I need some one to make glados say this quote:
"o no, the door is broken. it looks like you will be stuck in here for a while. This companion cube should keep you company. Be sure to euthenize it when the repairs are complete."
feel free to add in any of those wierd speach things she does.

I'll give it a shot here in a moment - I'm already recording some GLaDOS stuff.

Alright...here are three takes:

sleepwalker-ohno1.wav

sleepwalker-ohno2.wav

sleepwalker-ohno3.wav

Take your pick, mix-n-match, whatever.

Heh. I agree.

Now we'll just need you to record every word in the English language ...
Or start taking requests.

wow these are really great, thank you so much
(and yes i AM typing this at 4:30 in the morning)
if it's not too much to ask, id still like some more GLaDOS sound files:
"hey, where are you going with that cube, the proper euthenization proceeeeeeeeeedures have not been initiated yet."
"your not helping it you know, it is much happier here, now go back and follow the proper Apature Science weighted companion cube disposal procedure protocol."
in a tiny voice: "help me" "thank you" "pick me up" "dont leave me"
btw the second file was the best for GLaDOS.
+"you dont actually believe that your apature science weighted companion cube is capable of talking do you? thats just crazy."

Wheeeee!

Sure thing, I can do those.

I will use the second voice style. It's funny how that one sounds unprocessed.

Is the "tiny voice" GLaDOS the companion cube? :O
I can do the turret voice for "tiny voice" if that's what you're going for.

That's why I registered here. I'll start a new thread soon as a "PM me your glados voice requests" thread.

Can I ask, are you generating these all with text-to-speech plus sound effects, or is there some real voice work in there too? They are very good anyway.

post the tiny voice samples, pretty please.

And Sleepwalker, if you can make the companion cube talk, people will go crazy about it, you know it, I know it, we all do.

A TALKING COMPANION CUBE!

Damn, I thought of having a talking companion cube too. But Sleepwalker beat me to the punch. Oh well. Just know that another talking cube may come along later if I actually can get some maps done.

More on topic, those voices are excellent, Hamster. You realize you're going to be getting loads of requests because of this though.

It's all real voice work. I'm recording the vocals with a Samson C03U microphone, modifying the pitch and formants with Melodyne then EQing and compressing the vocals with Soundforge.

"Failed to load sound "sleepwalker-ohno2.wav", file probably missing from disk/repository"

And the door doesn't open.

Alright, I've got the voice samples:

sleepwalker-00.rar

That file contains the following:

\
01 - procedures.wav
02 - not helping.wav
03 - just crazy.wav
03 - just crazy (Alternate version).wav
\Cube Voice\
don't leave me 1.wav
don't leave me 2.wav
help me 1.wav
oww 1.wav
oww 2.wav
oww 3.wav
pick me up 1.wav
thank you 1.wav
thank you 2.wav

Let me know what you think and if they're usable.
**
EDIT:** Hah...I just noticed I forgot to say the, "that's just crazy" on 03 - just crazy.wav - but I did say it on the alternate version. If you like the first version better just paste the "that's just crazy" part onto it.
