Please enjoy this ridiculous little fever dream. I hyperfixated on this bad boy from last night until finishing it about 30 minutes ago. I go into more detail on how I create the voices and the background behind my passion project if you want to read it, it'll be under the cut.

So now, without further ado, SoutherFriedPixel Studios in association with Plumbob Pictures proudly Presents:
There's a wonderful video out there about the myths and misconceptions, one of those being that actresses and actors were taught to speak this way and that it was purely an accent for showbiz only. Katherine Hepburn is a great example.
Anyway, full disclosure here that the only way I could have made these voices for my characters was via text to speech models through an app online, I scoured the Prelinger Archives online for audio clips and videos to get ideas as well as the on-the-nose descriptions like, "30s female with husky voice, femme fatale, film noir, mysterious, heavy Transatlantic accent." There were some big flops and some big wins in my opinion, which ultimately led me to doing this little project which had been a brainchild of mine for about 3 months now.
My heart is so happy after listening to hours and hours of both real and emulated classic hollywood sounding voices.
