Changing voice for privacy issues

Hi, I've interviewed a guy who wants his voice to be altered for privacy issues. It is a long interview, and very intense and emotional in content, so I'm trying to change the voice so he can't be recognised but at the same time keep it as natural as possible. I've tried playing around with pitch and the EQ, but not satisfied with the result. Any ideas?

 

Thanx

EQ won't disguise who is speaking - it's only really a pitch shift that will do that, and I've found that to be easier with female voices than male ones. One alternative you might want to consider is using an artificial voice (if you don't mind a lot of typing) - Audition can do that. And many of them don't sound as 'artificial' as you might think these days, if you take a bit of care with the punctuation. Alternatively, get somebody to revoice it - that generally works best.
