Gman - Classic Speech Enhanced

Description
Uses AI upscaled audio provided by iGerman to replace Kevin Sisks Gman speech with that of Michael Shapiros original, complete with lip sync and synchronization with the original choreography.

If you are experiencing troubles with the audio, you may need to manually install it, or use snd_restart in the console.

There is no voice cloning or speech replacement done here. Mike Shapiros voice was not used in any way to train any of the AIs used in this process which are all commercially available to the public. These are essentially the same sound effects from Half-Life 1, just with higher frequencies artificially restored and the sample rate increased. The lines were synchronized to Sisks performance by hand. So the moral implications of this mod are the same as any other altered voice line mod or speech splicing done in machinimas or similar.

Tools used in this process include Izotope RX 8, Enhance Speech from Adobe, and Audacity.

does it work with model changes?

There are too many unique, changed, or new voice lines added to Black Mesa that I cannot.

Could you maybe add compatibility with Endgame Enhanced? Currently G-Man won't move his mouth in the "Accept" cutscene.

I've updated the description to better reflect this.

As stated previously, there is no voice cloning work done here. This is not generative AI, this is manipulative AI, and some hand crafted work. These are the same sounds from Half-Life 1, just heavily modified. So the moral implications are the same as any other voice splicing and alteration mods or machinimas.

Michael Shapiro is alright with this right?
