History Main / SyntheticVoiceActor

* Everyone in ''Website/GoAnimate''.

** Everyone in ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysForgottenEvents'' except for Old Man Consequences.

** ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysOldMemories'' originally used text-to-speech voices for the characters until the season 3 episode "Divided Family" where the characters are now [[TheOtherDarrin voiced by content creators]].

** Creator/TheBBC originally considered doing this for the Daleks, but with 1963 technology, they could have done only 45 seconds of dialogue this way, so they used a human voices filtered through a ring modulator. It's actually pretty easy to duplicate the Dalek voices. Record your voice with Dalek speech-patterns, [[LoudnessWar over-amplify]] it to add clipping distortions (this step is the one people often forget or don't know about, including, occasionally, the actual BBC effects people), then run the results through a ring modulator plugin using 20-40Hz for the frequency of the modulation.
** The initial creepy [[AccentOnTheWrongSyllable sing-song voice]] of the Cybermen in "The Tenth Planet" was created by (human) voice actors imitating the glitchy speech cadences of the first ever 'singing' computer, IBM 704. The BBC did the Cyberman voices for most of the 1960s by having a human actor use an electrolarynx (an artificial throat-vibrating device for people who had lost their larynx to cancer or injury - they're rarely heard nowadays, but a prominent fictional user is Ned in ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''). The 2009 revival version of the Cybermen simply had an actor's voice run through a ring modulator with a different setting to what was used for the Daleks.
** The Daleks, also, do not have mechanical voices, only voices that ''sound'' mechanical. A truly mechanical voice would probably be one-note-just-like-this, but Daleks have a cadence to their voices, and they also go "EX-TER-MI-NATE! EX-TER-MI-''NAAAAATE!''" with each intonation rising in pitch and volume. They look like tin cans, but they have some powerful emotion inside them.

* ''WebAnimation/NothingForever'' uses this trope extensively for the voice of the cast, being completely AI-written via GPT-3 (later upgrading to GPT-4). The FollowTheLeader streams like ''Always Breaktime'' (which seeks out to create AI-generated slice of life High School anime episodes) also uses synthetic voices.

** ''WebAnimation/FiveNightsAtFreddysOldMemories originally used text-to-speech voices for the characters until the season 3 episode "Divided Family" where the characters are now [[TheOtherDarrin voiced by content creators]].

* Any fan work based off ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' that is made with [=SFM=] will tend to use text-to-speech voices for animatronics.

** Bert Gotrax, a foul-mouthed robot boy voiced by the Votrax SC-01 chip used in ''VideoGame/{{QBert}}''.

* They planned to do this to make the Voice of God in ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt'', but after discovering a lot of really good demonic voices they just [[TalkingToHimself used Val Kilmer for both Moses and God]]. The voices of the other actors are used quietly to provide a sort of echo.

* Music/BennyBenassi's "Satisfaction" uses [=MacinTalk=] for both its male and female vocals.

* ''Webvideo/{{Zerolenny}}'' Uses the "Daniel(UK)" TTS program for the voice of Robolenny.

* The title robot in ''WesternAnimation/WhateverHappenedToRobotJones'' originally used [=MacinTalk=] Junior, [[CharacterAsHimself credited as "Himself"]], but later switched to a modulated human's voice, and they even redubbed the earlier episodes with the real actor.

* The UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum has the ''Cheetah Sweet Talker'', of which those who own one would attest that it sound anything but sweet- its synthesis was even compared to the voice of a [[Series/DoctorWho Dalek]]. The Cheetah Sweet Talker also uses phoneme splicing, and at its heart is a General Instruments [=SP0256-AL2=] speech chip, the same chip used in the Intellivision Intellivoice module, the UsefulNotes/{{Odyssey2}} voice module and the UsefulNotes/ColorComputer Speech/Sound Cartridge.

* Respeecher was reused in ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' for Darth Vader, presumably due to Creator/JamesEarlJones, who was 91 years old during production, being too old to perform the character's menacing voice on his own [[note]]Jones' {{Role Reprise}}s as Vader in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' and ''Film/RogueOne'' sounded noticeably aged, and those instances were nearly a decade before production on ''Obi-Wan'' began. Even in Jones' non-''Star Wars'' roles, such as reprising Mufasa in ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019'', Jones' voice was much shakier and he was unable to emote like he used to.[[/note]]. It helps that Vader's voice is an in-universe example of this. Anakin's vocal cords were damaged by the hot gases on Mustafar, with the helmet enhancing his speech with a synthetic bass tone.

** Spencer [=AL2=], an EnergyBeing voiced by the [=SP0256=]-[=AL2=] chip used in a number of 80s kit speech synthesisers including the Intellivoice Intellovision attachment and the Magnavox Odyssey voice attachment.

** Most of the cast of [=SMG4=]'s spinoff series ''Machinima/GuardsNRetards'' uses a text-to-speech voice. The two main characters, Chris and Swagmaster, use Microsoft Mike and Sam, respectively.

* The eponymous characters and Cortana of ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief''.

* #1 in ''Machinima/TheGmodIdiotBox'' uses the voice of Microsoft Sam when he's seated in front of a computer.

* Gary [[spoiler:aka Gamma]], the AI/computer from ''Machinima/RedVsBlue''. He regularly appears as the announcer for the Red Vs. Blue theory discussion podcast, ''Let's Figure This Out Shizno''.

* ''WesternAnimation/LoveDeathAndRobots''' "Three Robots" has 11-45-G, voiced by a currently unknown text-to-speech program. Compared to most users of the trope who are voiced this way to seem cold and inhuman, 11-45-G's is used to provide contrast with a legitimate GenkiGirl JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality. It makes everything she says quite hilarious.

Popular application programs include Speechelo, Talkia and Typecast.ai, the last of which is browser-based and free to use on a limited basis. This trope may not apply to programs like [[http://screamingbee.com/ MorphVOX Pro]], which are merely voice changers.
