To be fair, Vasco is a robot with a robotic / computer generated sounding voice. It's still cool, but it wouldn't take modern AI / neural network based processing to do that, any old text to speech engine could reproduce Vasco's voice.

I just saw another link farther down saying that its not actually auto generated at all. Jake Green just had to record 1011 different names.......
