EASyKIT

EASyKIT is a wonderful way to begin creating mocks with realistic screen templates, audio, and etc.

Splicing

Splicing is taking different versions of the CRS voices' audio clips and combining them. (This is usually done with Tom) Different versions of Tom have correct pronunciations that the other versions dont have. An example would be "Doppler Radar", Scansoft says Doppler Radar correctly while Speechify Doesn't. Its fairly easy to begin splicing and over time you can tackle more difficult splices like "Lowest".

Analog Effects

Analog effects are what you need to take your mocks to another level (visually at least). Basically it's what you need to give your video the so-called "VHS or CRT look". There are a lot of methods for analog looks, but most of them are inaccurate. Here are some of the methods i found to be similar to a real analog effect.

ntsc-rs

If you're looking for something simple but also really accurate, ntsc-rs, a modded (and way quicker) version of ntscqt, is the one. Runs as a standalone application, but also as an After Effects, Premiere Pro or OpenFX plugin. The video below is a ntsc-rs demo.

Presets

While messing with ntsc-rs, i have selected the best presets i use on it. in the .rar file are over 50 ntsc-rs presets (gonna put more soon!). Most of them are not mine, the creator's names are in their respective folders.

AviSynth/VirtualDub

After some years of trying to emulate analog video on digital, this effect was the closest i've ever got to actual analog. Not sharing the effect for now since i'm working on a video tutorial, but here's a demo on how it looks.

EAS/NWR Voices

Many computerized voices have been heard over NOAA Weather Radio and the EAS throughout the years.While many are aren't available, there are a select few which can be downloaded.

Tom

There are multiple versions of Tom all over the internet. However, versions similar to the NWS build are Speechify, Scansoft, and RealSpeak. All versions must be combined to get the most accurate and authentic sounding Tom (Splicing).

(Side Note: you can't have Scansoft or Realspeak installed at the same time or Tom will start saying random Nouns that don't even correspond with what you inputted)

Donna

This is the closest thing we have to Donna's voice called "AT&T Crystal". The voice is similar but most of the pronunciations are wrong like "The National Weather Service" but a bit of splicing could help with that.

DecTalk Paul (Old Paul)

DecTalk Paul and some of its other voices were the first computerized voices heard over NOAA Weather Radio up until 2016. A build has been found and can be used on Windows.

Craig

A voice used throughout the early 2000s before being replaced by "Tom". There are plenty of videos showcasing the voice in action but not as much as the other CRS voices. Craig's voice file is called "AT&T Mike", but I personally don't know if it has ALL correct pronunciations (Most likely not).(This voice also has been used for CAP Relays)

VoiceText Paul (New Paul)

In 2016, the NWS replaced their CRS computers for BMH. This brought a new voice over the network known as New Paul or the PinkSheep voice. While it did receive backlash for it mispronunciations, it was heavily reliable and was very responsive when an alert was issued.The voice wont have a license, and will say the user doesnt have a license before reading off what was inputted.
