Guys, I need your help. I'm looking for a plugin that lets me shape a voice with spoken phrases (not singing) to something deeper, bassier while still sounding (a little?) natural. I thought Vocal Synth would be my goto, but it sounds rather artificial. Pitchwheel is getting a little closer, but it would be great if I had something with more options than just pitch and timbre. I was thinking about using melodyne, or that newer thing (forgot the name, same principle), I guess that could be an option, but I haven't installed those. So before going to go through the hassle of doing that, would anyone recommend that? or is there a better option? PS: I can't go the AI route because contracts, I have to use what I got.
Good Luck @Plendix: Soundtoys Little AlterBoy: best balance of simplicity and natural results for pitch + formant shaping. Waves Vocal Bender: very flexible for deeper voice effects, with pitch and formant-style control. Melodyne / similar editor: best if you need precise phrase-by-phrase correction and formant editing.
Take a look at Dehumaniser 2. It's more geared towards extreme shifting, but you can dial it for something subtle too.
