New Voice Changing Software
Voice can be a contentious issue in virtual worlds. Many MMOs rely on it. It probably wouldn’t be possible to participate in the “end-game” in World of Warcraft and EVE Online without benefit of a VoIP app like TeamSpeak or Ventrilo. Using voice in Second Life is becoming more common, especially for making presentations. But many residents of virtual worlds shy away from it because they perceive it to be anonymity-breaking. A number of apps let you mask or change your voice in order to avoid this problem, the latest of which is linked from Gamasutra and is available for free from a company called Screaming Bee. Personally, I don’t need this kind of thing, since I don’t mind people hearing my voice. But do we think it will be popular among those who do?

I don’t think we need it either, but this would be awesome for playing practical jokes on the summer help at drive-throughs.
They’ve updated quickly since my post on their software just a few months ago.
Windows only. Bah.
