FakeYou gives you the voice of Homer Simpson and tons of other celebrities.
Voice changers have always been very popular. Perhaps the most well-known method of altering your own voice is to inhale helium. The changed timbre actually almost always causes roaring laughter.

Sound like the original Homer Simpson thanks to FakeYou
The operators of FakeYou website have now come up with a particularly funny method for text-to-speech output. Namely, you can enter any text there and let it output you with the voice of popular cartoon characters, singers, actors and many more. You can then send the file as a voice message, for example via Whatsapp or any other messenger service.
However, there is a catch: Europe speakers and voices are not yet included. However, that doesn’t spoil the fun. And nobody prevents you from entering a Europe text and having Homer Simpson and Co. audition you. It then simply sounds as if an American without any knowledge of Europe was reading a Europe text.
