Cosmogonist and one of the smartest people alive, Stephen Hawking happily agreed to lend this trademark synthesized voice to the English actor Eddie Redmayne. Eddie Redmayne is the actor who played the role of the scientist in the movie about Stephen Hawking’s life drama and has been nominated since then for an Academy Award and a lot of other distinctions, awards like the Golden Globe or BAFTA. The actor was nominated for the unique way he transformed himself into the younger version of Stephen Hawking and the scientist was really glad to give this talented actor a boost is the competition for the Oscar, by offering him his synthesized voice.
“The theory of everything” goes back to the cosmogonist’s young postgraduate days; the full 1960’s are captured and queenly move along to the moment when Stephan Hawking publishes the book “A brief story of time” fare along in the 80s.
The book became a bestseller and sold over 10 million copies in 20 years and was translated into 35 languages by the year 2001. The movie is based on the memoir entitled “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephan” written by Jane Hawking. To make the movie even more realistic, the scientist agrees to give the actor his trademark synthesized voice to give him a bit of a boost for his efforts to win the Oscar.
The syndrome that Eddie Redmayne tried to get in the skin of is called amyotrophic sclerosis (ALS) and it acts as a degenerative disease that severely affects the nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain. Because of this disease and after a severe pneumonia, Stephen Hawking lost his voice; he lost the ability to speak. If a drastic measure would have not taken place; if the doctors had not inserted a tube in his windpipe, the Cosmogonist would have been no more. Since then, she scientist started communicating with the help of an electronic speech synthesizer; the (TTS) system is built to convert normal language into speech, the transformation into phonetic transcriptions takes the form of speech. TTS speech is created by connecting parts of recorded speech that are stored in special databases.
