Title: Debbie/Susan's voice
Post by: MarkAndrew on May 13, 2008, 04:02:36 PM
Hello Friends,
  Just a gentle request to please fix Debbie/Susan/Disembabio's voice.  It's a bit discordanant, which may be perfectly appropriate for SAW, but still causes more pain than I like to pay for.  Whatever audio distortion that's being laid on needs to be altered.
  Now, I have to go wrap my ears in gauze, the bleeding isn't really stopping.

Sincerely,
MarkAndrew

Yeah there were a few times I cringed while doing my re-author.

Uh oh.  This doesn't sound promising.  Oh well, I would have bought it anyway.  LOL

Everyone complained about Dis at the start of Rifftrax too. Maybe you'll get used to it?

Eh. Debbie needs to speak a bit louder as I was losing her in the movie audio, but that's my only complaint.

It doesn't matter to me what the voice sounds like. Its only there to help with the syncing and personally, I delete the sync lines for re-authoring purposes.

The only thing I'd like to give feedback on, is that the sync lines are too close to when Kevin and/or Bill finish saying something. I remember we had a problem with this at first with disembaudio and they took it into consideration and fixed it. Maybe they could do the same for us with this new Presents stuff??

Please and thanks!

I'll second that. And I like the female voice. Who is that? I swear, I thought it was Mary Jo on the Star Trek present.

nah, female computers are hot.  It's the pitch of the distortion to her voice that make my ears bleed.

I think it didn't quite sound right on the Star Trek one.  Sounds kind of like they're using the same distortion settings for a different voice.  For this other voice, though, I think you should tweak the distortion a bit to fit the voice.

After all this buildup I was disappointed that it sounded fine to me.

I agree with those who said that Debbie's voice is too quiet.

Female computers are good for one thing...

Self-destruct countdowns in movies, and that's it!  8)

Yeah I thought it was too soft and not distinct enough.  I always sync up using the first sync line in the movie, cutting, pasting, and generating silences in Audacity.  I tried to do that this time, but Debbie's voice sounded like it was from the actual movie.  I kept listening to the Rifftrax waiting for the sync line (which I knew couldn't be more than 10 seconds away) but never heard it.  It wasn't until I turned the volume way up on the Saw audio track and heard that the "I don't know yet" line was from a male voice that I made the connection.

So the problem was a combination of 1) Debbie's voice sounds too human, like it could've come out of the movie track itself and 2) the first sync line was IMMEDIATELY after one of Bill's riffs.

Also, Debbie sounds like Julia Sweeney.

I can see it now... Mike and Julia Sweeney riff Jesus of Nazareth. Hilarity will ensue.
