i'm cutting my film in Final Cut Pro and I need to telephonise some voices...anyone know the best way to achieve this?

Cut the low and high frequencies.

Oh, and if you wanted to, you could downsample it: save as a very crappy quality, then just import that into FCP again.

Here are a couple of links to tutorials using what you already have in FCP:

for this one, it's near the bottom under the heading:
4. How To Make a Dialogue Track Sound Like It's Coming Over a Phone's Earpiece

I used the second one and liked how it came out.

You might try over compressing in addition to cutting lows and highs. If you have any distortion plug ins, definately do a little of that. I like the down sampling idea too.
