How To Deepen Your Voice on Discord
Trying to sound more professional or just want that deep voice vibe while talking on Discord? Yeah, it can be done without dropping a ton of cash on fancy gear, but beware — nothing’s perfect and some tweaking might be necessary.
Step 1: Download the Clownfish Voice Changer
This is kinda the first move. Clownfish Voice Changer is free, simple to set up, and works kinda magic for making your voice deeper. Because of course, Windows has to make it harder than necessary, so get ready to mess with some settings.
- Open up your browser, and punch in clownfish-translator.com/voicechanger.
- Download the 64-bit version (unless you’re running on some ancient 32-bit system — then good luck). On some setups, the download doesn’t work the first time, so keep trying.
- Once it’s downloaded, do a quick run through the install. Follow all the prompts — click Next a bunch of times until it’s done.
Step 2: Install & Launch
After installation, just open the app. It might be hiding in your taskbar tray—look for the fish icon. If it’s not showing, you might need to restart your PC or re-install.
- Double-click the installer you downloaded, follow the install prompt — usually just next, next, finish.
- Run the program. On some machines, permissions might block it from starting, so run as admin if stuff acts flaky.
Step 3: Configure the Voice Changing Settings
This is where the fun begins — pick the voice effect to deepen your pitch. Why? Because it manipulates the voice in real-time, which helps achieve that beefier tone.
- Right-click the Clownfish icon in your taskbar, then select Set Voice Changer.
- Pick Male Pitch — that’s usually the one that gets you the deeper sound. Other options like robot or baby voice, yeah, those are just for laughs.
- Pro tip: Some folks find that adjusting the pitch slider a little more center or left/right can fine-tune your results — experiment until it sounds right.
Step 4: Microphone Settings & Checks
Best quality happens when your mic settings are aligned with Clownfish. It’s kinda weird, but your system’s mic input has to be set correctly; otherwise, it might mess with the voice changer or produce weird feedback.
- Go to Settings > Sound on Windows, then navigate to Input Devices.
- Select the microphone device you’ve set up with Clownfish. Sometimes, Windows doesn’t automatically switch to the right mic, so double-check it’s the one where Clownfish is active.
- On some setups, you might need to disable other microphone enhancements to prevent conflicts. This can usually be found in the microphone device properties under Enhancements.
Step 5: Testing Your New Deep Voice in Discord
Time to see if all this work pays off. Jump on a voice channel in Discord.
- Test by speaking into your mic. Listen to the results — if you’re not hearing the deep tone, tweak the Clownfish pitch or experiment with settings.
- If your voice sounds weird or distorted, double-check the input volume levels — no need to blow out your ears every time.
Extra Tips & Common Problems
Some issues pop up — like Clownfish not doing anything, or your mic suddenly no longer working as expected. A quick way to troubleshoot:
- Make sure Clownfish is running *before* you open Discord. Because of course, Windows has to make it more annoying than necessary.
- Check if Clownfish appears in your system tray. Sometimes, killing the process and restarting it solves weird glitches.
- If the voice doesn’t change, try changing your default communication device to the microphone you’re using in Settings > Sound. Sometimes Discord picks the wrong mic or ignores system defaults.
- For extra weirdness: disable any other voice effects or virtual audio drivers that could be interfering.
FAQ & Quick Tips
Can I use Clownfish with other apps?
Yeah, it’s not just Discord. It works with Skype, OBS, Teams — any app that uses your microphone. Just remember to select the same microphone where Clownfish is active in each app’s input settings.
Is it free?
Totally. No hidden charges. Just download it and mess around.
Will this mess up my mic quality?
If you tweak the settings right, not really. Just don’t blast the input volume, or you’ll get distortion — nobody wants that. Some trial and error might be needed.
Summary
- Download Clownfish Voice Changer from their official page.
- Install, run, and set your desired pitch.
- Check system and Discord mic settings for compatibility.
- Test, tweak, and enjoy your turned-up deep voice.
Fingers crossed this helps someone get that commanding voice without breaking the bank or tearing their hair out. Good luck!
