How To Become A Voice-Over Artist With Your PC If you’ve ever wanted to lend your voice to an advert, one of those telephony menus that are used when you call your utilities provider or perhaps appear in a video game, the best way of doing this is to become a voice-over artist. This isn’t a job that just anyone can do, but if you feel that you have the required qualities – a good voice, the ability to intone and pronounce words correctly – then you will be in with a good chance. Thanks to the Internet, voice artistry is one of those roles that have taken on a whole new shape, with many thousands of voices now available for use in games, on websites, as voice-overs in corporate videos and much more. You can start your voice-over career on a very low budget, too! Tools You Will Need
Thinkpad-acpi Thinkpad-specific ACPI driver This is a Linux ACPI driver for the ThinkPad laptops written by Borislav Deianov and Henrique de Moraes Holschuh. The driver replaces ibm-acpi in Linux mainline as of 2.6.22 (March 2007). To confuse matters further, it appears that there was also an older (now abandoned) driver of the same name written by Erik Rigtorp which never made it into the mainline kernel. The current thinkpad-acpi contains essentially the same functionality as ibm-acpi with some added features. Among which are registering of acpi events to the "thinkvantage" and volume/mute buttons which could previously only be accessed through the use of the tpb utility.

Sound Exposure : Definition, Terms, Units, Measurement - Acoustic Glossary The SI unit is Pa² s however the practical unit used in Noise Dosimeters (sound exposure meters) is Pa² h. For a given period of time, an increase of 10 dB(A) in Sound Pressure Level corresponds to a tenfold increase in EA. 1 Pa² h = 100 Dose% = 85 LAeq(8 h) = 85 dBA for 8 hours.
How To Create Your Own Vocal-Free Karaoke Tracks I’m sure you will agree with me that there’s nothing better for the spirit than karaoke.

Kokkini Zita - Linux Audio Libzita-resampler is a C++ library for resampling audio signals. It is designed to be used within a real-time processing context, to be fast, and to provide high-quality sample rate conversion. The library operates on signals represented in single-precision floating point format. For multichannel operation both the input and output signals are assumed to be stored as interleaved samples. The API allows a trade-off between quality and CPU load. For the latter a range of approximately 1:6 is available.
Frequency Weightings - A-Weighted, C-Weighted or Z-Weighted The human ear responds more to frequencies between 500 Hz and 8 kHz and is less sensitive to very low-pitch or high-pitch noises. The frequency weightings used in sound level meters are often related to the response of the human ear, to ensure that the meter is measuring pretty much what you actually hear. It is extremely important that sound level measurements are made using the correct frequency weighting - usually A-weighting. For example, measuring a tonal noise of around 31 Hz could result in a 40 dB error if using C-weighting instead of A-weighting. A Weighting The most common weighting that is used in noise measurement is A-Weighting.
Make Your Ringtone Awesome With Retro Videogame Sounds Is your ringtone boring, phone-like and stupid? Don’t be embarrassed – mine was too.

And don’t get me started about my text message ring – it’s the coin sound from that same game.
Open Source Replacements: Animation to Audio Mixing People are using digital devices to create and consume audio – and audio and video – more often than ever before.

For this list, we’ve focused on tools for animation, audio players, audio recorders and editors, audio conversion applications, and live audio mixing.
