voices-sound on professional sites

[UncleGuito]

hey i was wondering if anyone here knows how professional websites and programs like winamp 3 get those neat voices saying their sites or products when u start them up. i kno it has to be a text- to -speech software but what to i kno.

[Soul]

Not true, I think they'll just hire a voice artist, text to speech programs never sound real :)

[Digitalosophy]

yeah i'd just talk into a mic, or get someoen with a nice wocie to do it for you

[Niann]

You could hire a voice talent. (Which can be costly...) Or get a mic, say what you want and play with the sound sample in the sound editor of your choice. =)

Cheers!

I have one problem though, everytime I say something, it always sounds mono-ish and faded out, anyway to fix that?

Get a good mic, and check your recording settings. =)

When I look at it I see the fire kinda like bouncing...
But when I look about 10cm/4inches away it's like a normal burning fire!

Quite right there but I have made a cbt package for national crime records bureau (Government of India) and used computer generated voice overs and they are very near to real, you just need softwares like goldwave, readmeplease, creative live sound card and the software they provide, rest ir ur hardwork and sound mixing abilities..

[Raydred]

My footer is weird hehe =)

I made it so simple... its cool how if you're not paying attention it looks pretty real, but you look at it, and it looks like a few stupid tweens hehe =)

Optical illusions rock =)


I'll try to have the voice ready for you soon, im stuck here at work (really late) working on this Major project.. so it might take a day or so =)

[mdipi]

also if you look jsut in front of it, it looks faster///
