I just made an edit that I feel is incomplete. I clarified a few bits, but the part about Terri Brosius is incomplete and I don't have enough information to finish it up with authority. I think the original author failed to mention Eric Brosius, who, as I heard it, is Terri's husband and the person responsible for manipulating her voice into its distorted form. -- call me Faint, unregistered
Yup.
Eric Brosius was the sound editor for SShock 2 and the original music composer/sound editor for SShock 1. His wife provided the voice for Shodey.
Besides that... in the original release version of the game, all of the text logs register Shodey as a "he" or an "it." In the voiceovers that were added later once the Sound Blaster card came out, the pronouns were turned to the feminine. This is because while working with her husband, fiddling with the sound boards in testing the new card, Mrs. Brosius read some of S.H.O.D.A.N.'s lines and then Eric Brosius ran them through the sequencer a few times and created the "pixellated voice" SShock fans have come to alternately love and despise. They thought it sounded cool, so they sent it to the game designers, who thought it sounded cool, and so Mrs. Brosius became the voice of S.H.O.D.A.N... and that's when Shodey officially became a "she." She was originally written as an "it" until the voice came along.
That's the story I heard, at least. She wasn't credited in SShock 1, but was in SShock 2.
