a)know how to make my voice seem really squeeky and such like the user 'fred' does?
b)anyone got any ideas for a new original series or something?

Do you mean squeeky like really high as if a recorder was palying at double speed or something?

If that's what you mean, I think you'll find they mostly inhale a whiff of 'helium' gas (you know the gas they fill party ballons with to make them float or rise up). It usually does the trick. I've seen it done on tv quite a lot of times.

I don't know if there's also a way they can reproduce it electronically though.

Hope this helps, Kayar. X

Reproducing it digitally is done by speeding up the clip in your editor.
Helium can be bad for you if you use it too often, say more than like
a few times every 10 years.

If you want to do something original and creative, DO NOT make another Fred imitator video. He's freakishly annoying to me, I can't stand to hear him speak, and I can't say much for people who mirror him instead of making their own ideas.

I agree, I was subscribed to his channel until I woke up to reality. He has the same subscribers (give or take a few) as someone I watch, so he probably still does it for the income (the person makes $100,000 a year talking to a camera every friday).

Try doing something fresh, I'm a little tired of hearing squeeky voices on YouTube (chipmunk songs, mostly).

There can only be one Fred to rule them all.
