Any ideas?

Sounds like an obvious doubling effect and a limitless phase shifting/ flanging

or maybe just a mic inside his mask.

I think there also may be some sub-harmonic synthesizing going on, so that the vocal track is duplicated an octave or two below normal. Maybe even a little "excitement" going on (as in Aphex or something comparable done as a plug-in).

Its also performance and the mask. Plus the LCR thing really made him larger then life.

They used two plugins (don't waste your time trying to acquire them; these plugins are not available to general public): Darthvaderer and Seanconnerizer.

Great video. The voice references are at 5.40. They say they didn't do anything to the voice but there's something going on. Close micing, some LF stuff going on... it's like there's sub bass in his voice. Come to think of it, the mask does look a little like a yamaha subkick....

Well, however they did it it wasn't very good. Enjoyed the movie a lot but that voice was just arse pipe. Half the time couldn't understand whatever he said and half the time it just sounded like a cheap pitch effect.

Other than that... Bane was cool!!

Plus- I'm sure it was largely , if not all ADR.

If you look at the videoing soundworks, it does sound like they mainly used the originals done with a lav inside the mask. Thus intelligibility issues... Personally I don't think spreading it lcr would do anything easier to understand, just making it stand out more.

Does this means watching the film on a TV(L-R only) will change the impact of his voice effect compared to other characters? I also think there's some sort of pitch processing and it also seem like the left and right channels are delayed a couple of ms to create a "wider" illusion. Often used in music production.
Can't wait to hear it on a TV.
