Dimensional Voices

I am trying to make dimensional sounding voices. This is one I created myself. I have typed in words into a text to speech program and have applied audio effects to those words in creating this dimensional sounding speech.
 
The reason why I am making and showcasing these voices is because it's a part of the whole process of making music.  I plan on adding these dimensional sounding voices to compositions I plan on making.  I just needed to know if these dimensional sounding voices were good or not to you and others.  Do these dimensional sounding voices sound mediocre and like garbled mess?  Or do they sound like voices that convey superb and powerful personalities?  To me, they sound great and convey powerful personalities.  But I would like to hear your take on this.
 
When I listen to these voices, then regardless of what flaws and artifacts they might have, they still convey a powerful otherworldly dimensional personality to me and that is what matters here.  If something conveys a powerful personality such as something that is tragic, beautiful, joyful, etc., then that is all that is needed to make it a masterpiece.  The flaws and artifacts can be taken into consideration later on.  In the meantime, the powerful/magnificent personality itself needs to be showcased regardless of these flaws/artifacts.

Yes, that certainly sounds like some voices with effects applied. What's the purpose of the exercise?

To display his obsession with games?

I used to know a girl that hated my guts , so what I used to do was I would call her up on the phone and speak into my mic while running it into my pedal board.
I had  distortion mixed in with an octave lower sound mixed in with a deep flange running all that into a small speaker next to my phones talk section...
When I would call her up I would go Hello is Linda there ? using that sound she would freak ...

Your starting voices in your first vid sound like a good place to start for grins and giggles .
Even then it would still take a lot of work to even approach what people in that genre use for those type of sounds ..
IMHO , I think you took it way too far in your second vid ....
my 02 cents,

What went wrong in my altered version of that speech?  Could you explain why those dimensional sounding voices don't sound good to you at all?  What could I have done to make it sound right?

Are you serious ? If you are , fine , then I will state my case
 
The altered voices are way too garbled , they lack clarity , there are simply too many artifacts and they are not even being played within the context of the intended MEDIA ( gaming environment w sounds  )  they are there to support ...

Thanks for your input.  However, to me, they sound just fine.  But then again, my brain might have error correction features so that when I listen to something that has many flaws, my brain corrects those flaws.  So, from my perspective, I see something great and flawless.  But from your perspective and from the perspective of many others, they will see the flaws plain as day.

This.  You know what's best. :D:D

I'm not looking for flaws ...you asked a question in your own thread ..

What you pointed out is the very definition of flaws.  You said that there were many artifacts and that the voices sounded garbled and unclear.  I was pointing out that I lack the ability to see that perhaps due to the fact that my mind corrects those flaws so that I cannot see them.

IMHO , That's just the way The Brain works ...
FWIW, There is a popular cable TV show where your exact point is brought up in each and every episode

My comments were more directed at the only way to really know how your sounds are gonna gel or not gel would be to use them in a production where they are combined with all the missing production elements you would need in the first place to have a finished production ...
a still picture of a cartoon character w vocal sound effects does not make a full on multi media production

Fine.  Here is a voice alteration that I think is much better.  When I listen to these voices, then regardless of what flaws and artifacts they might have, they still convey a powerful otherworldly dimensional personality to me and that is what matters here.  If something conveys a powerful personality such as something that is tragic, beautiful, joyful, etc., then that is all that is needed to make it a masterpiece.  The flaws and artifacts can be taken into consideration later on.  In the meantime, the powerful/magnificent personality itself needs to be showcased regardless of these flaws/artifacts.

Hey Mario, I'm the guy that advised you to buy Music Creator 7 so you can start to learn to develop your compositional ideas. I appreciate what you are trying to do with your "dimensional voices". If you want my honest opinion I think you should back way off on the effects you are using as the voice is too garbled to understand. If you are trying to create a completely alien character who can't communicate with humans you might use this. I cannot detect any tragedy, joy, beauty, etc, because it is too distorted to recognize the words you are saying. So the "powerful/magnificent personality you are trying to project is lost because of the overuse of the effect. A good rule for using effects is "less is more".  Hope this helps,,,welcome back...Ron

Thank you.  I will take your advice.  Now, this is just my personal view, but the voices, to me, convey an awesome and powerful otherworldly dimensional personality.  They don't convey any tragedy or beauty; only the personality I've just described to you.  It's not about the words since they are random gibberish (reversed speech).  Rather, it is the personality that the voice itself conveys to me.

That's all that matters then, isn't it? No point asking us, just carry on if you're happy with the result.

James summarized it (while I took the long road to tipperary)  

So, why not just "BEHOLD" your self contained masterpiece?
Why do you need others opinions?
