Voice Acting, Audio Editing & Custom NPC(s)

[PunkN]

I have questions --- sooooo many questions --- on the topic of "custom voices" [dialogue] for NPCs & player's character as well.  Here's a few just spit out from the tippy-top of my "head":

~ What the HECK is a FUZ? Where can I get said-"FUZ" tools, and a miracle that it'll be easy to figure out/learn to use correctly?

~ What's their line... lines... if I were wanting to re-voice the vanilla dialogue for some of the player-follower interaction lines.

~ If I wanted to take some recorded "WAV" files and alter the pitch/tone of the voice, which (free) tools would be easiest for making such adjustments? PS- I'm without a bit of know-how when it comes to all those sliders 'n knobs I've seen on some tools before!

~ What the fudge am I getting myself into now; Kratos' mods are haunting me apparently.

With that last question (which I'm sure nobody will ever have the answer for) gives away the voice I'm hoping to capture and bring to the mod(s) to set our Kratos/Kratas apart from the knock-offs/others that are available.  This is also assuming one of the authors from aforementioned "others" doesn't see/hear about this plan 'n beat me to it.... But --- I digress --- I'm sure I've got the CK portion pretty much figured out from the various forums & videos online. It's really everything else up to that point that I'm in the dark about. I'll greatly appreciate whatever info regarding this topic that's available; even if it may come with an asterisk/heads up! Any-n-all related miscellaneous info or unconventional little tips/tricks that may help me with this endeavor are equally appreciated!

XWM/FUZ=audio format.

WAV=audio format.  I know you knew that one.

I have NOT utilized the material, just a quick reference to get your brain started.

As far as 'tools' go.  It is a matter of how much money you have; or if you believe free stuff works fine, like 'lame' tools.

Blender for life back in the days i had so many issues working on armor with 3ds... the python scripts were unbeatable when it came to rigging.
