Voice changer for Linux
Real-time voice changers for Linux are rare. VoiceChange runs natively on 64-bit Linux, as an AppImage for any distro or a .deb for Ubuntu and Debian, and sets up a virtual microphone for Discord, OBS, Zoom and games in one click.
How to use a voice changer in Linux apps
- 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, OBS, Zoom or your game, choose the VoiceChange virtual microphone as the input. It works with both PipeWire and PulseAudio.
- Talk. The people you are with hear the new voice about 25 ms after you speak, which is too short to notice.
System requirements
- 64-bit x86 Linux (x86_64).
- PipeWire or PulseAudio (most current desktop distros use one of them).
- AppImage (96 MB) for any distro, or a .deb (18 MB) for Ubuntu, Debian and derivatives.
Running the AppImage
Make it executable with chmod +x VoiceChange-*.AppImage, then run it. Some distros need the libfuse2 package for AppImages.
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.
