3161: Voicemod: The AI Real Time Voice Changer

How is AI transforming the way we interact with sound, voice, and digital personas? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Alex Bordanova, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Voicemod, about the company’s groundbreaking approach to AI-driven voice transformation and its expanding role beyond gaming. Originally developed to enhance voice chat experiences for gamers, Voicemod has evolved into a powerful tool for real-time voice modulation, combining traditional digital signal processing (DSP) with cutting-edge AI. Alex shares how their technology enables users to alter their voice characteristics—changing timbre, pitch, and resonance—while maintaining clarity and intelligibility. With millions of users creating custom voices every month, Voicemod is at the forefront of AI-powered audio innovation. We discuss the launch of Voicemod Key, a new hardware solution bringing voice transformation to console gaming and VR, allowing seamless integration between microphones and gaming platforms. Alex also highlights the importance of ethical AI practices, emphasizing Voicemod’s commitment to using professionally recorded and consented datasets to train its AI models responsibly. Beyond gaming, Voicemod is forging partnerships with major entertainment brands, collaborating with Warner Bros, Rovio, and other global IP holders to bring iconic voices to life. As audio technology catches up to the advancements in visual media, what does the future hold for voice augmentation in entertainment, communication, and beyond?
