Introduction
I experimented with converting my voice using VOICEROID while chatting on Discord. Initially, I couldn't hear the transformed voice myself, so I researched how to enable this. I hope this is helpful for those starting as machine-voiced VTubers.
Setup Overview
The setup process involves the following steps:
- Record your voice via a microphone
- Convert the voice to text using Yukari-net
- Use VOICEROID to generate audio from the text
- Input the audio into VB-AUDIO
- Set this as the input device on Discord
Preparations
It's assumed that you have set up the flow from Microphone to Yukari-net to VOICEROID.

Configuring Virtual Audio Device
Next, in VOICEROID, go to Options → Others → Audio Device and select CABLE Input (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).
Then, in Discord, click the gear icon → App Settings → Voice & Video → Input Device and choose CABLE Output (VB-Audio Virtual Cable).
This allows you to converse with the VOICEROID voice on Discord. However, you still can't hear the transformed voice yourself yet.
Listening to Your Transformed Voice
On Windows 10, right-click the speaker icon 🔈 in the notification area (task tray) → Sound → Recording tab → right-click on CABLE Output → Properties → Listen tab → check Listen to this device.
Now, you can hear the transformed voice.
Conclusion
By substituting the Discord setting with VRChat, you can also converse in VR worlds!
