Excellent Auto-Suggestion Tool: Fonix ‘ISpeak’
Excellent Auto-Suggestion Tool: Fonix ‘ISpeak’
With all the expensive gadgets on the market that are supposed to help Dreaming and Lucid Dreaming, the most effective tools I have found were of the home-grown variety – I would find a looping cassette player, write a script of suggestions, and then record it on tape, and then allow it to play while I would nap and sleep. Such tapes are the best kind of autosuggestion. They have all the benefits of Subliminal Recordings while being even better, since they are directly understandable and need not be extracted by some decoder faculty in our subconscious minds.
But there were some disadvantages. It would seem odd that the suggestions would be in one’s own voice, which can hardly be thought to impress us as much of an Authority (is one not often tired of listening to one’s self, and is it not true that the most difficult person one has to impress is one’s self). Also, I could never find a looping cassette player that was sturdy enough for such continuous use, and they would soon break down. Also, there was the problem of production – writing the script and then having to read it out, trying not to stutter or make mistakes.
It finally occurred to me, that there ought to be some Software that would allow one’s computer to take the place of these junky tape machines, and I was extremely lucky that I did not find such Software, but instead found this Product called “ISpeak 3.0” by a company called Fonix. One simply writes the script in WORD format and then selects its File to a Playlist, and set it for ‘Repeat’ and the program itself reads the text, in male or female voice, the entire night if you wish.
The Software comes with a number of Voices, a few from its own engineers, and some from other companies. But I recommend the Companies own “Mike” and “Crystal” voices as the clearest and most natural. During Installation, try to just select loading Mike and Crystal, as the other voices will never be used and will just clutter up your computer’s memory to no purpose. There are a few echo effects that can be used to make the Suggestions more hypnotic, as well as speed and pitch adjustments.
The Crystal Voice is the first that I will try, myself being a Goddess Worshipper. I’ve already written the script and set it up. It only took a few hours. The Software itself was less than 25 American Dollars. There are several words and phrases that come out unnaturally, but one can fix the scripts easily enough to reward sections that come out sounding awkward. The surprising thing, is how well the voice DOES manage to read well and convincingly (once the speed and pitch settings are really fine tuned… one or two increments making a lot of difference – the settings are defaulted at 50, but about 33 or 34 for speed brings it to excellence.
May I suggest that in writing your Auto-hypnotic Script, one should make free use of the Copy and Paste functions in order to establish a pattern of repetition. Each phrase should be repeated maybe three or four times.
