Voice alterations with Audition

Hey guys,

This is my first post in the Audition area of the forum.

I come from a Garageband background (mainly 6, not the crappy new version).

Bearing in mind I probably have some stuff to learn, how good is this software at mimicking voices?

If not, is there a plugin?

Reason being, I'm creating a song parody of a Kendrick Lamar song as a Christmas present. Aside from practicing sounding like him, are there any resources you would recommend?

I'm sorry if this is too vague or annoying of a question.

Thanks!

Well, there's not automatic "make me sound like somebody else" option, otherwise I could have a great career as a vocalist!

Seriously, your best bet is to try and imitate the style you want--phrasing, pronunciation, etc.. as best as you can. Then you can use tools like the Pitch Changer in Effects/Time and pitch to alter your voice into the same vocal range as the person you're imitating. Also, creative use of EQ can make you sound quite different. Finally, listen carefully to the recording you're trying to imitate and try to copy things like the amount of reverb used, compression, etc.
