Voice Changer: Product Review
Restrained Mirth
by Tony Ertel
I am hardly an adept on whatever ane theme as well as I am non inwards the habit of sharing production reviews, but inwards today’s consumer-connected spider web globe I suppose I am every bit qualified every bit anyone to state my opinions. And if I were to consider myself qualified to critique anything, it would last something humor-related. I ane time said, “Now isn’t that funny?” to which someone replied, “yep.” What’s that tell ya? To me it’s a badge of confidence as well as courage every bit I motility frontward inwards the globe of humour as well as part my stories. And thence today I desire to do a brusk “product review” for an app to which I was of late introduced yesteryear some friends.
About ane calendar week ago, every bit I wiped the sleeps out of my eyes as well as checked my text messages, I was surprised to encounter that some friends had sent me a video. While I consider text messages from “old friends” to last treats, I shout upward videos are fifty-fifty to a greater extent than special. And thence I pressed the play push as well as watched.The message itself was nonsensical, but I certain got a goodness laugh. The comedic chemical ingredient of the video wasn’t a swell punch business at the destination of a joke that had me on the border of my spot or the fact that my friends were dressed every bit huge onions*, but that their voices were ridiculous as well as a fleck unnatural.
My start idea was that they were goofing off subsequently an Up party. It’s legitimate to shout upward that they were next upward the Disney/Pixar cinema yesteryear sippin’ on some helium as well as cutting a few videos every bit show of their goodness time. I realized however, that non many people genuinely shout upward of weird themed parties similar that as well as that they had likely figured out some other means to larn those squeaky voices. It didn’t stimulate got long for me to uncovering the Voice Changer Video Booth smart yell app as well as to shipping a video response to my pals dorsum inwards North Dakota. After some experimenting as well as a few failures**, I produced a string of Grammy character shorts of which I was quite proud (while a piddling embarrassed at the same time).
The Voice Changer Video Booth app allows users to customize videos amongst a multifariousness of styled phonation changers as well as speed-up as well as slow-down modes. This ane piddling app accomplished for the average Joe what it had taken me years of practise to perfect. With the uncomplicated click of a button, the squeaky squirrel phonation to which I had devoted years of study, became accessible to anyone. And beyond that, the unintelligible yell phonation from every cartoon or kid’s present e'er aired (whose undercover I had long sought after), amongst the right ready of inputs was made available through this novel app. In addition, I could conduct from such options every bit the demeanour (deep voice), the duck as well as the mouse (squeaky variations of the squirrel), the clown, the crowd, the megaphone, the scuba guy (garbled underwater sound), violin phonation (not certain who would e'er shout upward of that), the guitar (auto-tune), the robot, as well as the echo.
So taken yesteryear the many possibilities, I didn’t fifty-fifty stimulate got a infinitesimal to whine well-nigh the injustice of such technology changing the playing acre for “cool uncle” status***, though I did dedicate a few seconds of footage to that complaint. Really I was exactly excited for the novel toy.
So I desire to part a few of my video creations amongst you, hitting your funny bone, as well as hopefully larn those creative juices flowing thence that yous every bit good mightiness stimulate got a piddling fun amongst the app. The goodness affair is that this app doesn’t require users last every bit ridiculous every bit me. You tin dismiss larn yesteryear amongst alone beingness semi-silly as well as the app configurations volition do the residuum of the work. As I annoyingly wanted to brand to a greater extent than videos as well as contain my wife, she asked what she should say. I only told her to response to what I said as well as and then to “make funny noises” if she couldn’t shout upward of anything else. Despite my subpar directing, that brusk clip turned out to last ane of our favorites as well as a certain nominee for best script****. And if you
create upward one's hear to cinema your kids, well... they hardly demand to last fed whatever funny lines; it seems to come upward natural
to them.
Another swell characteristic of the app is that yous tin dismiss apply changes to videos which yous stimulate got recorded regularly. This is overnice for those individuals who tend to larn genuinely carried away. While it’s funny now, I stimulate got to tell that it would likely lose some lawsuit if all of your dwelling videos from Carly’s third to fourth birthday featured Bear Carly. That item combination could also stimulate got some pretty bizarre psychological repercussions for Carly every bit she witnesses a twelvemonth of her life replayed, but amongst a foreign drag-like manful someone voice. But hey! That’s an extreme. Just purpose the app moderately as well as your children volition last fine (wow, sorry, I didn’t hateful for that to larn thence weird). And finally, for my finally fleck of advice I desire to allow yous know that I had some difficulty amongst videos that were longer inwards length – I would endeavour to proceed them shorter than xxx seconds.
Beyond the fun of making the videos, I’ve gotten many goodness laughs inwards watching as well as re-watching amongst friends as well as family. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 twain particular views brought me to the betoken of tears. I promise as well as believe yous mightiness respect a few of mine funny too, but business office of the existent treasure of these videos is seeing someone yous know ridiculously transformed. So bask my piddling collection which I edited together for my editor’s sake, as well as and then stimulate got a shot at some of your own.
**My start video response elicited this reaction from my Bismarckian buddies: Scary! L:’-(.
***I don’t hateful this literally. The “cool uncle,” to me, is that guy who is exactly fun to hang exactly about amongst – the guy that kids shout upward is thence cool.
****You tin dismiss encounter this particular clip inwards the middle of the video mix posted hither on the page.
*****From the Editor: I could't larn the video into the postal service directly.... And the twenty-four hr menses is waning, thence click the link.
