I'd think it would be nice to try to present you with the most plausible way to make a GLaDoS esque voice, as the terminology in the portal audio commentary used reffers to Melodyne functions.
If you have a voice that you recorded using a high quelity microphone (important, or else melodyne won't detect your voice pitch), it's very easy to make one yourself. But I use the natureal Ellen Mclain voice from the portal commentary.
At the end of the tutorial, I also show you how to make "sarcasm quotes" by glados with the last word "test" :)
I forgot to ad this to the totorial but you need to enable "expert tools" in the "view" menu to do the pitch modulation things etc!

I watched this video multiple times when I was a lot younger after I watched my dad play Portal and I really liked GLaDOS’s voice. I hadn’t played the game yet because I was too young but I’m glad I was able to find this video again. Brings back memories :’)

@candyanime2 15 лет назад

That is crazy awesome! It sounds just like GLaDOS in-game! It actually startled me, hearing GLaDOS's lines with no modification at all, you don't really think about how "inhuman" they make it. Note: I read that they trained Ellen to talk like GLaDOS by running the lines through a TTS program, as an example of how she needed to sound. Unrelated note about note: Anyone else want a GLaDOS-voice for a TTS program?

@CrowBag 4 года назад

Johann Immanuel speak british? You must be american dude? no one says that and you’ve just triggered each respective country with that one line lol. Speak with an english accent is what you say as britain contains england, scotland, wales and ireland. Its like me saying speak “new world” or “the americas” because you make it sound inclusive. Kinda like the way you worded it (if I were to say that about you guys) makes you include south america and canada too. Anyway that aside, he has a very southern accent, bit like the exaggerated sanford accent from hot fuzz. Mostly the farmers we all stereotype and deep southerners sound like this, so if any of you want to know just youtube southern english accents.

Hey, thanks so much for this! I managed to replicate GLaDOS with my own voice and the trial version of Melodyne, and it sounds great even though I'm a guy.

@CosmicD 7 лет назад

great that it works for you. ANd yeah, when you up the voice formant , the "childlike harmonics" you get in the voice timbre can always sound similar to glados, that's the trademark.

@yonathanlorenz6800 9 лет назад

The last word ,,test´´ i wouldnt do so

@CosmicD 9 лет назад

+Yonathan Lorenz That was an attemt to do "sarcasm quotes" I should have been making this more clear, that in some occesion they do it like that to emphasize "glados scarcasm quotes", but I know it's not like that in this particular case. BTW in portal 2, they loosen up several parts of the retention of "choosyness". Basicly what they do is the same as in this demo but then they re-add some of the modulation back to make her sound more "humanized".

@windowselectronic1016 8 лет назад

@CosmicD 12 лет назад

@NeriZinkower if it is called "singletrack" in the title after it started, it means it's not properly activated. You have to activate the trial online. Normally when it's started you're presented with an "activate"' dialog.

@ZeroIsMany 15 лет назад

I tried something like this with a piece of my own voice modified with added background sounds, Audacity and Mixcraft. This seems a lot easier as I spent about 8 hours doing it my way.

@sammisquigellz 13 лет назад

You hit this spot on. Kudos to you!

@Nessinian 15 лет назад

Technically yes, considering the fact that its a USB mic. However if we take into account that it was part of a packaged deal and thus most likely isn't a very high quality microphone, it would be safe to assume that Melodyne may have difficulties detecting the pitch frequencies required to properly edit any recordings made with the Rock Band mic.

@deadhawk1212 14 лет назад

OMG THIS WOULD BE GREAT IN A PORTAL PARODY!

@mushroomshrub 13 лет назад

It's so odd, hearing Ellen's voice slowly transforming into that of GLaDOS.

