I needed to process a voice to sound “evil” but how to do it? So after a little internet research this is what I found….
Pitch shift it down and slap a slight ring modulator on it?Use Antares’ Mutator – I got it on special offer from audiomidi.com for $10
Reverse your voice clip then apply a long reverb to it, then reverse it again..
Pitch shift the voice down (not too much). Then, apply the reverse reverb trick, keeping your printed reverb separate (record only the reverse wet signal). Pitch the reverb down a bit more. Bring everything back forward and mix up that satanic reverb to taste. Try treating the voice and its reverb differently. I find that creates unsettling effects very fast.
If you have H-Delay from Waves it has a preset named something like Evil
Use the pitch shifting and using reversed verb pitch down it’s very effective also added ultra short delay with feedback to give it metallic quality and lo-fi to break it up bit.
Try GRM Tools.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
