I’m working on a film project and my group and I want to imitate the voice of a robot from the video game Metroid Prime 3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHPMpf6e1Ww That’s the video the voice can be heard, it’s starts around 1:17. I’ve tried mixing two transposed versions of the same track together, but it doesn’t sound too close to the voice of the robot. What methods can you suggest for an Audacity user to get a voice recording to mimic the style of the robot from the video?
It sounds like multiple effects on that voice.
To achieve a reasonable mimicking of the voice you will need someone that can do a reasonable impersonation of the voice before you start adding effects.
Try making multiple duplicates of your voice recording and mix in small amounts of these effects:
Reverb
Vocoder
Chorus
Pitch shift (octave down)
Pitch shift (2 octaves down)
I don’t have a voice actor on hand, so I’ve used a text-to-speech voice (not at all ideal) for this quick mix sample:
