I've been trying to put into words how to describe my inner voice for Bubbles

My own voice-over is a bit more mellow and huskier(?) without the metallic reverb.
Just thinking about it now but a squad mate with a metallic synth voice would be jarring in any stressful situation.
My own perception is that the voice would be closer to what is produced through the Vocaloid Software suite but using a Brunhilda template.
Now I imagine hearing Bubbles sing Die Walküre and putting those Scottish Pipers to shame. :-D

I generally "hear" a metallic timbre to the AI character's voices when I read, since they all use square dialogue boxes. Using oval boxes like the humans do would suggest they sound more human-like, to me anyway.
I guess the squadmates wold just have to get used to the "robot tmbre" by drilling and training together? Not sure. I agree on the opera thing though. :D

Funny, I've never heard them in a non-human voice.
Not even Pintsize, in the early days.
Heck, not even PT410X...
But some of them - the battle droids, for example - I do hear in that metallic, shouting tin-speaker tone. They seem more like smart weapons to me, less like a person. And that's the thing - even the little early models, they're not uncanny valley, but they act more like a person than machine.
Even Punchbot's manic laugh sounds human to me!
I'm gonnna go drink some more of the kool-ade, now. :-D

For me, Bubbles' voice is a mix of Cate Blanchett and Christine M. Auten ( red hair, dark skin ).

Pretty good, though I hadn't imagined a Caribbean(?) accent. Since she's a product of the USA's military-industrial complex, I'd imagined a "neutral" American accent selected for ease of comprehension over radios etc.

TBH I always thought Bubbles had some of the best Speech Synthesizers available. And depending on who she's talking to, she can switch from completely natural to Uncanny Valley at will, for intimitation purposes.
Now that I think of it she probably defaults to mostly natural, with a hint of robot, at least in my head. Nothing uncanny.
