I'm doing sound on a 16mm student film. We need to figure out how to create God's voice. I'm thinking God's voice has a slight reverb and a lot of bass behind it. Any post tricks anyone has to offer? Any tips in general?
 
Use a voice-over guy who really has that kind of 'bass' sound. Compression and eq are your processor weapons...You could also try to pitchshift the sound down :thumbsup:
 
Or Richard Simmons... Go against the mold!

Just dump your audio into sound forge, play with pitch, chorus, eq, & compression... You will get it.

Dude, just get James Earl Jones. If there were ever a voice close to God's, it's his.

Wrong. James Earl Jones' voice IS the sound of God. They are still negotiating the contract though, but it is essentially a done deal. :thumbsup:

Did he have to fight with Don LaFontaine for it :)

And that Simmons guy looks like an ape in a tutu... Is he famous in the US?

To create the illusion of an impressive big stereo sound with good mono compatibility you will need to seperate the same audio on to 2 channels and adjust the miliseconds of both.

Adjust the playback timeline of the left channel say minus 30ms and the right plus 30ms.
so when you press play the first audio left will start playing followed by right

Our ear/brain naturally detects stereo spatiality like this but since your in digital land you can play God a little and muck about with this for a larger than life effect.

If you add too much spatiality it will loose its body.

Maybe even try a 3rd if you wanna go nuts but keep that centre with a low volume and without any time delay.
imo its best to try and get more out of less channels.

Also try adding a partially mixed delay effect to the right channel but dont turn up bass for a deep sound, that will poop a lot of cheap speakers.
Put the voice through a vocal harmonizer or pitch it down.

hope this is usefull.
 
Two words: David Kaye. You might not recognize the name, but google him and check out his website. He has the widest vocal range I've ever heard. He does a ton of radio imagine (if you're reading this post and you've ever listened to commercial radio in North America, you've heard David Kaye). He's in Vancouver, and he's the "voice of God" at the radio station I do TV spots for (check out the new ones on my website under the Screening Room tab).

Or you could get Morgan Freeman or reincarnate George Burns... God's got some range.
