Difference between revisions of "Distorting Speech for Special Effects"

I use the same program as he does, but I have discovered a way to make a cool sounding voice, it doesn't sound like a dremora, but it is cool. First record yourself speaking normally (or change your accent/"falsetto-nes"/pitch, etc depending on the character) then select all of the dialog. Once this is done, click the effect button (it's on the same row that the 'file' button is) then select echo. I have messed around a-bit, and I personally like to set the ''Delay time'' to 0.2 and the ''Decay factor'' to 0.4. If you like how it sounds, keep it; but if you want it to sound like a demonic, thingy (with a impossibly low voice) use the effects tab, and click change pitch. depending on the level of your voice, you may need to lower it really low. You can just ignore everything but the last box, the 'percent change' box. All of the information above this is used to generate the percent change, so just change the percent manually. altering it by a negative percent makes it lower, modifying it by a positive percent makes it higher. To achieve the effect you want, you may need to alter the percent drastically (I am a low bass and I need to lower it fifty percent to make a demonic voice). So experiment with how you speak the original recording, and how low to make it...you '''can''' mess with the echo settings, but I really like these settings, they're the best I've come up with yet.
