Old-Styled Walkie Talkie like Sound Effect

[deathreaperz]

Hello, everyone.

First, I am new here, so I might need guidance.
I am a fan of a game called Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2, and I decided to mod it. Some of my units needs new voiceovers from voice actors, and some of them contributed to the mod.

My question is, how do I make a Walkie-Talkie effect that is almost perfect like the game does?
Here is examples of voiceovers with walkie-talkie effect that the Game use:
idesmod.wav

iconmob.wav

igisee.wav​

Here is an example of a voiceover for a unit in my mod with no filters (RAW), voiceover by https://www.georgeexley.com/

Invader - Select 1.mp3

I have tried methods, but I can't give even a similar fashion. Hoping more in this community to help me.

I had a similar issue for a play I was designing sound for a couple of months back.  I played with lots of clicks, recorded hiss and EQ to limit the frequency range.  I got it close, but...

In the end I miked up one walkie talkie in my home studio and had the voice actors stand in an adjacent room and transmit their lines from a second walkie talkie.  Sometimes simple works.

If for some reason you can't do it that way, you can download radio "hiss" from a number of different sound effect web sites.  Add this on top of the voices on which I used the telephone filter (under Effects/Filter and EQ/FFT Filter.  From memory I played slightly with the frequencies by ear.  A fraction of a second of extra loud static on each mic press can finish the job.

I think I prefer this method!

Looks good but 49 Euros is a lot of Aussie dollars!  Since this was the first time in memory I've needed a walkie talkie effect...

I must admit that for a one-off, I would have either faked it up or used your method. Certainly here, you can purchase a real pair of walkie-talkies for less than the cost of that app! (And they'd probably be more useful - mine are...)

[Bob_Howes]

Yeah.  I have four walkie talkies that I use during set up and to talk to my backstage A2 when doing a complex show.  I doubt I would have bought a pair just to create the effect but, as I had them in the cupboard...

When I said 'less than', I hadn't looked for a while. The cheapest pair I can find now costs £1.49. No, that is not a mis-type. Downside is that the postage costs £2.49... go figure!
