I saw an opera recently where the amplification was obvious, and it was very weird. I agree. I saw an opera recently where the amplification was obvious, and it was very weird.

Yeah. Truthfully, I've been pondering this a lot, lately, since I listen to hip-hop quite a bit...and I'm a bit scared about the possibility of having a day when needing to be able to carry a tune in a bucket is no longer a requirement for any "singer." Haha. I am also against amplification of the voice, in opera. That has been happening, too, and I think it's not being true to the art or the technique. Haha. Yeah.

For me, my favorite moment in the top clip is John Boehner singing "Hell no!", and it partially has to do with knowing how his voice sounds normally. It's true about voice manipulation. "Revolution 9" by the Beatles is a series of sounds with distorted voices, and that and its copies have existed for at least 40 years. Yes, it does help to know who the characters are.

I also think they're constructed really well. As far as straight programming that's pre recorded there has been a messing around with voices for a while. Some years ago, listening to NPR of course, there was a piece on how the voice was speeded up to allow for more to be said in the timeframe of any given program. When you think about it, that would really help something like the Diane Reem show because she suffers from a disorder that causes serious slow distortions in her voice. As for auto tuning the news - maybe more people will choose to be informed if they can laugh their way through watching the news. After all, there was content in there.
