Welp, after messing around with a few voices I was completely impressed with Glados's. This is really cool because I have no idea how the character's voice was synthesized, but apparently ML can do it for me so props to that.

I'm pretty sure the real Glados voice effect is mostly pitch correction and formant shifting. You can do it with Melodyne at least (which, to be fair, is also computer magic-- just a different kind than this one!)

I just found a video on YT with an example of recreating this in Melodyne: https://youtu.be/1oQn66gvwKA

GLaDOS was voiced by a real person [0]. Her voice had some effects added but mostly just her trying to sound like a computer.

My favorite is Carl Butananadilewski, but I just ended up making him say actual phrases from ATHF in the end. Was hoping to see Meatwad as a character option.
