How to Convert Voice to Robot Using Adobe Premiere Pro
From "Star Wars" to "Lost in Space," digital robot voices have been used for years. While it used to take thousands of dollars and special equipment to change voices, it can now be done in a matter of minutes with Adobe Premiere editing software. The audio effect "Flanger" can be applied to any audio clip to transform a normal human voice into an unrecognizable robot voice. The key to perfecting it is making the right adjustments as you edit the sound.
