Summary edit

This media file has an associated English-language subtitle file TimedText:Glados-welcome.ogg.en.srt

Non-free media information and use rationale true for GLaDOS
Description	A portion of GLaDOS' speech (as voiced by Ellen McLain) that occurs within the first few minutes of starting the game Portal. (welcoming the player to the world) The speech is synthesized and modulated in non-standard means as described in the GLaDOS article
Source	Sound sample from Portal files; copyright Valve Corporation
Article	GLaDOS
Portion used	About 5 seconds are used; while the single audio sample this was pulled from is about 30 seconds, 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 the way that McLain's voice is digitized and modulated to compliment the discussion on this presented in the article.
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.
