the whole song sounds like pizza what the heck! this is coooool
I love everything about this. Did you use a certain vocaloid for this?
What a delicious tune. 
Please tell me where to find Pizza Town on a map. I want to move there.
What a feel good/relatable song. Good to hear your tunes again dude!
Surely I'm not going to listen to this for 5 minutes. Oh, I guess I am. Yes, I want a pizza too.
This is the WB anthem for 2022, I'm calling it now. Anytime someone posts a pizza emoji or says they want pizza we're all going to be like "We want that za za za"
Uniquely creative as always. Can't wait to hear what you got this year 
Oh yeaaaah now i need a pizza. good work. look what you've done.
there is so much hype going on in this track! the "za variations" in the last third really keep the track MUCH LIKE A GOOD PIZZA, fresh.
the "wavering and shimmering" chord effect is great LIKE THE HEAT RISING OFF A PIZZA
that descending melody of "give us that za za za" is so freakin' artful!
the file size in contrast to the depth of the sound is downright hilarious
Perfect Ipaghost WB01 tune, so fun and bubbly! Also I totes had some 'za for dinner before WB was due. [%>
What a start to the year. Love those vocals and the tune absolutely bops!

Woo this is so good reminds me of that time orangedrink took me out for za when we meet up in 2019 so long ago.
But gah this is so catchy

No Noids here! I used 15.ai, an AI text to speech project train on mostly MLP and other cartoons. I then chopped it up and tuned it using Flstudio's Newtone. Link is now in the description. Give it a try!

@“Thanks! I posted the link to the text to speech in the description, and the process up in the comments!” Oh yeah, I see the link now. Poked a little bit around, and it looks very intriguing. Large range of options with all the characters and emotional contextualizers. If I find the time, I'll try to make it sing too with auto-tune or vocoding.

There are a bunch of other text to speech options out there as well. I have used Google's tts in the past. Have fun experimenting! I think using a pitch tool like Newtone or Celemony Melodyne will work better than vocoding. Still with this technique you need to embrace the artificialness! Also try adding vibrato to long notes for extra flavor!
The vocoder might obliterate any of the voice's character, and lose all of the natural pitch variation found in speech. This might be very useful for a chorus though! If I was using vocoder, I would just record the vocals and save myself a bunch of tedious steps.

Thanks for the tips. I've tried chipspeech from Plogue art. Great emulation of vintage tts. I used this this weeks song.

You're right for most use-cases, but I think the ttp/vocoder combo can be useful for making robot choir parts (out of synth chords) without making many separate voices.

they are using https://15.ai/ text to speech. I wonder which character though.

Then there's Piapro with Hatsune Mike et.al., but I found that pretty challenging to program

Flstudio also has a really vintage sounding tts called Speech Synthesizer, you can drop the generated text file into most of fl's samplers without the wav file except Newtone for some dumb reason. You can use pitch offsets in the text to get notes, and on the playlist timeline, you can automatically slice each word, but it's a pain unless you already know what the melody will be. Still, it's free and it doesn't add to the file size of the project.
The robot choir is what I meant by chorus! It's perfect for that! And robots!

I used to use the old Vocaloids back in the day, they require a lot of carful tweaking to make sound natural that comes free when using this tts technique! It might be a cleaner sound, but too robotic without a lot of work. Plus I feel like I've heard them too much, I like having a different sound.
I've tried using Chipspeech, but have always had a hard time making it sound intelligible. But for a robotic voice instrument, it's fun!

Agreed.

Yeah, another + is that it is super easy to use.
Getting the party started for 2022! Fun vocoder effected vocal and lyrics! I'm in Brooklyn... all your Za are belong to us 
Great track to kick the year off. Now stuck in my head all day!

So Eggpic. I look forward to your next banger which builds off the presumably-also-unconsciously-etched fhqwhgads flash magic.
i'm behind on replies and other listens because i keep hearing this in my head and have to listen to it

I am late to the pizza party so I get da c0000ld slice for breakfast! The chorus is so catchy! *taps toes* Hooray for filtered section too.
This song was one of my introductory WB experiences and I remember being like "I see where the bar is at this place and my only goal this year is to strain my neck less..."
(This comment brings me to 100% 2022 ipaghost comments... as of week 47 )
dang, reading (most of) this made me hungry. for what you can probably guess.
nice tune you got going no
