Detailed Workaround Guide for people who wishes to use only Machine Voice (or removes specific one)
While I plan to release a stand-alone for Machine Empire voice later, it's not likely going to be any-time soon, I'm still working hard and still putting a lot of effort into these things.

However, I also understand some may not like the organic voices since they are not using original sounds as basis and thus seems to be of less quality than Machine Empire ones which are mostly altered base game voices.

There're two ways you can get rid of the voices you disilike, the easy, temporary way and a complicated, but permanent way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EASY WAY - Recommended

1. Go to your steam forum then follow these paths - \steamapps\workshop\content\281990\1385175538

2. Open the talkingalien.zip, then go to sound folder

3. Deletes everything except synthetic_dawn, this will get rid of all non Machine Voices

4. Alternatively, you can personally select which one you want to remove

5. All deleted files will go back to use base game sounds (Snorting, Chriping, grunting)

This is a simple and quick method, the drawback is that everytime I updates the mod, you'll have to do this again lol. Fortunately I'm not going to update the mod everyday every six hours.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPLICATED WAY - OVERWRITE <Only if you really hate the voices and never want to ever ever hear them again>, It's rather overkill but it will fufill your desire.

1. Launch Stellaris Launcher

2. On the mod list, click on Mod Tool, then select Create Mod and name it something like !!Vanillavoice (the "!!" will ensure it will overwrite my files)

3, Go to C:\Users\pc\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Stellaris\mod and find your mod

4. Open a new window and go to your steam forum then follow these paths
\steamapps\common\Stellaris\sound\vo\phenotypes

5. Copy the folders of any original sounds you wish to keep (Aka the ones you dont like in my mods), for example \steamapps\common\Stellaris\sound\vo\phenotypes\avian\

6. Paste it on your mod so it should look like this
\steamapps\common\Stellaris\sound\vo\phenotypes\avian\<list of sounds>

7. Enable your mod on the launcher (You have to close and reopen it)

Using this method, no matter how much I update my stuffs, you will get to keep the base game original sounds always. It's really overkill though. Probably should not do it, it will just unncessary eat up your computer space.

Technically, you can also just extract the sounds in the Machine folder and use the same method to create your own personal version. If you know what and how to do it, then by all means.
