Hi Tyler,
Welcome to the list. I would like to hear your Dectalk creations, if you
upload them somewhere in the future. Just so you know, sometimes this list
is very active and other times not so much.  I hope that you enjoy your time
here.
Blake

Hello, everyone! I've been following Dectalk since June of 2011, but I
didn't hear about this list until today, from Snoopi Botten's people. In
June of 2011, one of my friends got a collection of files (all available on
dectalk.com archive site) from someone else. There were a few songs from
Blake Roberts and Snoopi Botten, but it was mostly comedy bits (from great
artists such as Patrick Perdue and Sean Randall). I follow Snoopi, Patrick
and Sean on Twitter; hope to find more of Sean's material that is not on
dectalk.com. And the rumor was, Patrick Perdue had a CD called Synths N
Stuff (to coincide with his radio talk show Things N Stuff). So, my friend
(who, I believe, is one of very few who visit
dectalk.com) got even more files. Eventually, I decided to go to the site
myself and start collecting. I have almost everything by Vocalwriter, a
decent-sized Snoopi Botten collection I got from theflameofhope.co, and
whatever else I stumble upon on the Dectalk website. 
In January 2012, I found Snoopi giving away a free demo copy of the Dectalk
for Windows package. Combined with the manuals I snuck for free through
dectalk.com (the minimanuals, they should be called; I believe the full
manual can be bought through Snoopi). I learned basic phonemics and
codewords, to make voices Paul and Betty have a peaceful conversation, and
have Kit interruptingly chime in, and have Harry steal Kit's root beer
float. Yes, I'm a PG rated version of Sean Randall; I tone it down even more
than Perdue does. No wav or
mp3 (or even Dectalk files) available, but I will probably upload stuff
someday.
