[Feedback] GLaDOS voice
I think I have pretty good GLaDOS voice down. I'm not using text to speech but actually recording the dialog myself and processing it with Melodyne and Soundforge.
UPDATE 1: Here's a newer example - I think it sounds better: 02_useless_button.mp3 ( I'm certain that button doesn't do anything, it's just there for decoration.)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's an example:
01_best.mp3 (Whoever said the best things in life are free, never had an Aperture Science Hand-Held Portal Device.)
There's a bit of plosive noise from that recording as I didn't have the pop-filter placed correctly but that has been corrected since.
I'll be making more tests tonight - so if you have any feedback for me on how to improve my GLaDOS-style, let me know. 
My current questions:
1. Am I headed in the right direction?
2. Does it sound better than the text-to-speech attempts?
3. Should I talk in a higher pitch/inflection?
Sounds good, but the inflection isn't quite right. I'm not sure exactly how.
But the sound itself is really close. Maybe a tad to "tinny"
Thanks for the feedback, Hober.
Another try, trying to add more roundness (femininity/cuteness?) and emotion to my voice. Kind of sounds like a turret. 
04_look_over_there.mp3 (Hey, look over there! It's your best friend the companion cube. Oh, nevermind, it was just a picture of a companion cube. Not your companion cube...You incinerated that one. )
It's fairly good, although a bit too tinny and a bit like coming through a telephone.
To me it sounds like your formants have been raised too high. It sounds more like the turrets than GLaDOS.
I think your first one sounds closest. Your technique seems very good, but you need to work on your pronunciation.
Listen, for example, to how you say the word "Portal" compared to how GLaDOS says it. You need to sound more British. Pronounce your T's more, etc.
This is one of the closest i've heard so far though. Nice work.
Wow. Just Wow.
Espen, You're a moderator. Show some more brains, and don't talk about pirating software on the board. If you're going to do anything that shouldn't be discussed, do it on instant messengers, or even PMs. I don't want to see this board shut down because people are idiots.
Putting something behind a spoiler tag doesn't stop anybody from realising what you're doing.
Actually, I've discussed this with msleeper. As long as it's not uploaded to the download database or directly linked to, he doesn't care. As of right now, discussing software piracy is not itself illegal.

Thanks, I'll try a more deliberate and British sound tonight. 
What I'm also going to do is listen to her commentary tracks to see how she sounds normally and try to imitate her that way.

Don't ask where to find illegal files. If you don't know how to get your hands on something, you shouldn't be asking for it in the first place.
I don't see any broken forum rules, do you?
EDIT What Hober said sums it up pretty good too, discussing pirated software isn't illegal and my host won't shut me down for it. Uploading it here, or giving links to some site that does have it is illegal however, and will be dealt with. But since nobody has done that, we're all cool like Fonzy right now.
