♪ Idea for a song cover in A Trusted Friend ♫ I need your help. · 12:15pm May 29th, 2014
Yesterday, on my way home from work (the number one factor in slowing down my progress), I was listening to a popular brony song and thought: ya' know? This kinda sounds like something that could be adapted to be Portal related, like it sounds like something Harry101UK would do. And I thought, OMG, it would be so awesome if I make a version with new lyrics and put it later in the story after the new Aperture Science has been established. And the tone fits quite well with the dark nature of the fic.
So, I spent last night writing new lyrics, and they seem to fit quite well with the story. What I'd like to do is cover a version that sounds like GLaDOS/turret voice singing it. The problem is, my voice sucks, and Vocaloid (like the "Still Alive" intro song) sounds weird. So, I need someone who can make their voice sound as close to possible to something GLaDOS or a Portal AI. Something along the lines of "This is Aperture" is what I'm looking for, though I don't expect that good of quality.
Now, I'm not directly stating what song it is because I don't want to spoil it for those who'd rather be surprised later, though I'm sure that most of you familiar with brony music will know it. I'll give you a hint: it's grimdark, electronic, has a few million hits on YouTube, and has been adapted into a famous story. Meh, If you still can't figure it out, here's a link. Ther're no points for guessing right. If you think you can help, send me a PM, and I'll provide more details. Any help will be greatly appreciatated, or as GLaDOS would say: "Thank you for helping us help you help us all."
I shall gladly wait till you release it and see if it make me want to don armor with stuff from three different universes. Then go all doomguy on the combine.
I dont know how I havn't seen that video untill now
I think Kira Buckland makes commissions. You should try asking her.
She makes good female voices (she voiced Maya Fey in Turnabout Storm) so a GLaDOS voice should be simple enough for her.

Hm, I've looked into her stuff (Rina-chan (MeleePrincess)). She also has pages on Wikipedia and IMDB. I don't see where she voiced Maya Fay (I can't remember Maya being in it, and I haven't seen Part 5), but I do see that she has done a lot of voices in well-known videos and can sing. She seems to do a lot of happy and cheery voices, but I saw her do some more serious-sounding voices, like Primrose from Snowdrop.
I also wrote lyrics for a "For the First Time in Forever" Parody a while ago, but haven't found anyone to sing it. I think that at least would be perfect for her.
Do you know the best way for me to contact her?

(Oh, and Maya shows up at the end of Part 5 FYI, after the first set of credits.)

Well, it looks like I'm gonna have to create a Twitter account, then. Until now, that has been a website that I've had absolutely nothing to do with.
…
Well, creating an account was an unpleasant experience, and so was fitting a message in 140 characters. Not exactly the best way to communicate. Hopefully, it will pay off.
