---- Hi Sorry for replying so late to this message. I'm busy reading all my mails that I have kept from last year. My mailbox is not so big, I have only 20 mb and I don't have the time to read and respond to long threads of posts, as I have limited time at work to read and write private mails.. Phil, are you using eloquence for sarah or are you using sappi? I might be wrong, but as far as I understand sappi and elequoence is the only synthesizers used in games. For example, l-works uses eloquence in egg hunt and jim kitchen uses sappi. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 January 2006 05:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re:RE: audyssey: Sarah and the Castle of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hi Brandon I think everyone including myself would like to use human actors for the games but there are several problems with humans. 1. their voices change so they have to do many re-reads to get the same tone and pace. 2. Recording humans takes more editing than a synthesizer especially if the human isn't in a recording studio. I spent hours editing out cars and airplanes from my human voice recordings. 3. If you need a new sentence at midnight a synthesizer is right there to help. 4. Synthesizers cost less than humans. 5. synthesizer voices do not change so it will be the same today as it was ten years ago. When I was doing games with real human voices and I did eight games this way, it would take a week to do what I can do in an hour with a synthesizer. So to do what I did in Sarah would take an extra two years if using human voices. Or it would cost me lots of money hiring professional voices and a recording studio.
