Does Seth Macfarlane get half the profits? LOL just kidding?

Nicely put together Parker.

It used my own voice to do this, i tweaked it a lot with the pitch shifting in the auto recording window.
My voice is very strong so i placed the slider about 5 steps to the right.
Its the first time i use this new AS7 feature and i can say its great

it helped me alot, without it im not sure if i would have made this animation because i wouldnt have liked the character to have my real voice.

To be honest, I have AS 7 pro and was unaware of this function. I guess by habit I still use Audacity.

Can you tell me more about audacity please?
Is it good for modifying voices? and for free may be?

Many professionals use Audacity. It is indeed free and I use it for everything.

Many of your tutorials came out clear and I assumed you where using Audacity already.

Download it and record your voice and then start messing with the filters like speed, tempo, pitch etc.

I suggest using the beta version and if you need any tips on getting started with it let me know.

I use Camtasia 6 to make my videoturials, im proud of the video but not of the audio too much, it still can be better and i need a better micro.

Thank you so much for the info, can you recommend me any software to make music, may be audacity work for this as well?

Audacity would be for editing your music not for making it. I do not know of any free music makers but I use FL 9 Pro and GarageBand.

When I use Camtasia or their cheaper "snag it" for recording a tutorial I rip the audio from the video and run it through audacity for cleaning up and then I combine the video and audio in Sony Vegas.

If you look at my last video I uploaded to YT called "Dani's good by" She reorded it with a cell phone and the noise was so bad you couldn't hardly hear her. I ran It through Audacity and used noise removal filter and its a lot better.

Listening to the audio, I think a "speedy Gonzalez" type character would be more in character than Peter Griffin (hope you don't take this the wrong way -- I'm just a know-nothing Brit...!)

I agree, but i had no choice, i had to make the voice acting myself and i think my voice is too strong.

Well.....what I'm saying is, with this soundtrack, you could have come up with a different character than Peter Griffin. He doesn't fit with the audio...in my opinion! Want me to draw a Speedy Gonzalez character for you?

PARKER · Post by **PARKER** » Fri Feb 11, 2011 4:02 pm

I know.
I will be designing some characters by myself but thanks for the offering you are very kind.

Oh, Mexican stereotypic jokes! Being a latin american I love that kind of humor!
No, just kidding. I understand what you say, jahnocli, this video would be better with another character (not necessarily one which could be offensive for some us here).

Parker, about the video, I think it needs to be shorter and more dynamic. The character on center all the time is a little bit boring. You should cut in takes, play with close ups and another camera shots.
I think what Ramón did for his Lost Doodle Tool is very inspiring. It's fast, explicative and fun to see. Check it on youtube:

I had in mind to make some close ups but sadly i got busy with another important thing and i didnt have time to improve the animation either, thanks for the suggestions i will surely have them all in count when i make my next animation.

I *was* trying to make a valid point, but when you are in a hole, it's best to stop digging, so I'll shut up!
