Sorry to be a pain again, but I've taken on board the suggestions made, I've time-stretched the 'Luke' and added more reverb. I think it sounds a bit better.......but please remember this is only a suggestion.....this is mixed down to 2track stereo, Ady would need to mix this himself for the 5:1 soundtrack.
Ady has mentioned that this clip needs to be croakier to blend in better, i think its that short and the croakiness of 'Skywalker' makes you think that its all croaky.
Better, but still not up to Adywan’s Revisited standards.
An expert in speech synthesis might be able to paste “Luke” together from phonemes in the original dialog: the L- from “Lord Vader,” the -ü- from “new” or “true,” and maybe the -k from “Skywalker.” I used to know somebody who might be qualified to do this properly. I am no longer in touch with him but think I know where I can reach him.
Before I bother him, it would help if I knew what other sources of dialog can be used. Are we limited to this conversation from the 2004 TESB, or can we use Emperor dialog from ROTS or ROTJ? I think it may be necessary to find the consonants combined with the given vowel phoneme. For example, it may not be possible to construct “Luke” using any of the k sounds from the TESB scene, but possible with a ük from Palpatine saying “Dooku” or “you killed her” in ROTS.
It would also help to know whether Adywan is interested in this approach; I’d hate for him to go to all that trouble at my request just for Ady to say, “Thanks but no thanks, I like ‘young.’”
Jaitea, you might want to take a crack at this by taking the ü from “true” and pasting it over the ü from the “Luke” you used in your video.
