Make stereo voice sound like analog from 70's movies

Hi, I have a voice over that is recorded in a high quality, normal voice and I would like to make it sound like a voice from 70's movies. Sort of gritty, analog sound. What should I tweak in Soundtrack Pro?
Here are the examples of the sound I'd like to achieve:

Many thanks

If I only had stock STP effects to use, I would attempt this with a combination of EQ, Compression/Limiting, and a tiny bit of Overdrive or distortion.
Use the EQ to roll off the high frequencies a bit, experiment with compression to get the right punch, and very subtle Overdrive to try to imitate the tape grit.
Have fun!

How can I make my voice sound like Obama?

I am new to this software and I have a project in which I need to turn my voice into Obama's. Any help would be much appreciated...

Software can't do this for you. It may be able to help a little by adjusting certain frequencies and applying a little pitch adjustment. But you have to find the correct delivery and tone to perform the voice. That's how impressionist acts earn their money.

Hi,
I have the same issue on my HP Win8 desktop.My voice is disguised as chipmunk to the other party. I can hear everybody fine. I followed the exact instruction and tried search for the folder named "Skype" through writing %appdata% in the Search /Run box as I've read in the previous post, but it did not find a such folder. I don't have a problem using Skype on my laptop supported by Win 7. Anybody out there knows how to fix this? I reinstalled Skype and still the same.
What is the version of Skype program installed on your computer? In Skype go to Help -> About Skype.

My voice sounds like helium

Hi, everyone. To compensate for my Mac microphone troubles, I hooked up my mic to a wheezing Linux laptop and recorded a WAV of my voice. I imported it to Garage Band, but when I played the track my voice sounded as if I had just inhaled a large quantity of helium. Evidently, while trying to get my microphone to work a few nights ago, I modified some setting which caused this, without knowing I'd done it.
Any ideas as to how I might be able to fix this?

I don't have an answer for your question but I just had to tell you the title made me laugh for an hour. Usually it's me saying my voice sounds like something other than helium! I want you to know, you made my day. Music is awesome!

Voice sounds like chipmunks when I use my headphones, how can I fix that?

I have a MacBook Air and a Cinema display. Sound is fine but When I use my headphones for chat (YM), our voices sound like chipmunks. How can I fix this? I appreciate any help.

It is plugged-in. I tried it with several headphones and it still the same chipmunk voice. I even used my wireless headphones but no luck.

Is there a way to make my guitar sound like other instruments?

Hey, I was wondering if there is some way to make my guitar sound like other instruments, for example a string arrangement, or a violin? I remember when I was little my uncle had an effects box that did this (he could make his guitar sound exactly like a violin!) but I was wondering if there is a software avenue to do this with. If not in garage band then what other program? Thanks!

you can use a Guitar to MIDI converter.
This way you can use a Software instrument in GB instead of the sound of your guitar.
I haven't any experience with these, so don't want to recommend one or another.
Here are a few I found googling 'Guitar + MIDI + Converter'
AXON AX 100 MK II
Roland GR33
YAMAHA G50 Guitar MIDI Converter
Shadow SH-075
You can also buy guitar with MIDI out built-in!

What sound filter to use to make a mans voice sound like he's outside.

Hello, I have several ADR files of people talking. I need to add a filter to make it sound like they are talking outside. Any specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try something like this, adjust to taste:
Note that this will drop the volume of the track substantially, you will need to adjust the clip level after you've applied the effects.

How do you make a voice sound "creepier" in SP

Anybody know a process filter or group of filters to make voices sound creepier?
Thanks.

can you be more specific? creepier how? what style creepy?
Use EQ to filter out the higher and/or mid frequency bands. If you need person to sound like they are speaking on telephone, preset is there.
Use the vocal transformer plugin. Some good presets there.
Subtle use of distortion plugins or Guitar Amp plugin
Space designer - try some warped effects.

Making sound sounds like coming from inside

Hi there,
I am trying to make a sound recorded inside sound like it is heard from outside (in the street). Any suggestion about a good filter?
Thanks,
JCD

You might just try adding some 'street sounds' as audio background. You can acquire sound effects libraries for this or simply take your camera/recorder outside and turn it on...monitoring with headphones for optimum sound. A good mic doens't hurt.
If you have 'roomy' sounding audio...reverb/echo, they'll be a challenge to filter out...hopefully the 'street sounds' will help cover this.

Make clean ADR sound like a large room

I'm a newbie to Soundtrack Pro and could use some help.
I have ADR that I need to adapt to sound like the live footage.
We recorded in a large, empty storage room with 3 metal and 1 concrete wall (wall info just for specificity).
I taped ADR in a small, normal room with the actor close to the mic. It sounds crisp and clean. It doesn't sound like the large room recordings.
Is there a specific effect, or a chain of effects I can use to create this sound?
Thanks.

Just an additional tip for the future, but try to get the same mic used in the original recording when doing adr, and avoid the temptation to mic it like it's a voice over, cause all the reverb in the world won't turn a very present recording into a location sounding one.
Having said that the previous advice is good.

SB Audigy2 ZS PCI+Logitech Headset= Voice sounds like its under water

I tried using my Logitech Headset this evening on my desktop to communicate with my buds over mumble while playing BF3 and no matter how many settings I messed around with in both Win7 x64 or the mumble software my voice was crackled and distorted. Now I know for a fact my headset is not the problem, since I use it daily on my laptop at work to talk to people over Skype & GoToMeeting and I'm crystal clear and I even plugged it back into my lappy afterwards and listened to myself speak, and it was fine. The problem must be with the Sound Card. Is this something to do with the settings or is this a sign my card/drivers are bad?

Hi,
Disconnect your headset and just plug in a microphone and do a microphone recording. Playback what you have recorded, do you sound like you are underwater? That will narrow down if it's the sound card that's causing the problem. Also try running other games to see if same problem is happening.

I am making an short film and i whant to make a vocal sound like it comes from a bottle. Can someone help me?

I dont know how i am going to do it, I havet worked much in audition before so i dont know how to do it. I am guessing it is some type of reverb but i dont know whats the best and stuff like that. And thanks for the help .

How are you positioning the viewer/listener? To be inside or outside the bottle? How will your visuals support that action? If you want some creative license and your listener is outside the bottle, add a slight whistle, or the low drone one hears as if you were blowing across it. Add a notch filter to the fx rack and try the 60Hz Octaves preset for start. That will add a little convincing whistle reflection to the voice. If inside, then it's room small dynamics and playing with reverb, (as Bob suggests).
Direction also plays a roll when you change the angle of the viewer relative to the bottle. That is, the voice is more clear if you listen directly overhead of the opening verses being muffled from the side. A good starting point for a muffled effect would be to use the "underwater speech" present available in the FX rack. It will load chorus, parametric eq and reverb into the rack, set to a good baseline to start from, and don't forget to add the notch filter at 60Hz for added effect.
When inside the bottle or listening directly overhead, disable the parametric eq for clearer sound, then add it back in when listening from outside, through the glass. Give it try and tweak as needed.
