I hope this is an acceptable place to pose this question; no other forum seemed more appropriate. that said:
does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for software or
other methods for improving the quality of recordings made
with voice synthesis? I should add that I mean *beyond* just
buying better voices. Thus, is there software that can help
make a synth voice sound more natural and human? Could there
be software designed for the voice, meaning the natural human
voice, that could be adapted to manipulate a synth voice? I presume
that there exist software for, say, singers (or actors) who want to
tweak their voice...but I haven't seen such.
note: perahps everyone else knows this, but the sound card in
your computer apparently doesn't affect the quality of the recording
(only the playback on your individual machine) so investing in a good
audio card isn't a solution (sadly).
any suggestions appreciated.
