How can I synthesize my voice like a robotic demon?

Hi, everyone! I’ve used Audacity before (for extending songs, and that was mainly one particular instance so far), but I’m a first-timer playing with voice synthesization for applying a more robotic voice for my recordings.

I’ve been trying out a number of tutorials that show you how to add robotic effects to your voice, and while a lot of them have definitely been pretty cool, there’s a particular itch I’m still trying to scratch.

Okay so, I know you guys hear this a lot, but there’s a particular character voice effect I’m trying to capture, like an actual effect. He’s the anime OVA Karas, Kamaitachi the robotic demon, and he has a heavily-synthesized metallic voice that makes him barely audibly understandable, but it’s still a very strong effect that gives his voice that horrific punch on top of being a series of mechanical blades in a humanoid shape; that serrated and sharp vibration to that voice like it too is a kind of steel blade.

Here’s the best video I could find of him on YouTube (he’s the fella with the long neck with a bunch of blades on his body): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4QSlCB4LUo

I may have to make a video of all of his audio lines myself at some point. :stuck_out_tongue:

You can make your voice sound like a robotic demon by using a voice-changer app or audio editor with effects like distortion, pitch-shift, reverb, and metallic modulation. Just layer the effects lightly so the voice stays clear while still giving that deep, robotic, almost naked raw edge you’re aiming for.
