{{unreferenced|date=April 2014}}The term voice changer (also known as voice enhancer) refers to a device which can change the tone or pitch of or add distortion to the user's voice, or a combination and vary greatly in price and sophistication. A kazoo/didgeridoo can be used as a makeshift voice changer, though it can be difficult to understand what the person is trying to say. Hardware implementationsThe earliest voice changers were electronic devices usually used over the telephone for the purpose of disguise. There are low-priced, small lithium battery-powered voice changers that are used between a phone's mouthpiece and the user's mouth. More sophisticated voice changers have different levels of various distortion effects variable by faders. Software implementationsVoice changers can be found online, for a variety of operating systems. There are several popular types of voice changers. The available programs are capable of altering the pitch and timbre of the user's voice, applying special effects, and performing graphic equalization almost in real-time. Some good examples of software voice changers are Voicemod ([https://www.voicemod.net/ real time/online voice changer] with effects for gaming), Clownfish (freeware and Windows compatible) or Voxal (realtime voice changer). Appearances in media- Voice changers can be seen in various movies, including Scream, Saw, Super Troopers, Steel and a Talkboy voice changer was used in Lost in New York.
