Is it possible to "auto-tune" a spoken human voice? There's a new
radio commercial by Dick Clark, and while it definitely *is* him
talking, it just doesn't sound natural.

It is probably the result of artifacts induced by the studio encoding the spot
to send to the agency that decodes the spot that then encodes it again to send
to the distributor that decodes it to encode it to send to the stations that
decode it to encode it to their HD then it's decoded and monitored then encoded
and sent to the transmitter then decoded and broadcast so you can hear. Now,
very possibly, the station could have used a little box that speeds programming
up just a bit so they have more free time to sell hourly. This will add a bit
of "un-naturalness" and another encode/decode cycle.

And we wonder why radio sucks.
