How To Make Super Cool Voice Effects In Audacity

[@jackxer]

Even years later, this tutorial has served me (and I bet many other people) pretty damn well. Great job.

[@51TD0wN]

Thanks man. I never expected this to get so many views, and I'm always glad to hear that it's helped so many people.

[@mclennstarrison3884]

I know a vocal effect invented by The Beatles. It involves duplicating the vocal track, delaying one by a few milliseconds then pan individually to the left and right. It has a resonating effect of some sort.

[@astodone9022]

That's... just basic chorus effect but with a pitching rate of 0. A plugin in FL Studio called "Stereo Enhancer" does just that, and you can control how much you pan it/delay it. It doesn't have a resonating effect, it just makes it sound wide and stereo.

The best way to remove background noise is to cover your mic with 2-3 socks.

[@51TD0wN]

I've done that before, it's a good method.

[@HardeWereldNL]

Seriously ? Or its a joke ?

[@HaktanDongel]

+FifaMacho nl het is echtwaar hoor XD

[@genesisfox5412]

Actually, it's not a joke, it works as a crappy pop filter xD

I can't believe this video reached 1000 likes, thank you everyone :)

51TD0wN YOU SOUND EXACTLY LIKE OWNAGE PRANKS!!!

[@donniedemarcothevoiceoverk1429]

51TD0wN you're welcome.

[@fsk9841]

+51TD0wN can you post a tutorial how to do the voice of clyde from the series arby n the chief? I see that you follow halo maybe you can do it cuz i search it everywhere but i can't find it

[@Bredemann100]

+51TD0wN How do you become a voice actor? I can do alot of voices to perfection like the joker from batman, dexter, different black guys (and some women) movie announcer, and alot of different accents.. actually i'm just really good at copying special character's voices so do you make money of it or is just for fun?

[@marfamsilva4174]

+Bredemann100 can you do it for me pls?

[@51TD0wN]

Man, I need to do another one of these...

[@jupiterscock0]

Hey, man! Thanks for the video! Ever heard of the game Bastion? Would you know to make the voice like the game's narrator? After hearing the actor's (Logan Cunningham) voice on a normal interview, I realized they used some effects to alter his speech.

[@51TD0wN]

I checked it out, I don't see him using a huge amount of effects. I assume he's using the general effects you use to make a track sound cleaner, as well as possibly deepening the pitch. A lot of what makes a voice sound a certain way is the actor.

[@MegaJet66]

Do you know how to make the voice effect used by Anthony in the Assassins Creed III music video by Smosh?

[@51TD0wN]

I'll look into it.

[@MegaJet66]

Alright thanks man

[@itsMohak]

Hahaha!! If I say I'm the one from whom you got the Robot effect, I'll be lying... Yes, I don't know why I wrote the previous line. But thanx for help, great video

[@namer1]

hi

[@51TD0wN]

I appreciate all of the support this video has received, and I will be posting more tutorials to answer your questions. I know I said September before, but the course I took was much more intense than I'd predicted. I'll probably be able to make some videos over the Christmas holidays this year. Happy holidays everyone!

[@51TD0wN]

Sure :) Do you have a script? Or test lines?

[@FIFAENGLAND]

Bro! I'm sucking your bulls! I don't know why!? nooooooooo!!! haha, nice video man, I love people like you putting there time in to help others.

[@51TD0wN]

Thanks guys :)As I said before I'm willing to voice act for anyone. Just add 51TD0wN on Skype.

[@DividedLines]

Those effects are tight!!! Tweaked it enough to sound like Megatron. Appreciate the lesson.

Dude, I just found this and your robot voice effect is EXACTLY what I've been looking to do! Thank you so much!

I think this is the vocal effect that I've been looking for. Lot of hip hop songs always have this background vocal.

[@g-loctv6114]

Awesome thanks for the quick tutorial! Audacity was recommended to me by a friend. Haven't downloaded it yet, but I'm creating some missions in a flight sim and am wanting some good, heavy, radio modulation and I think you went over enough of it that I can get what I'm wanting.

[@TheVas76]

Ah, thank you for this. I'm customizing a Star Wars droid from the droids you buy at Galaxy's Edge. I want to give him a voice for a custom personality chip.

[@tylerschoulte]

Awesome, this has helped a lot opening my world to audio editing!

[@51TD0wN]

Glad to hear it :)

[@thefacto-mania]

there is a channel name "Riddle" his voice is superb. do you have any video or tutorial for that type of effect .if yes then please provide me. thanks and best regards...

[@veljkojankovic3105]

I have really enjoyed in your videos, they are very precise, descriptive and of good quality. I have started with using audacity few days ago and I find your videos really useful. If you got some time or good will in future you should really continue with making of similar videos concerning basic audacity usage, because with this one you have done really great job.

[@generalrex1]

Could you do a Star Wars voices tutorial with Audacity please. Like the simple "roger roger" of a droid or even the Sidious laugh if possible. These tips help out a lot.

[@jdniscool]

Nice and straight to the point. If you need voice actors for an upcoming project; I wouldn't mind lending a hand.

[@xShadowWolf44x]

Dude, right on. Thx for taking the time. To some, it may not seem like much, but the simple tips/tricks are usually the best. That was great, thx again.

you're so awesome for doing this

[@AffirmMeditateRelaxation]

Brilliant! I really want to know how to make a normal voice sound like a whisper thanks!

[@51TD0wN]

Thanks :) Unfortunately the best way to produce a whisper is to actually whisper. Whispers have an entirely different sound to them, and there is currently no effect to emulate that. Is there a particular sound clip you wanted to sound like a whisper?

[@IGotGrapes09]

@@51TD0wN emulated whisper? hmmm sounds intriguing

[@yunidai16]

To make a deep electrical voice, you just overdub your voice but you do different pitches of voices then you deepen the vocals.

[@Amikas117]

What would be a recommended mic to do this with? And how much of a difference does that make compared to an on board mic?

[@51TD0wN]

You can do this with any mic you want. The sound quality won't change after you add this effect. Obviously the better mics will sound better. For this video I used a Logitech H390 headset which actually has a relatively low quality mic. Lately I've been using the Audio Technica AT2020, and it does sound better, but I wouldn't say it sounds that bad with my headset. Some of the most popular mics for gamers are the blue yeti, and the blue snowball. So if you're interested in getting a good mic those are also good choices.

[@Amikas117]

Thanks for the response. Until my next paycheck, I'll make do with my laptop's mic.

[@Dragonzzilla]

Could you help me? I have an older project that I spent a lot of time tuning, but I didn't make any notes of what effects I used to create it. I really liked how it turned out, but I can't remember how I could recreate it. Is there a way to see what effects you made to a project that you saved a long time ago?

[@51TD0wN]

*****I don't think so, but you could always play around with the effects until you find something similar. Sorry, I couldn't help more.

[@Dragonzzilla]

51TD0wN That sucks. There are so many effects on it, I can't honestly tell.
