When staging a play or other staging, it may be necessary to speak in a bass. But what if the actor's voice does not meet these requirements?
Instructions
Step 1
Try to simply say the words in a lower voice than you normally do. Practice shows that almost everyone can independently change their voice. Moreover, when imitating bass, in contrast to imitation falsetto, the vocal cords almost never get tired, even if you speak in such a voice for a long time.
Step 2
Technical means open up additional possibilities for changing the timbre of the voice. For this, even a conventional tape recorder can be used if it has a tape feed speed switch. Basically, such a switch is found in reel-to-reel tape recorders, but sometimes it is also found in cassette recorders. To get a bass voice, play the phonogram at a slower speed than the one at which it was recorded. Note, however, that the tempo will slow down at the same time, so when recording, speak a little faster than necessary.
Step 3
There are devices for changing the timbre of the voice without changing the tempo of speech. They are analog and digital. The first of these consist of a single-sideband modulator and a demodulator. By changing the frequency of the local oscillator in the demodulator, you can change the timbre of the voice. The second devices process the signal according to a complex algorithm using the so-called digital signal processors. When using any of these devices, simply speak into the microphone, having previously set the knob to the desired amount of timbre shift.
Step 4
It is most convenient to change the timbre of the voice using a computer. Use any audio editor for this, for example, the free and cross-platform Audacity program. It allows you to change the timbre both together with the tempo, similar to a tape recorder equipped with a speed switch, and separately from it, like the special device described above, using single-sideband modulation followed by demodulation.
