My accent really irritates me sometimes – I sound so American. I’ve recently been playing around with making more videos and increasing my output as a filmmaker. One of my ideas was to take some of my old blog entries, turn the text to speech, add footage and make short films out of them. They could then act as vlogs too. I’ve done it a couple of times so far, and I’m quite happy with the results. To do it though, I needed an app which would allow me to input the text I wanted, for it to then turn into an mp3 for me to use in my filmmaking. Luckily I found a free one a couple of weeks ago and it worked fine; the problem was, the voice it uses has a very American accent. In the films I’ve so far made I sound like I’m from Alabama or Texas or somewhere. Not that there’s anything wrong with it – it’s very rich and deep, and reminds me of someone like Denzel Washington. I just wish I could sound a bit more British.
