- sclarisse 3y ago… Now, that’s the one where they remix his narration on the show with his standup routines. It’s still mind blowing that they actually gave him the part to begin with. Same for Ringo.
- justinclift 3y agoThe Warhammer 40k stuff with David Attenborough seems pretty interesting too. eg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_XAhAfcTWs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_XAhAfcTWs
- shagie 3y agoThe creative / interesting part with the WH40k content is that you can't just take a chunk of text from some book and drop it into the voice synthesizer. In order to get the Attenborough feel, it is necessary to use the proper vocabulary and word order along with punctation hints for pausing and phrases. Without that work you get something closer to the Joe Rogan fake podcast where things just feel "off".
