Hi everyone, for a theatre show I've been asked to make an actor's voice sound like coming through a radio from really far away. It is a science fiction show so they are looking for a really low and metallic sound, something like a robot voice. The effect has to be really strong, not subtle. We are using a Behringer X32 and the actor would use a dedicated wired handheld microphone. Is there a way of achieving this kind of effect using a combination of the built-in effects and EQs of the console?

If not, is there some kind of free software that runs on a computer (I have both Windows and Mac) that can apply that effect in real time? In this case I could then use the internal USB audio interface of the console to make the audio from that microphone pass through the computer.

I think this is a situation that happened to many sound techs before, but I could not find any info online. Many thanks in advance for the help!