@CosmicD 13 лет назад

@sjmaco well glados is 30% old woman voice , 30% passive agressive tone and 40% melodyne processing, you could get away by using another voice that is younger for glados but at least a decent amount of percentage of these "ingredients" must be present to pass as "GLaDOS"

@xplinux22 13 лет назад

@DoNotHackMyAccount Nothing exists quite yet, though I am looking into it. If I were to design a GLaDOS voice changer, I'd write a program that can do the following: - Use a free/open source audio processing library to get the mic audio. - Constrain the voice's pitch. - Demodulate the voice. - Raise the formants of the voice. - And then output to the speakers. I haven't found a single C/C++ library that can take care of the formants or demodulation, but I'm still hopeful...

@CosmicD 16 лет назад

I already answered this but might be on another comment page. The software chooses which algorythm to use for processing based on the quality of the sample and the monotonicness. these need to be absolutely perfect for the "right" algorythm to be loaded, so use quality mic and quality recording.

@AutomaticRobo 14 лет назад

Bro im not going to lie...thats pretty cool... You could make GLaDOS say some awesome stuff with this

@DDofCourage 13 лет назад

@CosmicD 16 лет назад

She sings that song, but it's also being proccessed the same way, The notes are being detected by the software and "flattened" to be absolute. so the singing is into tune, without vibrato and without hooks.

@RyouConcord 16 лет назад

@CosmicD 15 лет назад

well that's where I know it from. But I didn't hear about melodyne at that time. I just got the clue when i tested a demo of melodyne and i saw these functions.

@dragonboyjgh 14 лет назад

@CosmicD even the trial version. it never runs out, and though it can't save, and you can just record it when it plays with audacity's wave out mode. If the beep gets in the middle, record it multiple times, re-record, line up the audio, and remove the beep. after all, the beep is in random places, the rest should be left untouched.

@Syn_Host 5 лет назад

it's part of the portal soundtrack

@CosmicD 16 лет назад

no, that has to do with quality of recording. You need to have a reasonbly good microphone, and also a recording of 44.1 k and 16 bits, if the sound quality is too low and theres too much background noise behind the voice or it isnt recorded by a microphone that records clear enough, melodyne will choose another type of algorythm suitable for harmonics and not for voices. So you have to pay attention to that

@beatledude64 16 лет назад

They did use Melodyne. I emailed the guy who gave his address in the commentary mode of Portal.

@MacheteToothpick 3 месяца назад

16 years and you only have 780 subs? Let's change that

@CosmicD 16 лет назад

nope, it's her, from the commentary, but it's about the method, you can just take your own voice sample and do it this way, ofcourse it's not about having the same "timbre" of voice, it's about the hookieness and the artificial formant :)

@texashorns76 14 лет назад

@firelord52 14 лет назад

@jordinyc 16 лет назад

WOW, so she was actually singing Still Alive? I thought she was singing all one single note and they bent the pitch up and down from note to note. But she was actually singing, they just did this to it. AWESOME! I always felt alittle weird knowing she's this operatic singer and had to sing a single note for 3 minutes. I mean isn't that how they did Moulin Rouge?

@Tronicate 7 лет назад

Thanks, but I've watched this before and it doesn't seem to me there's one for Atlas or P-body

@CosmicD 7 лет назад

doing P body fx is relatively easy, it's just that once again the easiest way is with a commercial software called soundforge. I don't see the neccesary effect in gold wave or audacity without having to download yet another plugin and insert it. Download a trial version of sound forge PRO (you need the extra effects, I don't know if they are in studio or the bj generator) here: www.magix-audio.com/au/sound-forge/ 1. Load up a wave file if you have one, one you want to test with, 2. ctrl A to select all of the file for editing 3. choose the "gapper/snipper" effect in the effects menu 4. freq to gap 125,0 5. length of one event 0,0050 6. fade edges 40% Then you can preview and tweak it to your liking. That already creates a convincing P body effect. You just have to pitch shift the voices a bit higher. Open pitch shift effect, 3 semitones higher, ok. You can do it in batch job creator, or fx chain but that's a bit advanced, it's when you want to do multiple files at once or do it live. Hope this helps.
