Here it is. Chorus effect.

Throw that in the mix. Whisk gently.

The main thing was using a reverb which mixes a little of left with right and vice versa, which gives a wide (3D) stereo effect.

ANWIDA reverb and Freeverb* (both free) do that L-R crossover thing, (whether you like it or not), Gverb doesn’t crossover, (which isn't necessarily a bad thing).

As I mentioned I also boosted the higher frequencies which improves intelligibility, (but also makes any hiss noise more obvious).

[* apparently there are Freeverb2 and Freeverb3, the one I've got is "Dreampoint Freeverb", no number.
Be careful where you download from: preferably only download from the manufacturer/creator].

It's easy for reverberation effects to make the voice muddy. You might want to put the clean voice on one track and the effect voice on a lower one. Use the Envelope tool to go between them until you get what you want. You can do that with the other tools as well.

I still think you can get a very otherworldly effect by just pitch shifting one piano note in addition to the other tools.
