pat, didn't i see your hand shoot up for volunteers? wudnit be a fun collaboration project for all of us on this forum? you have a very fertile mind (don't dwell too long on that compliment). i can provide an audio file of me reciting the lyrics, then what? i don't own melodyne nor the disposable income to buy it. how much does it cost and are there any free or open source equivalent program(e)s available? you gave me many links to wave shaping applications but, alas, i can't get my head wrapped around them. remember, i'm terminally irish! there once was a time! but no longer, sadly.
