Now, I’ve made the song<br>>> with DECtalk 4.6.2. I choose to make it with this version, because it sounds<br>>> so different from DECtalk 4.3, that I normaly use for my DECtalk songs.<br>>> Also, it’s tuned a little bit down from DECtalk 4.3, so it fits well with<br>>> the music. The voice it self is terrible however. First, for comparison,<br>>> here’s a link again to the old DECtalk 4.3<br>>> version:https://www.dropbox.com/s/xq61xpm3vfjo07b/DECtalk%20Sings%20-%20This%20Is%20My%20Life%20by%20Gasolin%27.wav?dl=1<br>>> And here’s a link to the new version with DECtalk<br>>> 4.6.2:https://www.dropbox.com/s/aydad81bea65n7z/DECtalk%204.6.2%20Sings%20-%20This%20Is%20My%20Life%20by%20Gasolin%27.wav?dl=1<br>>> I used the exact same text as for the 4.3 version, except i changed the ”l”,<br>>> phoneme to the ”ll”, phoneme. I look forward to hear your upinions. Best<br>>> regards:Aksel Christoffersen<br>> <br>> <br>> -- <br>> “Be what you are. This is the first step towards becoming better than you are.”<br>> – J. C.
