a31ford Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Greetings All ! I'm looking for a voice file that would ask people that are watching the show to please pull over to the side of the road, and turn off their headlights (but leave their park lamps on so other cars can see them). I Can make the file, but have a somewhat gruff sounding voice (would most likely scare ppl away......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Audacity to change the speed of your voice a tad bit - you'll sound much less offensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Don't worry about a gruff voice. Headlight morons sometimes NEED something to scare them into thinking of others. The most effective headlights bumper I've ever used was one Kevin did for me using his Christmas Monster voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeERWNC Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I don't have a formal one, but I stick this in my show and it works well. "Psssst... Hey - you in the silver car... Turn off your headlights." Even if the people don't have a silver car, they think I am actually talking to them. When I come out with candy canes they apologize and I laugh and tell them that I am watching TV in the house not watching them.

dbltrukr1 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 You can get someone on https://www.fiverr.com/ to record voice files for you. I just use Audacity to make my voice sound like an elf.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Really, making your own announcement is probably not beyond your abilities. Audacity is free and contains more than you'll ever need for this hobby. Basically, you just need to speak clearly. Here's an intro I did a few years back. I recorded it in my normal voice at a normal conversation speed. Then I sped it up a bit and raised the pitch a bit. Just make sure when you finish it's understandable.
