If someone shows up sounding completely different than they did in the interview then I think most people would assume that the candidate had someone else take the interview for them, resulting in a massive red flag.
- CameronNemo 4y agoSure, but if the interview was about actual qualifications and skills, then it should not matter. Even better, companies that were truly dedicated to diversity in hiring could remove names from any materials shown to interviewers and tell interviewees to use the same voice changer.

- nonrandomstring 4y agoPeople have a rather poor memory and recognition of voices they're not familiar with. By the time it's been through cellphone codecs (linear predictive coding that basically resynthesises your voice using a handful of parameters) it's a wonder we can tell one speaker from another. How we do it is to listen for other features of speech, accent and vowels, speed, rhythm, prosody, intonation, anomalies like glottal noise, dropped H's, nasal formant, murmuring diphongs.. the things that make us unique. Impressionists (mimics) learn those. If they're not present in the source signal it's not easy to change or add them unless you move the whole signal to an intermediate form (speech to text) and then resynthesis the whole show (TTS) via a full articulation model that has those anomalous features. If you get any good at this the people who you will piss-off are banks and folks who use voice as a blind authenticator (hint: your bank already does if you call them).
