My Midna voice acting

Attached are two files. "frog.wav" is the original recording. "newfrog.wav" is the recording slowed down slightly and with an increased pitch. The latter was used in a video:

It's the same video stream from "Midna says a bad word!" trimmed and with the audio replaced. The R rolling that is mandatory to faithfully recreate Midna's voice was pure luck. I recorded my sentence a few times until I had a good take (this is the only one that had the R rolling). "I don't look like a frog!" just seemed to be the best sentence to try, because Midna tends to "say" random things like that. Lastly, this may or may not be old news, but Midna actually speaks English:

What do you think?

I think the pitch increase was a bit overkill, and if you're making your voice a falsetto, it sort of makes it sound bad when you increase the pitch anyway. Try speaking the line regularly.

Also, being that she apparently speaks in Engrish (big surprise for me there. I actually didn't know that) I kind of doubt she rolls her Rs, unless you've got some examples?

She doesn't do it intentionally. It's sort of just the result of the echo effect applied to the voice and stuff by the game, as well as when she expresses strong emotion. I was trying to mimic that. I increased the pitch to make it be the same level as 3:22 here and other parts of the game:

Well, I'm saying you shouldn't have your voice high to begin with before you change the pitch, otherwise it sounds bad.

Nice, I always thought she was speaking in backwards English. I guess she does originally, if you unscrambled it.
