This Week’s Overview; Borrowing the transcript from a Week 1 Sketch, we implemented it into ElevenLabs, a voice modulation and speech synthesizing AI to recreate an aural performance of the piece. Results below.

I’ll admit, I got a bit sidetracked playing around with the stability voice settings in class, trying to warp and scramble the synthesizer as far away from its original text as possible. To catalogue my findings, I gave ElevenLabs the quote of “You must excuse me, I had beans for lunch.” Using the instability around extraneous and frequent punctuation, I was able to emulate some truly inhuman sounds! Here’s one that sounds almost sounds Swedish, as per the voice’s description on the site. I added some gibberish into the mix amongst the excessive punctuation-warping which is quite noticeable, a test of how it would interact with it.

Another, the Australian narrator voice, James, sounds as if a Sorcerer possesses him to involuntarily cast an evil hex on himself;

Finally, Sam actually handles the instability well. This one was a test of how little it took for unnatural outcomes to occur. While most of it still sounds like him having a stroke, it’s still rather comparable to a video game/kids movie’s gibberish language, like Simlish or Italian;

Cool stuff. I am highly considering using this as grunts, SFX, and anything disturbing in future assignments and extracurricular projects!
