thesurfingalien Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Hi All, This is completely off-topic, but I wonder if anyone here on CA knows about the existence of (preferably free) voice-morphing software. I have been searching for it extensively, but so far have not been able to find any. The reason for this is that I want to create dialogues for my own English classes. I tried voice generators, but they all fall short on intonation and clear pronunciation. Beside that, I want the speech-pattern to be consistent What I need is 8 distinctively different voices, preferably two young boys, two young girls, two adult women and two adult men. More would even be better for "guest-appearances". Edit: I forgot to mention it would be great if the software could take existing (pre-recorded) .WAV files as input. Thanks in advance!

SURE it is But I happen to make a living as teacher, trying to teach Brazilians English. It's a tough & dirty job, but someone has to do it “We are the Audiodrones.

tranz Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The obvious, but not free, choice is Antares Auto Tune suite. Cheers Link to comment
esldude Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Haven't used it, but maybe this would do what you wish. eSpeak: Speech Synthesizer It may not be clear enough. You also might look at yakitome https://www.yakitome.com/tts/text_to_speech/Welcome-to-YAKiToMe?b=551927 And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

Cheers This seems more like a tool to enhance vocal tracks for singing. Peter “We are the Audiodrones. Lower your skepticism and surrender your wallets. We will add your cash and savings to our own.
