[ExI] Beowulf

[Joshua Cowan]

I recently heard an interview with someone in the animation industry (sorry, 
I'll try to find a link but I don't have it handy at the moment). The person 
said that one of the big issues in creating digital voices is recreating a 
person's "imperfections". Most of the artificial voices are without any of 
the barely audible tremors, flat notes... that we expect in human 
interaction. Needless to say, this should not be an issue that holds back 
the creation of artificial voices for long but it is a current issue.
