Discord voice changer
VoiceChange is a free desktop app that changes your voice live in Discord voice channels, calls and Stage channels. It runs on your own computer with about 25 ms of delay, so friends hear the new voice as you speak.
Setup takes a minute: the app installs a virtual microphone, and you choose that microphone in Discord.
How to use a voice changer in Discord
- Download VoiceChange free from the desktop app page (Windows, macOS on Apple Silicon, or Linux) and open it.
- Click Set up virtual mic. The app installs a free virtual microphone in one step (BlackHole on Mac, VB-CABLE on Windows, a PipeWire/PulseAudio virtual mic on Linux).
- Pick a voice and switch it on with the power button or Space. Talk and watch the trace to check it works.
- In Discord, open User Settings → Voice & Video and set Input Device to BlackHole 2ch (Mac), CABLE Output (Windows) or the VoiceChange virtual mic (Linux).
- Talk. The people you are with hear the new voice about 25 ms after you speak, which is too short to notice.
Discord settings that help
- Turn off Discord's Noise Suppression (Krisp) or set it to Standard: it can treat the changed voice as noise.
- Leave Echo Cancellation on if you use speakers; use headphones if you can.
- If Discord cuts your first words, lower Input Sensitivity or use push to talk.
Want to try voices first?
You can try the effect voices live in your browser on the home page before installing, and hear the AI voices on the desktop app page. The browser version only plays back to you; Discord needs the app.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. The VoiceChange desktop app and its voices are free, with no account, trial or watermark.
Will it slow down my game?
No. It uses about a quarter of one CPU core and no graphics card, so games keep their frame rate. If your computer is busy, the Steadier setting uses less CPU for 13 ms more delay.
Is my voice uploaded anywhere?
No. The AI runs on your own computer, so your audio never leaves it.
Does it work on the Discord mobile app?
No. VoiceChange runs on Windows, macOS and Linux computers. On a phone, you can make voice clips on voicechange.io and send them as files.
Why can't my friends hear the new voice?
Check that Discord's Input Device is the virtual mic (BlackHole 2ch or CABLE Output), not your real microphone, and that the voice is switched on in VoiceChange.
