Subject:Voice Alteration Posted by: mjeff1 Date:12/6/2003 4:34:22 PM Does anybody know any good tricks for taking a recording of someone's voice and altering it to sound like a different person? It doesn't need to be any particular person, just sound like someone other than the original. I tried playing with the pitch a little bit but couldn't come up with anything that sounded believable.
Subject:RE: Voice Alteration Reply by: kbruff Date:12/6/2003 5:49:17 PM I am not sure if this helps but a vocoder can manipulate a persons voice to make it sound like robot or an instrument etc. try this free vocoder, perhaps it will work for you... http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/audio/vocoder.htm Bye - Kevin ***

Subject:RE: Voice Alteration Reply by: MacMoney Date:12/7/2003 8:57:30 AM UltraPitch by Waves does a really good job George Ware From the Waves web page UltraPitch - an incredible formant-corrected pitch shifter with 6-voices (yes, six). All pitch shifting is done with optional formant-correction to avoid the old chipmunk effect, or for excellent gender-bending. Make a guy into a girl, or an alto sax into a tenor, etc. Each voice has independent stereo panning and delay, plus a little Animator delay-randomizer. Set the pitchshift by musical intervals (with 5 cent resolution), plus the formant mapping can be fully manual or you can use the presets that perfectly match instrumental formant responses. UltraPitch can create huge and thick stereo chorusing, doubling, parallel harmonies, excellent vocal slap/spread effects, and much more! The factory presets include classic setups for instruments, voices, plus some rather "outside the box" effects.

I believe Madonna used this effect (or something similar) on her last single - the one where her voice slowly changes into a man's voice at the end.
Subject:RE: Voice Alteration Reply by: vanblah Date:12/7/2003 12:08:21 PM Any kind of pitch shifter which also allows for formant change as well. Most "auto tune" plugins do this. RBCAudio.com Akai PitchRight (Click on VST Plugin Demos. You'll need a VST Wrapper) and of course Antares Auto-Tune Be aware that nothing is perfect though.
