Overview

I originally made this mod because hearing a high pitched Irish lass's voice from a big lizard woman was quite immersion breaking. I haven't quite succeed there, BUT, it's especially good if you're using the half-super mutant Cait mod. Or if you just like lower pitched female voices in general. Cait's a cage fighting chem addict, she shouldn't sound like that Irish girl who did the dub work for every female Irish character in every 90s anime. You know the one.

The end result of my meddling is a Cait who sounds like this:



Now that sounds much more like an Irish Gladiatrix is you ask me!

Others, not so much. So I'm going to do a few other versions all in this same vein.

Currently there is also this medium pitched version.



Installing

The only way I could find to make this mod work is to simply put the loose files into your Data folder. It may work just fine with Mod Organizer 2 if you manually install it.

Process

If you want to play with tweaking character's voices yourself, it's not difficult at all! You will need a program to unpack b2a files (I like BSA Browser), a program to extract the audio file from the fuz file (.fuz files store the audio file and animation data, Unfuzer is best for this. Don't worry about it being on the Skyrim Nexus. It
works just fine for Fo4 too.), then a program to do audio editing. For this, use Audacity because it can do batch file processing and you do NOT want to manually tweak 1900 files.

Once you have those programs, extract the audio from the Fallout4 - Voices b2a file, preserving the folder structure within the archive. Unfuz the files to get the wav audio free and extracted. From there, load an audio file at random into Audacity and tweak it however you like, but be certain to remember exactly what you did (Youtube has plenty of tutorials for voice effects using audacity). Once you have it the way you like, go to tools > macros... and use the macro menu to make a
macro which will preform the steps you just did. At the very end of this macro, add "export as wav". Now click on files, select a big chunk of the voice lines, and hit okay.

Audacity docent like to bulk process many files at once. Do 200 or so at a time. Once you're done, simply take the contents of the macro-output folder (created within the directory you extracted the audio files to) and overwrite the orgional audio files with your modded ones. Now simply refuz with Unfuzer, and you're done.

Merely by placing the loose audio files into your Fallout 4/Data folder in their correct subfolders will cause the game to use those audio files instead of the archived ones. Now go out there and make anything you wanna! I'll be here trying to make Ada sound like a female version of a 40K dreadnaught alla Dawn of War 2.

Example Settings

I made the orgional low voice file by extracting her dialogue's audio files, lowering her voice's pitch by 13%, changing the temp so her speech is 2.7% slower, boosting her bass by 6 db, and then applying an equalization curve that emphases the highs and lows while diminishing the mids.
