How to Change the Sound of Your Voice in Videos

Adding vocal characterizations in a video program can provide dramatic support as a production element. Although not everyone is born with the vocal ability to produce clever characterizations, you can use hardware or software tools to change the sound of your voice to create vocal qualities that are mysterious, humorous, or even monstrous. Using these devices can open a realm of possibilities that contribute to the creative process.
