No, they're not synthesized; I use a combination of altering the sample rate, filtering, and altering the timbre of my voice as I speak (e.g. by speaking in an unnaturally high or low pitch, or with my tongue curled = back in a retroflex position, etc.) The Olaetyan sample, on the other hand, is unaltered (since Olaetyans are basically human).

The RealAudio site keeps changing; the latest software for creating RealAudio files appears to be RealProducer G2, available at http://www.real.com/products/tools/index.html (a free version is = available for Windows and Macintosh PPC). I use an older version of the software, RealAudio Encoder 3.0, which is apparently no longer available.
