If you notice halo uses Gregorian chants and tribal war drums instead of the usual rock and synth wave like usual sci fi.

[@TocoaPuffs]

I don't think it's edited, if so it's very misleading since the title of it is singing in an actual church. You're not running natural church reverb through autotune and expecting anything but garbage. You do need to record in vocal boxes, or at least an isolated room, if you're going to do any pitch editing. Totally possible to do it that way and just record the video in a church, it just doesn't look like it to me. I'm just an amateur though.
