Is there a way with Adobe Audition to make your voice sound like Genji's? It shouldn't be difficult, but I can't exactly pinpoint what to do.....

(I also asked the same question on Yahoo Answers and got an incredibly comedic response actually)

I'm afraid I had to Google Genji to see how he sounds, but..

I think that 90% of the voice is having an actor who actually sounds a lot like that.  Of the rest, some of it is using either the proximity effect (speaking very close to a directional microphone to artificially boost the bass) or EQ for the same reason (or a mix of the two.  Finally, there's a bit of reverb on the voice.

That actually sounds like a good start. I'll look into it. Not all of the international voice actors for the respective character do sound like him though, so what matters is the set of filters used to create the effect

That's 95% actor, and 5% a combination of limiting and gating. No 'filters' as such, from the sound of it.

Then pardon me of my lack of audio terminology and comprehension in audio related eloquence then. I will explore what you said as well

And rather a lot of recording room acoustic as well.

Hey, I just read it one year later ^^

I think maybe the --> Modulation --> Chorus/Flanger --> Select Chorus and then preset: Heavy Chorus. That gives kinda the robotic/cyborg voice you're looking for. It's really close. Although you can experiment with the effect or presets.


Have a nice day!
