ScriptVOX Studio provides an advance tool for adding special digital effects to
a voice. You can make your actor sound as if they were talking on a radio, telephone,
cavern or sound like a robot.
Each of these effects is fully adjustable and any of them can be stacked in combination.
This allows you to have full control over each effect and dramatically increased
the possible types of voices you can include in your story.
