Ok, I am going to reply to this again. Then someone else has to be the moderator! This is obviously a hot topic...

First, products:

AUDIO4FUN VoiceChanger program. I and two others in this thread have stated it is not worth the cost.

Garageband has been listed by two persons as a good tool. I will try the demo.

CoolEdit by Trillium, now owned by Adobe as Audition, has been listed as good, but costly. I will test the demo version.

Audacity, by SoundForge, is free. I am currently testing this product. I do need to know which VSP plugins are good for character voices.

MAC OS options, well I am a Wintel user so, no comment. However some of the previous products may have MAC versions.

Second, live talent.

One artist has provided several links to groups that will read scripts and send audio.

And no, I did not record my girlfriend's giggle fit. Sorry, I know that was a total opportunity lost, but their is a trust issue involved, you know?

Now, I do not intend to respond to this forum again. I will be contacting some of you individually with questions. However, thank you all for your support.

Domoo, Arigatoo gozaimashita!
