What to record?

I asked a friend If we could do the recoding in the coming days when he's available. The conversation I wrote, was with this friend in question.
But until then I will either use my voice or someone elses.

Playing around with audacity, easy to make it work. I ended up using an app called Narrator's Voice, that uses text to speech tech. I recorded each separate party with two voices. I used female voices; Ivy and COrtana. As the text is two males speaking thought it would be different two hear "female voices" talking with "manly words" such as man and dude, not that I'm saying that women are not allowed to speak that way. I named the work Online Street conversation, because of the robotic voices but using street backgrounds. I wrote this conversation as if we were talking on the phone because of the current pandemic situation and not being able to meet my friend because he's in London and I'm not. So I played with the idea of casual online/phone conversation, but in front of each other. It reminds me a bit of this movie called Surrogates; "In the near future, widespread use of remotely controlled androids called "surrogates" enables everyone to live in idealized forms from the safety of their homes. Compared to their surrogates, the human operators are depicted as slovenly and homebound. Protected from harm, a surrogate's operator feels no pain when the surrogate is damaged" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogates).
So the use of robotic voices in the real world because of the fear of catching the corona.

I thought of adding imagery of empty streets, because of the pandemic. But I might prefer to not use any, and just to listen the two robots having their conversation in the street. The problem with these voices is the lack of emotion. I tried to represent the emotions, through the sentences and paragraphs of the text.
