This could be a new trend in radio. If only Sulfur Hexafluoride were available here at the station, then I could sing like Barry White.

Sulfur Hexafluoride is a chemical manufactured in New Jersey. It's used for welding as sparks won't fly through it. It's a safe gas that won't react with anything in your body or displace oxygen. Wikipedia says as with all gasses, the density of SF 6 affects the resonance frequencies of the vocal tract, thus changing drastically the vocal sound qualities, or timbre, of those who inhale it. 

Things you can do with a creepy voice:

  • Be the star of a murder mystery
  • Work at a haunted house
  • Freak out the person working the drive-thru
  • Call in sick at work
  • Take care of that bully on the playground
  • Go to Uticon as Darth Vader

You could sound like:

  • Brad Garrett
  • James Earl Jones
  • Keith David
  • Vin Diesel
  • Sylvester Stallone
