Oh, and for the love of all things holy-
ALWAYS BE CONSISTENT.
It doesn't matter if half of your samples were recorded in a studio if half were recorded on your laptop's built in mic.
If there's a difference in quality, tone, pitch, it will nearly ruin your bank x_o

pitch doesn't ruin the bank so much.
just when you change pitch in your samples.

Pitch alone doesn't hurt much- But the things you use to change the pitch of your samples can, ie intonation, force-
Also, if you magically can record half your samples and C2 and half at G5, half will sound pretty different from the other half and cause inconsistencies.

@Mayo: Pretty much what miss Blythe said. I also suggest recording under a blanket, if you can, 'cause it'll cut out a lot of background noise. If the samples ate too loud, just turn them down in Audacity (Effect > Amplify > -0.04, just keep hitting ctrl+R after the first time to redo the effect until they're all the same volume), it'll also turn down background static and noise until it's all or nearly gone.

Actually, I wouldn't suggest doing anything to the samples. A bit of fluctuation in volume won't hurt, and if you're smart and record in OREMO, it would be a real bother to do that.
It's better to just work to keep your voice consistent.

to the audacity thing.
record in oremo, and make the effects then. import all sound files.
do the same thing to them at a time.
then export all files at a time and choose "name by textmarks"
keep the metadata the same and just hit ok until it has done all samples.
wait a minute or two.
done.

Wooo then, bad news on these last few otos ><
My laptop has this really bad overheating-lock-up problem. It's finally gotten cold enough that the heater's been switched on, and it's making my laptop lock up every few minutes, even with a set of external fans under it.
I'm still trying to do the otos, but I can't say they'll be done soon .____.
