Suggestions for Narration Editing -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Suggestions for Narration Editing Posted by: gplemos Date:3/15/2000 10:45:00 PM I'm working on a presentation that includes Narration through slides. I am recording the narrated segments in my voice. BUT.. I kind of don't want my voice to be recognized completely and want to use SF to do something to alter it. Maybe to something that fits the narration mode. Anyway I have played around with the settings and editing of my voice and have not really bee nsatisfied with my own results. Anyone have any suggestions for altering VOICE on sound forge? Bare with me, I'm new to this sound editing scene :-) George

You might not get the typical narrator voice, but at least it doesn't sound like yours anymore ;-) You could also try some heavy duty EQ-ing on your own voice, but I don't know if that will give satisfactory results...I've never tried such a thing before. george lemos wrote: >>I'm working on a presentation that includes Narration >>through slides.

If you want a really goofy effect, you could pitch shift yourself down using the Effects -> Pitch Shift option. Chorus may also throw some people off... Or maybe you could pitch shift yourself up and sound like a chipmunk! The possibilities of pitch shifting are endless, and fun too. :) george lemos wrote: >>I'm working on a presentation that includes Narration >>through slides.

I'm working on a presentation that includes Narration
through slides. I am recording the narrated segments in my
voice.

BUT.. I kind of don't want my voice to be recognized
completely and want to use SF to do something to alter it.
Maybe to something that fits the narration mode.

Anyway I have played around with the settings and editing
of my voice and have not really bee nsatisfied with my own
results.

Anyone have any suggestions for altering VOICE on sound
forge?

Bare with me, I'm new to this sound editing scene :-)

Here's a suggestion:

Let a neighbour or friend speak in the text. You might not get the
typical narrator voice, but at least it doesn't sound like yours
anymore ;-)

You could also try some heavy duty EQ-ing on your own voice, but I
don't know if that will give satisfactory results...I've never tried

Hey George!

If you want a really goofy effect, you could pitch shift yourself
down using the Effects -> Pitch Shift option.

Chorus may also throw some people off...

Or maybe you could pitch shift yourself up and sound like a chipmunk!

The possibilities of pitch shifting are endless, and fun too.
