I was thinking about using one of this programs to create the voice for the Npcs. What do ya think? Can someone point me out to where can i find one of this sysytems or the name at the very least?

With it and some sounds recorded with the Mic and other downloads, I tend to have a nice compliment of sounds to add to just about every encounter. I did try the voice thing once using a free program called FUNNY VOICE http://www.download.com/Funny-Voice/3000-2133-8723947.html but aside from really sinister sounding creatures, it doesn't make yuo sound any differenet if what you are loking for is say... change your voice into a female. What I ended up doing is getting my kids involved and had them speak some lines which I then modulated to sound older or younger. If you got others willing to help out, then FUNNYVOICE would be good enough. Besides, it's rather funny! BTW ... check out the RPGSOUNDMIXER if you do end up using voice or other sounds. http://www.rpgsoundmixer.com/
