I'd really like it if in the future we could sort out a way to assign a formant structure to a character so that when the players determine a text it can be generated on the fly and be accurate (and not sound like a crappy SIRI clone), but the tech for this is still way off (on the planet) so I wont hold my breath.

Hey guys, just some fodder for tougths, the mtl metal (sic) scene is full of talented vocalists growlers, screechers and the like...

I know personnaly a few guys who would probably be interested in participating in such things and give some oumph to heretics and heathens!
