WoW Forums: How do I mask my voice in voice chat?

Apparently, there’s more than one way to enjoy World of Warcraft‘s recently integrated voice chat feature from patch 2.2.0, at least if you follow Redcrystol’s lead. The gamer explained that he played as a female character, and in the days prior to having voice chat, he used to get plenty of freebies by sweet-talking (or is texting a better word?) other players into thinking he was a girl IRL.

The problem was, come WoW‘s integrated voice chat, Redcrystol found that using this new feature gave away the fact that he’s a dude. The thread poster further asked if there was a way to mask his real voice.

Blizzard spokesman Tigerclaw dropped by a little later explaining that if Redcrystol had  analog audio input for his microphone, WoW allowed the use of various voice-disguise devices. Mighty nice of Tigerclaw to point this out, especially given that this wasn’t pointed out in the official Voice Chat.

The thread was further backed up by opinions of two distinct opinions: guys who were either against Tigerclaw’s advise (they were apparently fooled into giving out free loots), or guys who gave their own suggestions for voice-masking devices.
