about lol......it was a debate forum.....well one of my biggest, and of course most beloved adversaries of that forum got banned from another site .......the moderator of that forum had the courage to visit our 'un' moderated forum....considering how intense my debates got with my opposition on that forum, everyone's jaws dropped when I read that foreign administrator his rights for banning my debate opponent.... lmao.....unfortunately my opponent was so impressed, we hardly ever debated again, he grew to like me and didn't want to debate anymore....i say unfortunate because he was a brilliant adversary...( i still won, but at least he provided intellectual competition to sharpen my claws with lol )

I defend the rights of my opponents free speech, and well, mr foreign administrator would have been much safer and happier being banned from our forum, than the reading I gave him heh! :w00t:

"To define Tao is to defile it" - Lao Tzu

I agree with all of that.

I've done enough work using my own voice that it no longer sounds weird to listen to myself.  It's "just another voice" now.  I'm not saying I'm great at it, but it doesn't creep me out.

It's still hard, though, to do anything extreme.  Shouting, moaning or groaning, and extreme emotions are hard.  I still feel horribly self-conscious about stuff like that, especially if I'm not alone in the house.  I can "emote," but my range isn't that great.  I haven't done cartoon characters with weird voices.

I learned a number of years ago that the best solution is "go for it."  Don't hold back.  When you do something half-way, that's when you get the bad results.  But it's not always easy to put that into practice.

If I write a script that calls for my character to cry, then I will probably have to find someone else to do the voice acting.

The administrator has banned my IP Address.

I wonder why.  I don't remember pillaging his village.

Not a big fan of text to speech myself.

Audacity is great to use for recording, but if you have the time and patience, sometimes you have to be a bit assertive, I suggest scouting for voice actors.

I wrote this thread a while back about casting actors. You do have to be assertive, some will not turn in lines at all, but it will be a huge standout from text to speech.

If you need a young male actor, contact me- I have a nice microphone that rarely gets used.

Thanks Roberto.
I have been to that one several times and always seemed to get stuck with the part about talking to the computer.
I went back to it one more time and played with the speech rate and tone a little. I may be able to use it if I keep that up.
Thanks. And a big thanks to everyone who has stayed with me on this one. I may get through the trials yet. (If I can just get the videos back that I lost when I bought the new program.)
Ken:)

Hi Dennis, correct! :)

In fact I had to google to discover why on this earth my new PC had no input recording devices...
Quite tricky to have to right-click onto a blank area inside the dialog box... damned Miscrosoft... :hehe:

@Ken, another free TTS, which is not bad at all, is Balabolka:

I have been working on the voice thing and finishing up the movie to the part where the voices will begin.
I have also found out that after about 8 bottles of beer it really doesn't make any difference what my voice sounds like. I can't pay attention that long.... LOL
Actually, I am not drinking.
I do keep coming back to the Natural reader software but right now I don't have the $70 to buy the one that allows you to record the voices. I did manage to get it to sound a little better with some different punctuation.
I can see where this is going to be quite a long project. I have spent three days on the first 6 verses and still am not really satisfied with it. It is a different approach to the making or the movie though. Maybe this will be better.
Ken:)

if you have access to a mac, their default tts's are pretty nice - it actually made it to a few big dance songs, and radiohead did a track with it! ^.^
