| Article | |
| Portion used |
About 30 seconds are used; while the single audio sample used is the majority of the specific line being read, there is approximately 10 minutes total of similar dialog in the game, spoken/synthesized in the same manner. Thus, it is believed this falls within "less than 10%" of the total work for audio samples. |
| Low resolution? |
Lowest-quality OGG rerecording of sample |
| Purpose of use |
Identification of GLaDOS' change from a computerized voice to a sensual and human-sounding voice; her change from a robotic voice to a human-sounding voice also illustrates her "psychotic breakdown" that she has. |
| Replaceable? |
While users have created their own means of recreating the effects of the digitization and modulation that could be used to demonstrate the effect, this modified performance by McLain and Valve specifically for the GLaDOS article has no free replacement. |
