GLaDOS's litle drunk sister MS-DOS singing song...

[LucasJayLikesgaming]

Grammar police. it would be: My Computer and I

[max215001]

@LucasJayLikesgaming I was going to say that. Hmph... :)

[xtremesega1]

I actually like the off-beat-ness of it haha, it's pretty interesting

[MinusG]

errmm... what?

[MidnaLoveLinkforever]

;D I think Miriam is drunk.

[TheDemonXX9]

to me i think len just played portal =.=

[muyo1992]

Guys, it's Miriam .__. you can tell by looking at the screen.

Anyway, good job with the .vsq! Although the timing is slightly off ^^;;

[KnAtiOn12]

it sounds.... like lola? or Miriam?

[ColdRiceBall]

at 1:15....

"Meeeeeeee"

I'm sorry, but that's when I just lost it and cracked up.

I mean, great job on the video, but the voice makes me laugh because of the way it pronounces things. XD

[alextall95]

The theme of Jarret is a lot better without the voice... plz don't put the voice

[Zelda123aran]

She sounds like a posh english lady lol

[NYlatinothug]

lol i knew this was Vocaloid b4 i read the description. which Vocaloid r u using? sounds like Len

[OnePieceStrongWorld]

this computer is a lie

[MidnightDragon5]

I space out for a second and I hear something about jesus xD I realize it's the part "And Tore me to pieces" but I swear it sounded like something about Jesus

[MyCatEatsBrains]

This is great! I just got portal yesterday and I'm in testing chamber 18. lol I played it for like three hours.

[IvanSantos96]

@MyCatEatsBrains i finish the game in less than one hour :P

[MyCatEatsBrains]

@IvanSantos96

I've finished it twice now. :P

[KouYamiAura]

Summarizing a very long commentary that I almost posted, even knowing how old this video is (lol):

This wasn't great, but it had potential. Main issues are pitch bend and rhythm. Don't separate consecutive notes.

It was a nice start though.

[rossy791]

grezz that sounds awfull

[111vnderbnder111]

@rossy791 yeah. its funny

[MellofeverKrazy]

Is That Sweet ann ? Or Miram Or Prima I can't Tell T ^ T Oh well I lisen to The Japanesse Ones

[Zangoose000]

Ya know, this vocaloid sounds a lot like the original voice for this song.

[WTFsubzero]

nice!

how long did it take you to finish?

[Whogopenguin]

It sounds like my piano teacher.

[ASBusinessMagnet]

Both the title and the song make me laugh. :D 5/5

[novicechief]

good day mate im auzie glados complete all the chambahs and there will be a barbie.

[SiSenior333]

it sounds like a retarded robot! lmao!

[patrickvalk]

vocaloid : hatsune miku

[ShimaGenki]

No, there's NO WAY that's Miku. That's not even a Japanese Vocaloid.

However, I have no idea which voice this is... I don't know the other Vocaloids very well outside of the well-known ones. xD;;

[JohnBach]

It's Miriam. :)

[BlackitoOzora]

Nicely done.

[MysteryMusicMaker]

That's not bad. I'm interested to know more about a "software voice"!!!

- MMM

[vetterbr]

So google it.

[thizda]

sounds like a mac voice lol

[pi55takemovies]

MELODYNE! GET MELODYNE!!!!!

[Luigifan18]

SOOOOO off-key... -_-;

[maluquinho5]

its not off-key, lol

[Habbloxian]

@Luigifan18 Who cares? It's still Still Alive.

Also, use 1 "o", and don't capitalise the "o".

[ghostkiller123456789]

man that like the singer is on drug man

[Wolfgirl1515]

Do you have the original VSQ file still?

[JohnBach]

The version of Vocaloid I use saves to MIDI files with extended information stored in them. I might have the MIDI around somewhere.

[Writergal007]

which vocaloid did you use?

[5681825]

I cant her it.

[poemsbytom]

now that's neat my friend. Peace, Tom

[SATCo2003]

sounds like a dalek! lol gd tho

[MMadFun]

well pretty good

[x0xlilkrissyx0x]

the ending lyric went off track a bit, but very good otherwise

[JohnBach]

Thanks, Krissy. These experimentations are fun to do, even if they are a bit imperfect. :)

[DjEfex818]

just curious to know

how long it take u to do this?

(it was really god btw:))

[JohnBach]

Oh....I think around 4-6 hours. The hardest part was separating out the notes from the original track and converting them to midi. I used TS-AudioToMIDI to do that and then Cubasis as the Midi editor.

[KNO3CS]

Pretty Damned clever!

[JosephMca2008]

just stop trying... please, please! why do that to such a beuitiful song.

[JohnBach]

lol... technology is fickle. I might need a fancier program.

[BenignIndividual]

heh awesome

[j3ff1986]

good job man!

[politikallycorrect]

Lol~ it sounds like GLaDOS having a spaz attack at times! Nice idea though.

[LupoBro]

lol that sucked

[JohnBach]

Such are the limits of technology. Thanks for viewing :)

[CupcakeAndTea]

ahahah you wrote you did a portal cover and have to check it :)

the voice it funny :) made me laugh

[JohnBach]

Yeah, this is pretty much the way a computer sings without hollywood help :)

[jdjustice72]

cool idea John! I think fortunately it will be awhile before speech technology is adept enough to completely replace singers... I am impressed by the new 'voice' from Leopard on OS X (called 'Alex') -- that's the most natural voice I've ever heard... but it still is quite far from any real human.

Technology advances rapidly though -- so who knows?

There may not be a NEED for singers in 20 years -- but there will still be a desire from humans to listen to real human performances -- always.
