anon6ymous1986 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hey,Im getting very "ask happy" at the moment lol, I have looked around, at text to speech applications over the internet, and nothing is really answering - Is there something available that I can customise a "you're in the mix with...." intro that I can save as an audio file? Text to speech software etc..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yizzle Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 chop it out of your mix with soundforge or something similar? save as an mp3 or wav and change it anyway you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russell Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Do you not have the option of recording yourself saying it? Either with a mic, a built-in mic on your laptop or even headphones if it came to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon6ymous1986 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'd really prefer not to lol, I hate my voice at the best of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 if you have software to edit it and apply effects then no-one will ever know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yizzle Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Soz mate. You can use a program like Cool Edit which is free.You can load your mix into that and cut out your intro from your mix and save it as a seperate file. that way you will have it to change and use. Cool Edit will also give you a huge range of effects and things to warp your sounds.I hope this helped a little more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to create a new intro audio file.i think thats whats happening anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon6ymous1986 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Yeah.. even with my own voice changed, I will personally know its my own voice, im not a fan of it, despite my profession. I will look into text/speech editors again I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either with a mic, a built-in mic on your laptop or even headphones if it came to it?*slaps forehead* i can be kinda useless i think what you said was spot on russell, because even if you dont like the sound of your voice (who does) you can tweak it so i will never sound like you, maybe even better Text to speech editors also sound very similar. So maybe weigh up the pros & cons of- you knowing its your voiceor- other people knowing where the sound came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russell Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 What is your profession, if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon6ymous1986 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I work for a large financial organisation mostly call centre work, but partially administration as well. A lot of my job is based on talking on the phone.Edit:: im not too fussed if the audience knows the voice comes from a known source (eg txt to speech editor), but yeah, pretty adamant my voice isn't going on there, maybe not until im "good" haha. Just to re-emphasise, this is only to kill time and muck around at the moment, at least while im learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yizzle Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 i bet if you work at a call center you got a radio voice but you hear diff like a skinny chick seeing a fat chick in the mirror [edit]: text-to-speech would be a good start. i never looked into it. there are some good freebies out there.

russell Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 you should have a look into what effects programs you can get for free (not sure if your willing to pay) and have a play around with them. Can really make your own voice sound very different from reality. Worth it just for the mucking about with effect bit regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon6ymous1986 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 haha! yeah, to be honest bro, I hate it.. When I was a kid I used to much around taping my voice, since I hate it.. but yeah, dont mind even if I get a free editor, but so long as its not that stantard robot from the windows application lol. Ill have a play around tonight I believe! edit:: Thanks Russell.. but yeah, no offense intended, but if *I* know its my voice, even if its warped enough to sound totrally different, I wont use it haha.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
