Add custom sounds (to WoW)

You can add your own custom sounds (and even textures for bars) by using LibSharedMedia.

The text-to-speech sounds from this addon were created with standard voice "Joanna". You can create/download text-to-speech sounds on multiple sites, for example this one. I altered playback speed to 115% by using the the "prosody" tag.

For example: <prosody rate="115%">Recklessness</prosody>

You need to convert the sound(s) to ogg format. You can do this with a lot of free audio tools like Audacity.

I usually normalize the sounds to -1db (Effects -> Normalize in Audacity), so they all have the same volume.

Audacity also offers the possibility to do this procedure (open mp3/wav -> normalize -> save as ogg) to a bulk of files in one step (with Audacity chains).

If you want to create a bulk of text-to speech files in one go i recommend ttsautomate.
