How to distort VOICE from ANONYMOUS source in Pr? (No pitch shifter)

How would you protect the identity of an anonymous source by distorting his voice?

 

I see TONSSSS of videos recommending to use PITCH SHIFTER to lower the voice, HOWEVER, lowering the pitch is as easy as increasing it. So using the same technique allows you to check the original voice very easily therefore compromising your source's identity.

 

Adobe Audition has an option to transform the voice into something a bit more 'robotic' but I just wanted to check what could be use within Premiere?

 

Thanks all!

To distort a voice I allways use TWO PITCH SHIFTER, one with a a 0,75 value and the other with 1,35 value. Then I blend them with the original making it impossible to restore the voice.

*SOLVED*

Distorted voices using pitch shifter alone were too easy to restore. So by adding Analog Delay with a 'Robot voice' preset, it turns out to be kinda hard to bring back the original voice.

By far the most effective option to protect an anonymous source identity!
