Sorry if this has been posted already. This is pretty cool. Just type what you want her to say in the box.

5. I AM that 'bot
for all intents and purposes. I do the computer voice for many companies. Her voice is actually quite good - could be a competitor if she hooks up w/ the right co's.

15. I did Top 40 in HS, and have just gone w/ the flow since
I have a voice that can be 18 yrs old to 50 yrs old. My vocal cords have blessed me with a job that allows me to set my own hours, and contracts.

But, in all honesty it is HARD work. 80% of the time, cannot record over 2 hrs at a stretch for most applications.

23. It takes practice - and a genetic component
Not easy or quick, but certainly do-able:-)

24. I bet
I remember one time when I was 12 or 13, a telemarketer called, is your mommy home sweetie, then two years later a friend of my dad's calls, hey dave you here, no this is John heh, it was funny. Ive done voices before but only temporary I can never master them, now accents I can do better.

25. Once at work I received a call that was a recorded man's voice
inquiring about my banking practices. I decided, since this was a tape recorder "talking" to me, that I would respond with a robot voice. I thought it was uncanny when, after I had answered a number of questions during the alloted pauses, the recorded man's voice said, "thank you for responding to this survey. By the way, you have a nice voice, for a HUMAN!"

(Another time I realized any response led to the next question, so I just made a different strange noise into the phone after each question asked..." bleep...squoink... rrrrr...arf...brrap", etc.)

12. cool
I have noticed sometimes it helps to break words up, like bull shit and dumb ass instead of bullshit and dumass. Yes, I had her talking about *.

13. Hey, you can make her into a transvestite
Edited on Tue Aug-17-04 02:10 AM by VoteDemocratic2004
Click on the German voice and then click on a male name and she speaks with a male voice. She also comes in handy for someone trying to learn another language.

Thank You I love it!

19. she's pretty good
but I think Audrey is the most accurate. I coaxed her into saying Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, all I had to do was break it into syllables, except fot the "docious" part. None of the others came across with it like she did.

22. I like her
Edited on Tue Aug-17-04 03:00 AM by GTRMAN
I made this blurb up for her.

" this is the bbc, london. President george bush resigned today amidst a scandal involving condoleeza rice, a case of vodka and a goat in a garter belt. the trio was discovered committing lewd acts in a nevada brothel. the goat is rumored to be the pet goat of "My Pet Goat" fame, but the rumors are still unconfirmed. All the goat had to say was "this is a baaaad situation." The former president could not be raised from his drunken stupor for comment. Ms. rice said her husband, uh, i mean the president may be available for comment later today.

28. here's another one, susan reads this well
this is abc news up to the minute. US Democratic presidential candidate john kerry apparently had enough of President Bush's shit and knocked his ass flat in a bar fight today. the president was transported to bethesda naval hospital with a broken jaw and a couple missing teeth. when asked to comment, all john kerry said was, "where is that son of a bitch rove,hiding out i suppose,well i have something for his ass too."

26. For some reason it doesn't work
but that's okay, 'cause I've had fun with this one:
http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/demos/
Sometimes my son and I do one, save a file, and play it from computer speaker to phone to leave a funny message on a friend's answering machine! You can do up to thirty words.
Maybe I'll record one for my answering machine. Who needs Carl Castle?
