Do VTubers Use a Voice Changer

When you are watching your favorite VTuber stream, you might get confused sometimes by the unnatural-sounding voice of the VTuber, and you might wonder, “Do VTubers use a voice changer?”.

You might be wrong, as most of them don’t, but some do. Got confused? Don’t worry! As in this article, we will list down the VTubers that use the voice changer and what voice-changing software most of them use. Now without wasting your time, let’s get straight into it.

Which VTubers use voice changer?

You might get surprised by how most of the VTuber are naturally talented in changing their voice. You should know that the most popular VTubers, especially the VTubers from Hololive and Nijisanji, are professional voice actors, so it isn’t a problem for them to sound like typical anime characters. And then there is an exception, Ironmouse. She doesn’t have a normal-sounding voice due to the MAC lung disease and a childhood virus (aggravated by her being more seriously ill) that left her speechless for a whole year. 

That said, some of the VTubers do use a voice changer, and they are listed below:

• Nora Cat
• Ojiki
• Comdost

All In One – Voice Changing Software

All In One Voice Changer is relatively old software. Online chatting was the purpose of its development, but over time it became a valuable tool for streaming on Twitch and YouTube. It is a paid software with a free trial, but that isn’t much of use as it comes with the premium feature disabled, and free features aren’t worth the installation.

Should you be using a voice changer as a VTuber?

Well, it all depends on you; if you are moving into a VTuber career with a plan and a serious mindset, then you shouldn’t, as it would make it difficult for you to collaborate with other VTubers or any other streamer in real life. You would have to go through a “Real voice reveal” and stuff like that for any collaboration to happen, and this is the main reason that Hololive and Nijisanji VTubers don’t use voice changers.

If you are in it just for the sake of fun, then yeah, voice changer does provide opportunities to create fun and entertaining content.

Conclusion

Voice changers are a great way of having fun with your friends. While voice-changing software for VTubing, when used the right way, is a content-creating machine as it provides a lot of possibilities and scenarios where you can entertain your viewers with a push of a button on your keyboard.
