Hi there. I'm hoping someone can guide me in how to make sounds that sound similar to the "voices" of the Decepticon transformers (the evil transformers).
About 8:32 into the first Transformers movie is a good example of what I mean. Just after someone fires a grenade at the Decepticon, and the robot turns around to look at who shot it.
It's a kind of "mwaoo" sound (sounds like some fairly simple filter work there) with a metallic sounding quality to it, which sounds quite robotlike, but they've also managed to give the sound some human-like quality.
Like in the example I've given, the robot sounds a bit annoyed. This human-like quality might the the result of the correct intonation (probably due to the use of some pitch envelope or similar, maybe just good use of pitch bend), and possibly something more.
I've been trying to make something similar, with some success, but I still feel there's something missing, so some pointers from other people would be helpful.
Thanks in advance
