Roger Ebert's new voice

2 March 2010, 14:30

Film critic Roger Ebert (At The Movies, Siskel & Ebert) lost most of his throat structures due to thyroid cancer a few years ago, which is why he hasn't been in the public eye. He was on Oprah talking about it and also previewed his new synthetic voice. The below video (on Oprah's site) is the first time his wife Charlie (aka: "Chaz") has heard it.

Cancer took his voice, but technology gave it back. Watch as Roger Ebert talks to his wife for the first time in years thanks to a computer program that uses voice clips from his old TV shows.
