there is too much of an accent, GLaDOS talks more monotone i guess. sounded like the voice from Command & Conquer or something

sounds a bit wierd still. voice is still high pitched. But then again, I guess you just have to experiment.

It doesn't sound high pitched at all. See? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgP4kT5-9Cc)

How is that an opinion? You don't control the cosmos, when last I checked. If that's an opinion, then I say a burning stick would be much colder than a soaking wet baseball. You can't say anything against it because it's my opinion.

Spazz, what in the shit?
It's not against the law to have an opinion about the opinions of others, however stupid you may find that to be..

for example, in my opinion, what you just said was completely retarded

Wow, you just don't quit, do you. If you actually look two posts up, you'd see what his "opinion" was.

He said the voice sounded high pitched, and all I did was post a link to a youtube video of actual game footage to show him that it wasn't high pitched at all because he may have forgotten how it sounded. So instead of replying with a normal answer, he throws the "I HAVE AN OPINION" card at me in a case that it is completely unnecessary in.

Why don't you people stop following behind me and documenting everything I say and then capitalizing on one part of my post to make it sound like I'm being a dogmatic until you actually see what I'm replying to in order to tell what my intentions were, asshole.

It seems you've missed the point my fine friend.
I'm not purposely trying to shadow you either, it's just when I see concentrated asshole all bundled up in one area I like to see what's going on.
Sure, you may have shown him a video demonstrating how it sounded to you, but the fact of the matter is that it's still his opinion, we're all entitled to them so get fucking used to it and try not to throw a hissy fit when you might actually end up being wrong.

Who was throwing a hissy fit? Stop blowing everything I say out of proportion. All asked was how saying something is high pitched as compared to how it really sounds is an opinion. Then I showed him how he sounded by throwing the opinion card around. Determining whether or not something is high pitched is just as much someone's opinion as saying whether or not concrete is softer than a down pillow.

You're the one missing the point here. And you're being a hypocrite in the process as well.

No, I'm not.

you're right, and I'm wrong, I'm sorry for my misinterpretation of your initial post, which I obviously took in the wrong direction.

True that. Sea cucumbers are the worst. Negotiating with them is the equivalent to selling your soul to the devil for a bag of cashews.

I think the one Jawz posted talking about how to do it in melodyne worked better. The finished product sounded exactly like GlaDoS.

Cool, maybe I can implement these in a map, or make a remix of Still Alive to make it more humorous.

GLaDOS's voice isn't machine made. They had the same person that does the TF2 announcer (and the Combine radio female, I think.) to do the voice, and then they enhanced it.

She did all the voice by herself. About the only thing that was enhanced was the echo levels.

Yeah, that's probably why OP's link doesn't sound as good. He pretty much took a text to speech voice and twisted it. It just sounds like a robot rather than GLaDOS. It's still a good effect if you want to make an animation with a robot in it create a robotic sample voice for a song, but not if you're specifically looking for GLaDOS.
