1. loud.

I want a loud effect voice.

2. echo
I want echoey voices!

setvoicetoalto (echo)setvoicetotenor (echo)setvoicetosqueak (echo)setvoicetogiant (echo)setvoicetokitten (echo)

and the reporter blocks!.
echo this will change when the sprite with the echo effect talksloudthis will increase when the sprite with the loud effect talks

I'm surprised I didn't find a duplicate…


Support!
I think this would be an awesome addition! Right now, Text to Speech seems quite basic, as there are no options other than the five voices. I think Text to Speech could use improvement, and this would be a great one!

Here's my mockup:

I think this would be better if the loud and echo effects were treated as variables. There's multiple levels of volume in addition to echo and reverb. This way, we can definitely expand capabilities with audio effects without restrictions.

I think there should be another effect-an emotion block. For example, you want it to say grrrrr like it is really angry and you would set the emotion to angry.

ifthe emotion block=a good idea to you?thenaddan emotion blocktoscratchelsesayThis is a bad idea

Support, this would be cool! But I think it should be a separate block, rather than adding on to an existing block:
setroboteffectto0changeechoeffectby25echoeffect
Volume is covered here, and I support that too, but I think it should be separate from the effects. There could also be the sound effects you can put on sounds over here, but the different voices already kind of cover pitch, and pan left/right would just be weird…

I agree with others that having this as a separate block would be the best route to take. Adding “(loud)” and “(echo)” to each option on the drop-down will triple the length, while giving them separate blocks lets them be customized dynamically and at different levels. I agree that loudness should not be an effect, as well. I do think that pan left/right should be, though.
