Antares Audio Technologies has announced the release of Voice Thing!(http://antaresvox.com/voicething.html , an extremely affordable and easy to use PC application for changing voices in real time. Designed for online gaming, voice chat, VoIP, and video and podcast production, Voice Thing! can change a person's voice in an almost limitless variety of ways.

Based on technology developed for Antares pro audio voice processing applications, Voice Thing! requires only a microphone and any PC application that accepts audio input. Voice Thing! lets anyone subtly or radically change the character of their voice, turn their (audio) self into a monster or alien, or create the effect of being in a wide variety of sonic environments, from small rooms to huge halls.

With fun and ease-of-use as top priorities, Voice Thing! features a playful user interface that puts the power of Antares's advanced voice processing technology in the hands of any PC user.

With Voice Thing!, a user can:

• Change their voice with the same high-quality voice processing used in Antares's professional audio tools
• Raise or lower their voice with high quality pitch-shifting
• Radically change the quality and/or gender of their voice with Antares's unique vocal tract modeling technology
• Use the Mutation function to create a huge variety of monstrous, demonic, or other alternate-species voices
• Instantly translate everything they say into Alien
• Simulate a variety of environments, from a huge hall to a small room
• Choose from an extensive collection of included human, creature, and just plain weird voices
• Save a virtually unlimited number of their own creations
• Have some serious fun
