r/OneyPlays on Reddit: How in the hell does Christ do his robot/Microsoft Sam voice?
August 19, 2018 -

Edit: CHRIS. NOT CHRIST. How did I fuck that up.

Anyway I want to try and get it down pat myself because it's so damn funny. But it seems unfathomable how he can perfectly mimic a robot voice. I know because of the nature of this sub I'm probably only going to get funny non-serious answers but I genuinely like to know how he does it or if anybody has some idea of what his technique is?

But of course, he's always been a talented voice actor with great range, which I am not. Lol

SAM RECITER takes care of the rest. The program uses about 450 rules to convert English into S.A.M.'s phonetic language. Included among these rules are some stress markers for situations where the stress choice is unambiguous. In addition, S.A.M.'s usual punctuation rules still operate with some additional symbols ("!", ";", and ":") being considered as periods.
