need to remove transvestite sound from my voice

Wasn't he one of the flying warriors in Flash Gordon? He's the furry, powerful looking one?

<<<Thanks, here is an update of the correct file format>>>

I don't see any file at all. Preview your work to make sure it posted.

The Hollywood group really wants to hear this now. Part of the success of a theatrical presentation is not sounding like everyone else.

Yes. A couple of years ago he was guest host on UK's premier News Quiz ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5__VFxOI ... re=related

I wonder if the sound technician survived the experience (ouch!).

Still waiting for that sound clip.
Hint: We all frown on posting MP3 clips because of damage reasons, but you can use Audacity to post a FLAC file which has gentle compression, small file sizes, and no damage.

sorry about not posting back in awhile, but I took some time off, thinking about what I should do. I kind of figured that everyone's voice sounds terrible to them. However, when your voice does not sound too manly, it does not sound great in a tutorial. For instance, Howard Stern's voice is not the greatest voice, but it works because his voice does not sound like Michael Jackson. Although Michael Jackson's voice made him the king of Pop as a singer, could you imagine him as the narrator in a tutorial? People would laugh.

All I am looking for is to add a bit of male tone to my voice. Just try to imagine changing Michael Jackson's voice to be a bit deeper like Howard Stern. For now, unless someone else has an idea, I guess my best bet is to reroute my tutorials to work with a narrator who speaks after the video has been recorded. However, I am still opened for opinions or ideas.

We still don't work well in a vacuum and we're still waiting for that sound clip. Count to ten into the microphone or present four or five seconds of actual dialog. Export As FLAC. Post here using the Upload Attachment tool at the bottom of this page.

My bad, I just realized that the file never got imported into my post. I guess because I did not export it as a flac file? I know I included it but it is not there. Let me try this again, and this time I will import it here as a flac file.

Right away I hear severe sound distortion. Is this the video capture software? We use a similar screen capture software, only I don't think it creates that much damage. I'm hearing serious compression artifacts between your words -- that frying and bubbly sound, and your voice is artificially strained and squeezed by the compression.

There may be other problems, but lets get the basic sound channel working.

Without cranking through all the pages again, did you ever tell us what kind of microphone you're using and the type of computer? That sound clip wasn't a straight Audacity recording, was it?

Hi Koz, I think the sound distortion that you here is from a few things. Firstly, this was a direct recording into Audacity. Second, my microphone is a basic desktop microphone that sits on my desk, which yes I know, it is not the greatest way to do a recording. However, I am not 100% concerned about the quality of the microphone, since I see Audacity does a great job of removing background hiss noises, using the noise removal filter like I have done so. Also, I was thinking maybe it had to do with saving the file as a flac file. However, I opened the flac file and it sounded the same as after I had recorded my voice and applied a few filters, hoping it would remove the background noise and boost the volume of the recording. Also, for some reason, and maybe because I did the recording very fast, the recording also sounded like I was too far away from the microphone, so I tried boosting the volume by using the compressor filter, but this did also create a bit of distortion. In any event, other recordings did come out louder. So I am also not 100% concerned about that either. As for you getting sever distortion and cracking, I think basically this recording was just setup to quickly, since all I wanted too accomplish was for other people in here to hear how my voice sounds as oppose to the quality of the recording.

On the other hand, if there would be a way to fix my voice, and then other problems arise, then I will certainly asked them here later, since there are some filters that I do not know how to use anyway. But for now, if you can just get the point of how I speak, I hope that there would be something that we can do to fix it. Unless you think i should upload another, and better, recording without any filters.
