Name that robotic personality!

[Cymro]

Yes, that's right, name that robotic personality! A simple game for simple minds, as it were. Now, the rules are simple:[list type=decimal]
[*]The host disguises a politician or celebrity voice with a vocoder (more below)
[*]The result is uploaded here
[*]The others try and guess who that person is
[*]Whoever guesses right first wins a point, and gets to host a new round
[/list]Additional rules

• The voice clip that is disguised should be at least a sentence
• The vocoding will be done at a distance of 20 units, utilizing 30-40 vocoder bands with 80-100Hz radar needles, and no original audio or white noise should be present.

How to vocode
It is quite likely that you will require a vocoder set or a state of the art computer to perform the vocoding, such as this fine model here, which cost over a thousand pounds:

However, I have been told that you can also do it with an "IBM compatible" computer running the binary sequence known as Audacity Beta 1.3. A tutorial will eventually follow.

Wait, so I am supposed to know who is talking from all the robot sounds?

 

[Ursca]

I'm going to guess: Blony Tair, arch-fiend of old London town.
He sometimes goes by the alias of 'Tony Blair', a cunning spoonerism that is only fit to fool old ladies and brain-damaged children.

 

[Cymro]

Absolutely correct! Well done you. Now you may vocode your own personality, or, if you haven't got the thousand pounds necessary to get such equipment, I may vocode a voice sample that you provide via a private telecommunication.

Having obtained a short-term lease of my great uncle's vocoder, I have commenced the vocodificifactication process and bring you a choice piece of audio for your scrutiny and enjoyment:

Martin Luther King.

 

[Elenmmare]

Erm, this is just a googling contest, aye?

 

[Hersen]

Hey, I actually recognized the speech! We just did Martin Luther King's speeches in English today.

That could be read in two ways. I spent a few seconds scratching my head as I wondered how else you'd be reciting them.

 

[Ursca]

Martin Luther King.

You are indeed correct. Your turn to produce a vocodified audio transcribance.

 

[hayabusa12]

My recording device no longer works.

You can pass it on to the next person who got the right answer, I guess.

You can send a message regarding the person who you wish to be vocoded privately, and I can run it through the old Vocodomax E-Series for you.

Oh, I saw this thread, and thought it was about me. No I see it wasn't, and I am sad . Curse my robot heart!

[Weren]

I'm intrested

So anyone gonna host another one?

 

[Ghoura Agur]

Martin Luther King.

You are indeed correct. Your turn to produce a vocodified audio transcribance.

Martin Luther King, sir? 


Or Dr. Martin Luther King, JUNE-YAH!!! *cue dramatic music stab*
