GLaDOS Voice Tutorial

[combine_bob]

NOTE: The tutorial of how to make a GLaDOS style voice is located here.

After a few days of experimenting, I have got a system down where I can almost perfectly replicate the voice of GLaDOS from the game Portal. It involves the use of 5 programs, over the course of 5 minutes.

Here are some examples of my work:

That sounds really neat. Great JORB!

Wow, that's freaking sweet. I'll come up with a request in a bit!

Awesome job of duplicating the sound of GLaDOS. Would you please make an audio of GLaDOS saying the following:

"Thanks for making contact with the R.F. Justice League, an elite cadre of radio frequency crime fighters. We're not your classic super heroes, but we do consider ourselves above average! We strike down R.F. evil with the mighty sword of teamwork and the hammer of not bickering.

We teach each other to be better radio operators and crime fighters, but to learn our teachings we must first teach you how to learn. We care enough to transmit, because we know doing so will transmit out caring! And do not question our teachings, for he that questions training only trains himself in asking questions.

Our success relies in our working together like a wolf pack, not like a six pack. We've learned that to fight R.F. crime you must be ready to lash out with every limb, like the octopus that plays the drums. Of course you probably knew that, and you'd know that I knew you'd know I'd know you knew.

Regardless, we've got a blind date with Destiny -- and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.

The R.F. Justice League: Enforcing Ohms Law no matter what the resistance"

-Thank you.

Well Nkryptr, here it is. This one took a little more effort than usual because of the size, so please make sure to credit me. Thanks.

Ruby will not permit me to give you any rep (that seems to happen a lot... =/) but this is really some awesome work, BOB.

"Warning: Your evil shadow has a cup of tea. Pak chooie unf!" (It made sense at the time of the post, but by the time I visit again, I will have forgotten why, so don't ask.)

Combine Bob - I really like the Archive ones. Very nice work! I'm tempted to hook these up to a flash movie on the new user signup page +10

Remember, Archive Items always are a nice gift for your fellow Archiver

Haha, when I was making that, I had trouble getting one of my TTS programs to speak "Pak Chooie Unf!" correctly, so I retyped the whole message to say: "Warning, your evil shadow has a cup of tee. Pack, chewy, underwear football" I then cut out the rest of the word in underwear, and football. Kinda funny.

Thanks, and I like the sound of the whole sign-up page thing! You would probably want new messages, so if you decide to carry this out, make sure to ask!

Wow Combine bob,

This is by far the best glados voice imitation. awesome job, i'am really impressed. I've read a lot of tutorials for melodine or at&t's text to speech engine, but none of them have been this good.

I would almost die for a tutorial about this one. The other option would be you translating a whole bunch of text, but i still would prefer a good tutorial. Maybe you can think about it. Such a tutorial would be famous in almost no time, i bet.

Greetings the Deadeye
