Funny text to speech
Funny text to speech in Facecam is the Character Voice Generator used for comedy: it reads your line in one of 14 original voices, then adds an effect such as Chipmunk, Robot or Megaphone.
Before and after
Before: the line read by Basil, no effect.
The same text and voice in every clip; only the effect changes.
After: Chipmunk effect.
After: Robot effect.
After: Megaphone effect.

More about this voice
Where the funny comes from
The speech itself is a normal, clear voice. The joke is the effect on top and the timing of the line. You can try every effect on the same line for free; only new text, a new voice or a new speed costs credits.
| Effect | What it does to the line | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Chipmunk | very high, like a sped-up tape | tiny outraged announcements |
| Robot | metallic, buzzy machine voice | deadpan facts, fake AI assistants |
| Megaphone | narrow, distorted bullhorn | fake emergencies |
| Announcer | deeper, broadcast-booth polish | over-dramatic trailers |
| Demon | very low with a dark reverb | ridiculous threats about snacks |
Write lines that land
- Keep it short. One or two sentences beat a paragraph; text to speech has no comic timing of its own.
- Use punctuation for timing: a full stop is a beat, a comma is half a beat, and an ellipsis is a longer pause.
- Contrast works: a serious announcement in the chipmunk effect, or a tiny complaint through the megaphone.
- Spell names the way they sound if the voice says them wrong.
Use it on stream or in Discord
Download the WAV file and add it to the Facecam Soundboard. It plays clips of up to 30 seconds into your mic on sites in Chrome, including discord.com. It doesn't read your chat aloud: you choose and generate each line.
What it won't do
The voices are original. It won't imitate a celebrity, a streamer or a cartoon character, and lines with slurs, sexual content, threats or someone's personal information are refused before anything is charged. It speaks English only.
