Daria Gps Voice Downloads: Listen to the Original Series Voiceover Lead on Your GPS



Daria is an American adult animated sitcom[6] created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn. The series ran from March 3, 1997, to January 21, 2002, on MTV. It focuses on the title character, Daria Morgendorffer, an intelligent, cynical high school student, voiced by Tracy Grandstaff.

The series focuses on Daria Morgendorffer (voiced by Tracy Grandstaff), a smart, acerbic, somewhat misanthropic/cynical teenage girl who, along with her best friend, aspiring artist Jane Lane, observes the world around her. The show is set in the fictional suburban American town of Lawndale and is a satire of high school life, full of allusions to and criticisms of popular culture and social classes. As the show's eponymous protagonist, Daria appears in most scenes with her immediate family (mother Helen, father Jake, and younger sister Quinn) and/or Jane. It is set during Daria's high-school years and ends with her graduation and acceptance into college. The principal location used for the show (outside of the Morgendorffer home) is Lawndale High School, a public-education institution filled with colorful and dysfunctional characters. The dynamics among the two lead characters changed during season four, when Jane began a relationship with Tom Sloane. Though Daria is hesitant to accept Tom at first, fearing she will lose her best friend, she and Tom find themselves becoming closer, culminating in a kiss in the season finale. The emotional and comedic turmoil among Jane, Tom, and Daria was the centerpiece of the TV movie Is It Fall Yet?, and the relationship between Tom and Daria fueled several of season five's plotlines.


In the TV movie Is It Fall Yet?, several celebrities provided guest voices. Talk show host Carson Daly played Quinn's summer tutor, female pop punk singer Bif Naked played Jane's art camp companion, and rock musician Dave Grohl played Jane's pretentious art camp host. Several songs by the band Foo Fighters (for which Grohl is frontman) were featured in the series.[20]


Two specials were also aired; Daria: Behind the Scenes was hosted by Janeane Garofalo and aired on February 18, 2000, one week prior to the season four premiere, and featured how the show was created, the making of the show, and the voices behind the characters. The second special, Look Back in Annoyance, aired on January 14, 2002, and is a retrospective hosted by Daria and Jane and highlights all the major events from the series before the lead-up to the television film finale, which was aired one week later.


Voice guidance with turn-by-turn instructions in natural language or text-to-speech is available in more than 40 languages. You can set up the language of your voice guidance by going to Menu -> Settings -> Regional -> Voice.


I'm sure many of you have a Sat Nav (Satellite Navigation) tool, such as a TomTom or Garmin device. You probably realise that you can change the voices, but maybe you haven't been bothered to do so yet because you thought it would be too much effort.


Well, it's not difficult and won't take you long at all. Changing your Sat Nav voice is easy and can be done for free (or nearly free) using voice files from lots of sources. Today we'll go through the basic steps to get new voice files installed on your Sat Nav and then give you a great list of sites with free and dirt cheap voice files you can get.


Since I have a TomTom, I'll take you through the process quickly. If you have the TomTom setup software installed on your computer, plug your TomTom in and start it up. Navigate the menus to voices (the voice option is shown at every step). You'll be shown a huge collection of voices, starting with premium content, popular freebies (like Hungarian Grandmother) and moving on to community voice files which are free. To install a free voice, just click on "Add" to the right of the detail. It's really that simple!


For Garmin instructions for downloading and adding voice files, see here. It's pretty straightforward. However, I would guess that the Garmin software has a similar directory to make purchases even easier for you.


Here's TomTom's collection of downloadable voice files. TomTom do have a free voice section on their website, but it's currently just listing different languages and accents. However, if you browse the voices on your TomTom computer software you'll find there's plenty to choose from already which came as default options.


Sat Nav Voices offer plenty of free sat nav voice files, plus a few cheap voices for you to consider. They've recently made free a "Dangerous Steve" voice which is in honour of Steve Irwin. All of these are made with voice actors, but they're quite good.


Celebrity voices has nothing for free, but offers plenty of voice files for TomTom and Garmin dirt cheap. Voice files are made using voice actors doing imitations of Jason Statham, Elvis, Jack Nicholson & Doc Emmet Brown and more. There's a great variety of interesting voices here.


NavTones Voices offer a good variety of voice files for Garmin or TomTom [No Longer Available] at a wide variety of prices, ranging from free to $12.95. Here's where you can find KITT (from Knight Rider) and Daria alongside Mr T and Burt Reynolds. Plenty to choose from!


Pig Tones has nothing for free, but does offer some rather cheap voices. All of them are done with voice actors imitating the originals, but they are pretty good and give you some more variety to consider.


GPS Data Team has a list of free downloadable voice files for many Sat Nav types. It's very straightforward and gimmick-free, but mainly only features voices you can get at their original sites as shown above. Occasionally you can find voices on GPS Data Team which may have been available elsewhere for free as a promotion at some stage, but has now gone up to regular price. For instance, GPS Data Team has Darth Vader for free, which is normally $12.95 at other sites.


On the OzPOI.com site you can get a bleeped version of Ozzy that will still give you fully functional, voice-activated navigational prompts from the former headliner of Black Sabbath without the ubiquitous expletives. Again, the directions on how to download it to your TomTom are in the article referenced above. But just for convenience sake, we felt obliged to include an explicit set of directions right here.1. Connect your TomTom device to the computer and open up a Web browser2. Go to tomtom.gps-data-team.com
