I want to record my screen while I talk, but I would like to distort my voice like they do in the anonymous videos, to retain my anonymity. How can I do that? I’d rather not use a TTS engine as it would be difficult to synchronize the sound with the video of the screen. I just want to distort my voice enough so that people close to me couldn’t tell it’s me, assuming they aren’t experts and manage to reverse the voice distortion. And how do I share the video online without leaking my IP?
And, in a not so private way, what about real time streaming? I’ve seen a person who changed his voice and image so that it seemed as if Rocket from Guardians of the Galaxy was talking to you.
Anonymous, and people who make Anon videos use a voice synthesizer (like Hawking, Siri, etc) so that there is no human fingerprint to it, but fsociety videos from Mr. Robot use human voices. YouTube has some guides that will show you how to do similar effects with Audacity. Just YouTube search for “audacity voice distortion.”
Voice changer can be cracked once you know the used algorithm, I am mention it in case you try to do some shady stuff.
As for the question to avoid leaking your IP, normal VPN will do.

Better by what standards. Because you say so, nope. VPN is more than enough for this purpose, even Proxy will do unless the server side connection is not HTTPS.
Then you must carefully choose your VPN and blindfully trust that they’re not logging anything about you.
I agree here, but that basically goes for everything, there are also malicious proxies, tor nodes, infected servers in general and whatnot.
Yeah, I was just trying to say that the core concept of tor suits the case better but of course everything can be compromised
Isn’t that exactly what you are doing when using TOR? Those nodes can be compromised just as anything else can.
As I said, yes everything can be compromised but at least tor nodes aren’t run by companies (at least not every one). Also tor has been made to anonymize users, It’s not the first purpose of a VPN. But as always we all must make some compromises.

I’m not saying you’re wrong because I’m not a security professional, but a nation state actor or other adversary is likely to watch an entry node, in which case, there is little you can do because they can (and historically have) attach payloads to your traffic. Here is a really good article on the matter, but it’s over 5-years old at this point: https://www.vice.com/en/article/4x3qnj/how-the-nsa-or-anyone-else-can-crack-tors-anonymity

Yeah, these are all good points. Tor is undoubtedly going to be better than a VPN.

ProtonVPN for example works without any money, it is a free VPN, same like CalyxVPN, so you do not get to decide what is - best - because there is no best. We are not having a debate about Tor Vs. VPN here, for his purposes a VPN, even Proxy will do, as said. Nothing to argue here. Just inform yourself better.
