If you read the Esquire interview with Ebert that I posted a week or so ago, this is the computer recreation of his voice that a company was working on. While it’s a little rough, there’s no denying it’s Ebert’s voice. Very amazing.
Everyone should go now and read Esquire’s Roger Ebert: The Essential Man. It’s a powerful and moving piece of journalism about one of the most important journalists in my lifetime. Without his voice, Ebert’s written output has increased exponentially. Do yourself a favor and read his personal blog at http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/
