Nill on the somethingawful forums has made a pretty close sample, i'll dig it out later.

The easiest way is to use the AT&T crystal female voice and edit that sound sample.

edit:
sound sample 1

sound sample 2

I used AT&T Crystal. Microsoft Mary might work fine too, but you can get free samples of Crystal saying whatever you want from the Natural Voices site.
Then just boost the formant by ~150 cents and flatline the pitch modulation in your favorite pitch shifting program. You can finetune the pitch adjustments as needed, but the default output is generally ok.
I'm sure there are probably command-line tools for doing formulaic pitch adjustments but I can't say I know of any myself.


The game commentary says:
Quote:
pitch constraint, pitch modulation suppressed and the formant moved up

Basically, put the clip in Audacity or something, then pitch shift.

EDIT:

I achieved this with a pitch shift and a phaser effect:

(unedited)

Now I have to edit it. I wonder if Sone Vegas 7.0 will do the job.

I am trying to get it sound right in vegas, but since I know next to nothing about sound editing it's all trial and error.

The first one to achieve a good result has to write a tutorial on it for the wiki.

I have worked it out using the melodyne uno demo, sadly it chops up the audio and you can't save.

Then "acquire" the full version and try again.

Sorry, you'll have to get melodyne yourself. I'll show you what to do:

First, open your sound sample. Here I used the words "welcome to the aperture science enrichment center".
Image

Then use the pitch modulation tool. Hold your mouse button, its the second icon. Double click on the thin curve to flatten it.
Image

Should look like this now:
Image
(ignore that orange bar at the right side)

Now boost the formants by 150%. Do so by clicking with the formant tool on the horizontal bars and type 150 in the box at the top.
Image

Finally, adjust the individual pitch of the words by moving them up and down with the pitch tool.
Image

After that you are pretty much done.
Hope that helps!

segfautii, can I send you the raw sounds and you edit them for me? I'll give you full credit for them.

I don't have the full version, so sending me the raw files won't solve your problem.
The editing is so simple, if you have aquired the full version just look at the screen shots and listen to your track. It took less then 5 minutes to get the desired result in this example, and I used this software for the second time.

And pay 169 euros for custom sound in a map? Too much for me. I'll have to find someone else too who has experience in audio editing to make the sounds for me.

If someone here has "bought" it, please post your examples! I'd love to hear what you have come up with.

I'd be interested in some where I can acquire the full version of this program.
