Alien Voice Design from the Sound Design Showdown

Hey everyone! This is long overdue, but I wanted to share the voice processing for some of the aliens from the Sound Design Showdown, particularly since I know a few folks were interested when watching it live. My submission had the “Pathetic…” alien.

After voicing the lines myself, I only used Little Alter Boy for pitch shifting and iZotope VocalSynth 2. VocalSynth 2 is a collection of different modules/effects, so I took note of what was used for each voice. Bill, the re-recording mixer in my group, added a few extra plugins like a subharmonic generator and flanger, but most of the vocal character comes from VocalSynth 2 after pitch shifting. For something that’s marketed more towards music, I’ll definitely return to this VST in the future for voice design!
