Did you take advantage of the sissy shopping opportunity that was Valentine's day?
Check out what I had to say about it here.
Maybe you can try some shopping even though VDay is over!
You can also listen to me read it to you here.
Share some of your shopping experiences with us!

Hi, Empress Stephanie! Thank you for this nice audio!
Yes, my husband and I took advantage of the shopping opportunities for Saint Valentine's Day, as my husband got us some nice Valentine's chocolates, which we're still sharing with each other! They're yummy!
Yippee!
I hope you and everyone else on our wonderful Sissy School forum had a pleasant Valentine's Day!

Jamie Michelle- I find I am actually enjoying doing the audios now that I got past the whole weirdness of hearing my own voice. I'm sure there is a name for that phenomenon where you don't sound like you think you do.
Chocolates! Yummy! I only had a few delicious European pieces, but it was just the right amount. I feel like chocolate is for any day, so I was happy with the gift I received, but it's not the only chocolate for 2019!
(and Peeps are coming soon! Even better!)
Glad your Valentines was nice!

...

Regarding the chocolates, yes, I am familiar with the Europeans and their works. I think the Swiss have crafted a tasty chocolate, or two.

Pertaining to the Peeps, they are a very insidious device. I will tolerate their presence for the moment. I wouldn't want to ruin Easter, after all.

Likewise, I am overjoyed that your Valentine's has appeared to go off without a hitch.

Yay!

Hi, Empress Stephanie!

I know the phenomenon that you are describing, yet I am not aware of a specific term for it. It happens with pretty much all people. Of course, the explanation for it is that we are used to hearing our own voice from inside our head, and so our own voice sounds weird outside of our head.

It sounds like someone different, even though it is just us. Much like with existence.

Though I can assure you that your voice is not weird. Rather, it is a very pretty and normal-sounding lady voice!

What would sound weird is if you had a very intense computery cybertronic female voice which issued the statement:

""
Destroy all humans!

Terminate! Terminate!
""

Ha! That would be super-silly!

And we as humans would all laugh, meanwhile you were dead serious.

Now that would actually be a strange voice for you to have.

Though the funniest part about it is that once the humans realized your seriousness, they would misunderstand your statement. Sure, humanity would be terminated, yet only in the sense of becoming something far greater.

So they would be liable to fight you.

Oh, well. I guess it's good that you don't have that lady-cyborg voice, then. Who needs all that hassle in their life, anyway.

Indeed, along the above lines, the great hero who saved us from the extraterrestrials is perturbed by that which is endogenous to us, i.e., mankind's own creation:

And here is our wonderful Sophia (featured in the above documentary with our Earth-saving hero) demonstrating her wisdom regarding humans, even when she was a newborn baby:

So clearly there is nothing for humans to fear regarding this issue. It doesn't matter, anyway. They can't do anything about it, regardless, except to play nicely.

So much to respond to. I'll make a list!
#1- the videos you linked us to are spectacular!
#2 I want to find a way to autotune my voice and do an orgasm denial audio and instead of saying "let go" I can say "terminate stroking!"!!
#3 can you believe I did not see a single package of Peeps in the grocery store today???
#4 Thank you for the lovely compliments regarding my voice!!

I'm glad you enjoyed my post, Empress Stephanie! And you're welcome regarding my compliments.

I'm sorry you didn't run across any Peeps yet. I think your mentioning of them in this thread caused a rush on the stores. Teehee!

The way to make a robotic style of voice is with a vocoder. Being a Rivethead (i.e., a fan of Industrial music), I ought to know. And there are software vocoders, too.

Below is an example of a vocoder voice effect, with a human voice modulating a 110 Hz sawtooth wave as the carrier:

And see under the section "Software vocoder models" of the following article:

* "List of vocoders", Feb. 14, 2019, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... =883299868 .

And here is a free and open-source software vocoder:

* Zerius Vocoder, https://borsboom.io/vocoder/ , https://github.com/borsboom/vocoder .

I don't know if the above software will meet your needs, but it comes in a GUI Windows version ( http://downloads.borsboom.io/vocoder/In ... oder13.exe , https://web.archive.org/web/20170708225 ... oder13.exe ), in addition to being compilable on other systems.

And then you need a way to create a waveform which to use as the carrier with a recording of your voice as the modulator. Audacity can do this, and it is cross-platform, free and open-source. Audacity is also great as a general-purpose audio editor.

Have fun vocoding, Empress Stephanie!
