Vocal Effect - Wearing A Glass Helmet

[jgiannis]

Hi.

What effect or parameters would you use to make a voice sound like it is coming from inside a glass helmet? The helmet would be fully enclosed, like a submarine or astronaut helmet.

I think the high end should be shelved, but maybe there should be a resonant frequency somewhere towards the low or middle range. Would you agree?

Thanks!

massive comb filtering would be occurring.

I'd look at a verb and use only the early reflections and make the space as small as possible.

You could demo or buy this. https://www.audioease.com/Pages/Spea...akerphone.html

Yeah a comb filter sounds right.

But I'm having a hard time finding one in the WAVES bundle. I have a ton of WAVES plugins, yet can't seem to find a simple comb-filter. Google searches aren't turning up good results.

Any idea what a good plugin would be to apply a comb filter?

You won't find a specific plugin called a comb filter but there are plugins out there that do such. Read up on what comb filtering really does and you may be able to cobble one together software wise. Take a look at McDSP Futzbox - they have demos.

Here's a link to a KVR thread about comb filtering: https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3903161

Or record some speaking in a helmet with a lavalier!

A tupperware bowl in front of the speaker miced with a 57 inside. Experiment until it sounds good.

Tupperware bowl being plastic won't have the same bounce/sound as a glass bowl. I remember doing these kinds of things when I was a little kid all those decades ago.

Are you saying that all Tupperware is plastic? If so, I'd like to complain on a few Christmas presents.

All Tupperware I've seen (and that's plenty) has been plastic.

Just kidding (partially)

However, the old "use your ears" applies. Plastic, glass, metal containers... what sounds believeable for the scenario?

Oh, and watch "Gravity". It's great!
