There's an almost unlimited amount of entertainment to be found on the Internet, including some classic cartoons that any child will love. Did you ever think about changing those cartoons by personalizing them? Imagine how your child will react when they hear their name spoken by the cartoon character! Imagine their surprise when they hear, "Th-th-th-that's all folks! Now go to bed, Heather!" You could add titles and special text messages over the images as well. "A Special Happy Birthday Cartoon for Johnny" would look great across the screen. You could add special effects here and there to add some creative excitement and new surprises for them.
Most movie editing programs will easily add text and also allow you to add in special effects, which usually work best if you insert them at the existing transition points; when the onscreen view changes, put your effect between the two scenes, typically this is done by cutting the file at that point and applying the transition or effect to create an element that does not interrupt the video. You can make it so that just as your child's favorite superhero launches into the air, suddenly "YOU'RE THE BEST, JENNIFER!" explodes on the screen, just before the hero saves the day. You can easily overdub (that means you replace an original audio portion with new audio) the cartoon, adding in anything you want to say in the voice of the superhero. You can watch as just before the villain gets defeated, the superhero says "This one's for you, Ethan!"
Replacing audio is a little more technical than adding effects or text. Not all audio programs offer the ability to replace parts of the audio stream in a file. One program that works very well, and in fact has a special filter designed exactly for the purpose of extracting an audio portion and replacing it with one of your own, is AV Voice Changer Software Diamond (VCSD). There are three editions of the program, with the Diamond edition offering a complete set of tools for modifying virtually any audio. Additionally, it also is one of the only programs I know of that can assist you in reproducing almost any voice. With a set of tools that allow simple point and click adjustments, combined with a large library of voice presets that set up the parameters for every kind of voice you can imagine, you can recreate virtually any voice, human or otherwise. Load a preset, or "nickvoice" in, make some minor adjustments to allow for the quality of your voice, and you can change your sex, your age, or become a robot, or a monster, or a famous personality, or anything you can imagine.
You really aren't limited to cartoons either; old or new movie clips, your own videos, or videos that friends have shared; all of these can easily be reedited and modified with your own creativity. You could do a great mashup by cutting a video into smaller parts, rearranging them and adding in additional dialog, and special effects. Your video editing program will make cutting up and rearranging easy, especially if it displays a timeline and allows drag-and-drop rearranging of clips.
Once you have got your video reedited, you can turn to VCSD for many more audio options. You can sample the voices from the video to make a file of a voice you want to replicate. Then, using a special module, you can practice getting your voice to sound like the target voice, by clicking on and adjusting a point on a graph and by modulating your own pitch and timbre, (the two basic aspects of human speech) you can approximate the other person's voice. Once you have those settings, you can then speak in that voice through the program and record it, save it, or place it directly into the working file. Imagine the possibilities!
Whatever you decide to do, keep in mind this is a totally fun project. It will be fun deciding what to do, fun finding the best material, fun creating it, and fun producing it. However, the best fun will come when you share it. I hope you get started soon and have a wonderful time.
