@Yepkoo , I feel your pain... truly.
For me ,the reality is this.
If some Client Hires me for a paid Commercial
animation project with Spoken Dialog
Then I will Fold in the cost of hiring professional voice talent
if they are not already providing it.
For "Galactus Rising" I spoke most of the Dialog with various Accents
( Welsh,Russian,Generic American), But it was such pain keeping track of it all with consistency.
I have "Morphvox Pro" and most of the processed voices are so badly
suppressed that trying to make them usable with post processing, is not worth the effort.
So for my current personal fan projects I used that registry hack to unlock dozens of the Microsoft voices beyond the two default ones,
and a free utility called "Balabolka Portable" that converts your typed text into speech and exports to a .wave file using the voices of your choice.
it even recognizes punctuation such as periods, commas and question marks
and changes the pitch and cadence slightly at the end of sentences.
Now are the voices
Robotic??. frankly yes
But I just remind people that If demand to hear professional voice work they should only be looking at Paid professional productions with budgets.
This clip was created only with "Balabolka Portable" and the unlocked Microsoft Voices.
it is what it is.
