The Voice of Silicon Bay

The choice of voice for a recording probably has more impact on its perceived quality than technical aspects affecting recording quality. For this reason Winnie Clarke, a trained actress, has been chosen as the Voice of Silicon Bay.

Demonstration Tracks

The following demonstration tracks have all been recorded in MP3 format and in mono to minimse web download times and file sizes.

Reducing the bit rate (kbps) of an MP3 track reduces the track's filesize, but also reduces its audio quality.

A selection of tracks recorded at different bit rates have been provided below by way of example:

  Vocal Demo Sample voice demo track (421kB)
  128kbps MP3 MP3 track recorded at 128kbps (92kB)
  64kbps MP3 MP3 track recorded at 64kbps (43kB)
