You really have talent for this voice acting! Those sounds are very similar to the Brood-War ones, and some of them are even better. ( I enjoyed all the Protoss voices - I am a Protoss fan - )
How complicated is it to get protoss voice sound effects? Do you just run normal audio through a set of filters?
Yep. The Overmind & Abathur still need more fine-tuning though. Some voices are harder than others. I spent hours replicating the SC1 high templar & dark templar.
can you tell us what filters you used for the different voices. I'm specially interested in Abathur because it would be great as the voice assistant in Hive Keeper ;)
I've been messing around with synthesized voices. I found a program that tries to replicate human speech by changing the pitch/timbre of your voice. Here are my results with Mengsk, not too good as of yet: http://www.sclegacy.com/_staff/gradius/soundtest/mengskSynth.mp3
For some reason the program removes all frequencies above 7k and the sound gets butchered.

All these voices are variations on flanger, reverb, echo and EQ/compression/pitch. Only the dragoon uses the echo chamber effect.
I have created the following unit impersonations, taking inspiration from Blizzard's own. I am the voice actor unless otherwise specified.

Always good to see people still trying to voice act, even in this stagnant era.
As always, if you want any advice or help, let me know.
@Gradius12: Go
Thanks for these.
Also on mission 3 of your campaign - awesome job. Glad I'm not the only one working on a single-player campaign.

Oh my God please tell me you are making an Abathur campaign! Great job by the way. Can you make an Abathur voice?

Gradius! This is amazing!

Good job! :) and please do keep this up xD!

@Holyark
Thanks brother. I'll try to post updates in this thread.
It was already up. I moved it to the top of the list. x)
Yep. The Overmind & Abathur still need more fine-tuning though. Some voices are harder than others. I spent hours replicating the SC1 high templar & dark templar.
I have a bunch of questions.
1. How did you do the ghost and Protoss voices.
2. What do you use to edit your sounds.
3. You have some of if not the most accurate sounding Protoss voices.
Protoss, the order is roughly:
noise reduction -> pitch -> flanger -> reverb -> echo -> multiband compressor
Ghost was just a matter of copying the gas mask sounds from SC1.
Adobe Audition.
Yes, I hope. :P
Instead of working, I've decided to have more fun with Abathur! :D

Working is boring, anyways.
Some of those are really terrifying...
But isn't Adobe Audition too fat for that?
There needs to be an infested tychus campaign. :P
@Gradius12: Go
Well the unit does exist.
SCLegacy website is down for some time. Some of the links can't be played anymore T_T....
... or is it just my Internet region's fault?

The whole .org network is down. Russians probably pawned it off for quarters in the local market.

This is a few examples of synthesized computer voices. I think it could make a decent terran adjutant:

It's back. I offered the Russians five bucks for the server.

I've had the Overmind infest several random people:
