Speak like the dark lord

  • The breathing is not in the effect. Breathe in and out through your mouth, near the mic and loud enough to open the noise gate, between sentences; the flanger and reverb give it a mechanical rasp.
  • Speak slowly and evenly. Give every word the same weight and let sentences fall at the end.
  • Never raise your voice. Threats in this voice are calm statements.
  • Choose short, formal lines: orders, verdicts, disappointments.

Which of the three clips to start from

The main clip suits most adult voices. The second raises the flanger to 65%, which puts more metal ring in the helmet; pick it for short commands and video intros, since that much sweep gets tiring over a long talk. The third goes to Pitch -9 and Tone -5 and is meant for a higher starting voice: if the main version still sounds like you with a cold, begin there. A voice that is already low turns muddy at -9, so stay with -6.

Free Darth Vader voice changer FAQ

Is this the real Darth Vader voice?

No. It's a sound-alike built from pitch and effects, with no audio from the films. How close it gets depends on how you perform it.

Does it add the breathing?

No. The effects only change what goes into the mic. Do the slow breath yourself between lines and it comes out with the helmet tone.

Can I use the Darth Vader voice on Discord?

Yes, when Discord is open at discord.com in Chrome: press Use this voice in calls, then pick Facecam Virtual Mic as the input device. The Discord desktop app can't see that mic.

My voice is high. Will it still sound deep enough?

Copy the third clip, Pitch -9 and Tone -5, or move the Pitch slider down one step at a time until it sounds low but clear.
