Meh, at least it's not a sound board and the visuals are kinda cool.

Nomad, you should do some voice ones with the visuals as well, shit talker is so 1997.

Or use the TI 99/4a speech synthesizer next time.

How much do people really fall for those computerized voices, or are they just being nice?

Nomad didn't create these, I did. He's just posted these, so thanks. I followed the link from the videos stats page. I love the PLA Podcast and the site BTW.

I enjoy using STalker, regardless of the comment that it's "SooOOOO 1997". Back to the Future is so 1988, yet I still enjoy watching it. So what.

You can still find joy using it, and you'll find that people are more patient and yet easily agitated when they think they're on the phone with a senior citizen who can't comprehend logic.

It's the most convincing voice on STalker by far. I have yet to prank someone and hear them remark "Oh. I'm talking to a computer. Stop calling!" And believe me, I've pranked way too many people as Mildred.

I'm working on some new pranks that I'll upload to my YouTube account soon.

The way to make TTS convincing is to fool the person into mistaking the fucked up voice for a regular person who you'd expect to have a fucked up voice, like here with the old lady, or if you got a really shitty one and called up a tobacco company.

Shit talker is great, the old lady voice is the only convincing one, I've pranked with her a million times.

A million times? You must be exaggerating.
