I want to record my voice and make it sound like the combine.Is there a way to do so?
 
i would just look for a program designed for voice/sound masks and filters, basily an adio editor, it might take some work to get it to sound like the combine, but its worth a shot
 
Yes, I have some experience doing this. While the stuff in my video isn't nearly as deep as the Combine (I needed people to understand what I was saying afterall!), it's using the same general principle. Your best bet is to do this:

1. Record your voice using as deep a voice as you can without sounding strained (this always sounds more natural than post-recording editing)

2. Find an audio editing program. I used Cooledit 2000, but I think that might be extinct now. If I recall, Adobe bought them out and renamed the software as Audition. I think Goldwave is pretty popular, should hopefully provide the functionality you need.

3. Find a .wav editor that can lower the pitch on your voice, but keep the tempo more or less the same. It may sound a little choppy (if it sounds REALLY choppy, you may need a different program), but that won't be too noticeable after the next step.

4. Lastly, you need to to run a frequency filter on your deepened voice file. This is what creates that helmet radio sound. You'll have to experiment with this. My filter blocked all frequencies below 450Hz and above 7350Hz, but I wasn't trying to sound exactly like the Combine either, you'll really have to figure it out on your own.
 
My cousin can do that voice naturally. With his throat. It's funny hearing him sprout a sentence while sounding like a Metro.

It sounds 95% athentic...except it isn't as 'eletric' as I would like.

after that, pass it through a distortion filter of some sort.. some sort of flanger or plain distortion?
