Can Synthesized Voices Effectively Emulate Human Voice-overs? #3

http://www.visualpurple.com. Tutorial on how to synchronize TTS to a human model exhibit. Borrowed from the VO elements originally presented in Part 1. Go to http://blog.visualpurple.com/2009/09/17/emulating-human-voiceovers-tts-voices... for a review of that presentation, as it helps you get the most from this article's tutorial.
Recall that the premise is that your projects budget can afford only one human voice-actor. So, youve recorded your one human voice actor doing each role of the entire cast. This video tutorial will show the techniques discussed in Part One. Learn how to sync synthetic voices to the phrasings and expressions of your human model. Disclaimer: these are helpful tips, but generalized. Not all editing tools or TTS engines respond to specific techniques that you might try in the very same way. Mainly, just try to grasp the concepts, then adapt your technique to idiosyncrasies of your chosen tools. But at least, with this video you can see that principle in action.
