Twitter is Testing New Vocal Effects Options for Spaces, Which Could Help to Reduce Speaker Anxiety
A new article on Social Media Today says that if you're like most people, you probably don't enjoy hearing your own voice in recordings and playback. You always sound more nasal, higher-pitched than the voice you hear inside your head. The thing is, you just don't know about it till you hear it played back, and that, for many, can be jarring. In fact, it can even make some hesitant to take part in interviews, or in the case of more recent times, audio chats.
Now, Twitter is experimenting with a new set of voice-changing options for Twitter Spaces, which would enable you to filter your voice through a range of effects. The company's new 'Voice Transformer' tool would provide a range of different vocal effect filters for you to change how you sound in the app. Some people won't see any need for these tools, but others may like having the ability to change how they sound, while it could also be handy for audio plays and dramatic readings. Providing the capacity for a single person to perform multiple characters or to invite other readers into roles through the use of a specific filter.
Audio tools are enjoying something of a renaissance, with the rise of Clubhouse sparking a new wave of audio options in all the major apps, and TikTok making music and sound a key focus, shifting away from the traditional 'audio off' approach for most social apps. Facebook has also launched Soundmojis for Messenger and is working on a new Soundbites option for sharing audio clips.
With that in mind, Twitter's sound filters also line up with the current shift, and again, it could be a hugely valuable option that helps more users feel comfortable joining Spaces chats.
