I want a better voice

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Some of you may know i do abit of music.
Since getting my hand-held recorder i've sampled anything thats of interest. But voices are awkward to get without me being covert.
Sometimes i'll record bits off the telly, but getting an original voice recording isa bugger.
I'm not upfront enough to cold-call members of public, which is a shame as we've got some good local accents.

So what i'm after are words..sentences..phrases all in your local tongue. If you want to embellish your accent then go with it.
Swear words are fine but i'll be limited where to use them.
Poems are ok, but i reserve the right to chop them up and generally fuck with them
Saying that i have used the Lords Prayer albeit spoken in Cherokee.

Any format and quality will do. Even if its just the audio from a blank video etc

You can post them here if they are very small.

Much appreciated.

Here's something i did that includes recordings of me sat on a hill watching a plane fly over..Thunderstorm recorded Nr Newtown in Wales.
And a great American voice talking about the Fairlight sampler (1980s)
Me splashing in bath
My dog growling and some road rumbles.
I apologise for the swanny whistle outro

Although whenever I hear it, I do wish she'd blow her nose.

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Thats all well and good. But its not putting samples on the table is it.

A Plee :
I understand its not an easy thing to do. A pic of your bike/dog/Ex wouldn't be problem. But your own voice is very personal innit.
Most of us dislike the sound of our own voice, thats why i said feel free to embelish your accent, act it up abit if you're shy. Try shouting from a distance to whatever it is you're using to record. Whispers up close can work well.

I'm sure there is someone with a thick southern accent who can say the immortal words 'Punch her in the tits and do her up the garry'

Please no karma just voices.
You will never know how much this fuels my inspiration. (abit ghey sounding..but honest...Ahh i've done it again)

I love the 'Howling Terror' story.
Wonder what the reaction would've been if they'd tried it up in Scotland. (found it and smashed it?)

Ok BCF you're either meh about this or shy whatever.
Its important for me to get original voice samples. Ripping stuff from films and every other media is too easy. I can get CD samples from top film librarys, but that isn't me.

I jotted some stuff:

Allow yourself the priviledge of spontaneity

Loved by a stranger, liked by a friend

Free existence was given

I have pages of this drivel

I want your drivel

Thanks

Wait, what do you actually want?

Spelling it out for us simpletons would be beneficial in your quest.

In the intro of your song, where do the words come from, and who speaks them?
They feature at the start of Lee Perry's 'Caveman Skank', and i've wondered about it for a while now.....

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

I got it from Cherokee nation website awhile back.
Not sure if it is spoken by a Red Indian...or even if it is the lords prayer yer can't trust then injuns.

Hey thanks BCF..i'm totally inundated with mp3s wavs and video.
Good job i wasn't asking for advice on relationships or engine rebuilds i would of gotten absolutely zilch...YOU SPINELESS APATHETIC TOSSERS.
Some of you spend ages researching the ins and outs of tyre choice for a particular bike...for strangers You'll got to great lengths to modify a picture that will be looked at 100times and forgotten.

All i'm asking for is your Soul and the chance to shag yer Mum.

You'll upload really really crap videos to youtube.
You'll upload your crap taste in music.
You'll even tell me what you're fuckin' having for your tea.

Send me your VOICES you TWAAAAATS.

That was nice, lovely melody, but the voice samples other than "musical intruments can be prerecorded..." one seemed to be too prominent IMO.

Still, better than I can do!

May do some clips for you, why not eh?

[Dr. DaveJPS]

dare i ask who else has listened to my horrific voice?

You want accents and dialect and stuff. I have to explain what I'm saying to people that live here let alone strangers on the internet.

People will not perform for me

Have you heard Steve Reich's "Different Trains"? It's an amazing piece of music inspired by interviews with holocaust survivors and other people alive at the same time talking about trains.

He used the natural rhythm of the spoken phrases and words to build up the music and make it sound like trains moving into and out of phase.

I love it, it's a work of genius - and hopefully will inspire you a bit

Also makes me think of Dark Side of the Moon

Ta Annabella. Not my thing, but things that aren't my thing sometimes do become my thing.

Well for a brave bunch of bikers you sure were cissy when it came to sending me stuff
Probably a good job, otherwise i might of done a turgid instrumental with your voice used as an intro....Ta Dave JPS





For those that bother.
I used my Melody Maker into a delay.
An old Dunun played congo style and nailbrush on skin.
Cort Bass into an old cab i jammed with blankets. (DUB IT)
My trusty JM27 and RV4 mics
Judicial use of Ebow and tone/vol pots.
Vsynth GT for the spacey and raspy noises. Also used the vocoder.
Only compressed the drum.
Plate and spring reverbs used

Used my PC as a recorder playing each instrument in turn and using that 1 take to take me onwards...to who knows where with the next instrument.
Usually unlistenable to most.
But thats not why i do it.....bloody good job.


Dave will probably make out every word he spoke, but i like the fact it was a crappy recording...certain words poked out.
All i can say is life gets better Dave

Here's some angry scotsman for you.

I also did a youtube of me lighting my Borde bomb stove. I had no idea how broad my accent was until i listened to it.

It's in the public domain so feel free to use it.

when I figure out how to put my voice onto the computer I will do some thing for you as I have a very unusual voice as I have a double hare lip and cleft pallet

I hate listening to my voice on playback as it sound completely different to what I hear in my head
