Masked horror voice changer

The preset cuts the deep bass and the high treble and pushes up the nasal middle, the way a phone line does. It also flattens the difference between loud and quiet words, like a phone line. Distortion adds the gravel: more than the villain voice, less than the monster. A moderate drop (Pitch -5, Tone -3) makes it bigger without turning it into a creature.

• Stay quiet and calm. The menace comes from restraint; shouting just turns into distortion.
• Leave long pauses. Silence does more on a call than any effect.
• Ask questions instead of making statements.
• Speak close to the mic. The preset mutes very quiet sounds, so soft words far from the mic can get cut.

The small plastic voice changers sold with costume masks change your voice in the room, for trick-or-treating or a party. This preset changes it on the computer: in Discord, Google Meet or Zoom on the web in Chrome, and on a stream. For a clip to send, the Online Voice Changer takes a recording, puts this preset on it and gives you a WAV file. That one works on phones too.

It's built for Halloween calls, horror streams and friends who know the joke. Don't use it to frighten or threaten people who haven't agreed to it. A voice changer also doesn't make you anonymous: your account and phone number don't change.
