Sound like a Dalek or Cybermen

Ever wanted to sound like a Dalek or the Cybermen from Doctor Who, follow this short tutorial to find out how you can do it using Audacity.

Requirements:

• Audacity
• killeringer plug-in (Find out how to install plug-ins on to Audacity on our tutorial, which can be found here)
• Microphone

Record your Dialogue!, Make a recording of what you'd like to be transformed into a Dalek or Cybermen voice. Do any cleaning up you think is necessary (e.g. noise removal). Now highlight your recording and go to Effect > Killeringer, you should now be shown a pop-up box with three options of Root-pitch, Speed and Amount.

Insert the following amounts (using either the slider or typing in on the text boxes):
Dalek:

• Root-Pitch: 0.03
• Speed: 0.01
• Amount: 0.01

Cybermen:

• Root-Pitch: 0.033
• Speed: 0
• Amount: 0

[Note: these are only the basic amounts, you may need to adjust slightly according to your voice]

Press OK and go to Effect > Normalize to increase the sound of the audio; then play!

Congratulations, you now are a Dalek or Cyberman!!!
