1 Authentic German person.

[Rob Zero]

I got an idea:
Get some Arnold Swarzenegger films and sample the words and copy and paste
together what you want him to say.

I think it will add to the "strangeness" if you do that..

;)

I played around with that idea for a while and it was the most Kraftwerkian
alien sounding voice you could ever have!
