More about this voice

What makes it sound like a robot

A low buzz mixed into your voice (the Robot slider): this is the metallic sound.
A fast, ringing whoosh, like talking down a metal tube.
A little digital crunch on top, like an old computer speaker.
Less bass and treble, with the middle pushed up: easy to understand and a bit tinny.

Your pitch doesn't change, so you still sound like you. That's what makes it easy to understand on a call.

Talk like a machine

The effect does half the work. Talk in a flat tone, keep an even pace and cut your word endings short. Short sentences help, because the buzz smears long vowels.
