I need a VST plugin to convert Keanu Reeves's voice to Freddy Krueger

[GetReady4Freddy]

After I explained this on Reddit, I got downvoted. But I'm serious. I have a voice that sounds almost exactly like Keanu Reeves. I can't help it. No matter how much I try to change the pitch of my voice. The problem is, I have wanted to stream a horror themed broadcast for awhile now. I've only recently had the misfortune of hearing my voice recorded on Audacity through a decent microphone. My voice needs to sound like the deep tone of Freddy Krueger. If it could be done for Robert Englund with his higher pitch, why not me?

I have tried looking up VST plugins on YouTube. There are many great ones explained, but only for eliminating background tones below the decibels of one's voice and other types of noise reduction. I need to be able to lower my pitch until it sounds right. Any suggestions?

First thought is Zynaptiq Morph, check out the 'voice' examples in the trailer -

You might also want to try the 'formant' controls on some pitch shifters (e.g. https://www.meldaproduction.com/MAutoPitch ) to change the character of the voice rather than just the pitch

Correct me if I'm wrong and if you can send me to specific instructions to the contrary, but these seem like post-recording treatments. Ah. I think I forgot to tell you that I need to alter my voice live. I tried MAutoPitch in FL Studio 21. I thought I saw YouTubers displaying the uses of MAutoPitch seeming like they were live at the time, but it's very likely they treated their voices after recording. I must be live as my voice is morphed.

Voice acting.

Ah, ok.

There are lots of realtime pitch-shift plugins out there, but voices are a harder thing to keep sounding 'natural', especially the larger the degree of pitch-shift.

For live vocal processing, the plugins specifically designed for this sort of thing include Dehumanizer 2 by Krotos, Throat and/or Mutator by Antares (the makers of AutoTune) and IRCAM TRAX by Flux.

All of these do more than just pitchshifting, they also handle things like formant shifting etc which reflect how human voices actually work.

However performance will still have to be a big part of whatever you do; like Englund, you're going to have to find how best to speak to take advantage of the processing.
In other words, learn to talk deeper. If Elizabeth Holmes can do it, you can... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNEnWYyq_rM
If you cant work out how to speak with your own voice making it lower, plus rougher, more gutteral, look for some videos on metal 'death growls' for how they do those, there are some good ones that explain how to do so without stressing the vocal chords.

If you dont want to go down the route of the specialised plugins, definitely try different pitch-shifters, use layering, possibly including the original vocal, and distortion to roughen them up.
You could also try using a vocoder or morph type plugin to 'superimpose' the original voice more on the processed version.

Krotos Dehumanizer is what you want.

$400 is pretty damn pricey for Dehumanizer.

I’ve had pretty good results with AVOX Throat.

This may require some work, though.

are we overthinking this?
there's plenty of cheap, kids toys that do this. that you can put between your mouth and the mic as needed.

just saying...

[seangm]

I think Freakshow Industries will have you covered.

Soundtoys Little AlterBoy? I’ve never tried in real-time that I can recall, but you can easily transpose the pitch and formant down to get creepy voices.

Maybe some diy.

Talking into that tube would change your pitch.

Thanks for the suggestions and I'll check them out my first day off.

About the advice to voice act and try to get my voice right, I don't think that's going to happen. I already have tried for half a year in anticipation (a mask repair guy took that long). My problem is the sound I'm hearing is not the actual sound of my voice. If that makes sense. I mean, I sound like Freddy to my ears but not when I record myself. Maybe you can hear my attempts at being guttural. Or maybe someone can figure out the perfect live pitch or formant change I should be looking for if they want to play around with the sound.

The following is not spam (But if mods don't like it, I'm cool with taking it off). Just an .mp3 I've uploaded. This is me reading John Wick quotes trying to sound like Freddy instead. My ears are too unreliable.
