Don't worry, I'll get it... Maybe screaming at the top of my lungs for a few minutes will help. Yes

Try doing it in the morning when you wake up. I can almost always pull off much, much deeper voices at that time. Maybe it'll help you so you don't have to have a sore thoat?

Windows Sound Recorder should work just fine for the initial recording. Just make sure you use a very high rate, that way somebody with the capabilities to edit them, such as myself, have the maximum potential to work with.

I use Sony's Sound Forge 7.0 to edit and filter. The only problem I have right now is the microphone, which is a crappy little one built into my headset. I'm thinking of upgrading to a cheaper Condensor Shotgun mic. Nice. :yes:

Tying in with what others said, my first impression was that it sounded robotic and that the reason it sounded robotic was because of the rhytm in your speech pattern in that clip.

I think one of the most common mistakes when recording voices is having the microphone too close to the mouth, which often causes muffling. I don't know the technical reasons for the effect but I guess it's the soundwave caused by air moving from your mouth. If you keep the microphone at a good distance the soundwave should be inaudible, if indeed it is the soundwave that causes it.

Thanks for the tip, I wasn't really trying to record a good voice, just something that didn't sound too weird (which still happened). Anyway, I'll try what you suggest in the morning, not now because everyone's asleep and I don't want to wake anyone.

This better? Or worse?

BTW: No ZIP archives anymore?!?

I cannot play your .mp3. I'm not even sure if it loads up properly, but whatever the case, I can't hear it.

No, no .zips anymore. They don't compress as well as 7zips or .rar files.
Here is a list of filetypes you can use on the forums

Edit:
I tried opening the file in WMP, but it tells me I may need a codec.

Still a bit of muffling at the end, but your new clip is a considerable improvement. :goodjob:

I have?nt liestened to the files...

But for sound program, try Audacity, it?s free and awesome!!

It has a noise removal plug also that works very well to remove noise typically generated from pci-cards with onboard A-D. The noise thingy has to be used carefully though so as to not do funny things with the voice.

I?ll listen to the samples when I get home, anyway, audacity is twice the width of the universe diameter better than anything microsoft ever did. And the UI is very much layed up for voicing, it?s very handy to do lots of lines and retakes and is very smooth to work with. I recommend it to everyone.

Oh yeah, that's the program dad suggested and installed on my comp, though I have no idea how to use it, I forgot about that, thanks! =)

I heard ya

its good

couldn't the same be done with soundblaster or even the defualt sound recorder which comes with MS Windows ???

I've made several wav. files using both and they come out fine


A side note for Steve Evil Bob is only Evil for texture work, sound work is Glad Bob

Side note 2 I have 4 female children here that wouldn't mind doing voices if needed, my youngest daughter even has a hint of a English Accent... dont know how that happened, the milkman is hispanic

:lmao:

Well, I guess I will improve over time... hrug:
