Voice Candy (currently version 1.2) is an application developed by Potion Factory with one aim in mind. Make recording your voice simple.

Voice Candy Main Window

In Voice Candy, there are eight different sound effect settings, as well as normal being a selectable option.

To start recording all that needs to be done is the big red button in the bottom left needs to be hit and you’re away. When you’re done, just hit it again and the recording will stop. You can listen to what you just recorded by clicking the play button next to the record button.

While Voice Candy contains an effect called “Vader”, the ominous breathing sound isn’t automatically added. The mouse sound effect sounds like the mice in the movie “Babe” and “Phone” sounds like the person is actually talking to you over a telephone.

If you are happy with your recording, hit “Save to…” and you are given options of where you can save it to, including the Desktop and iTunes. You can even save the recording to play at a certain time, theoretically being able to be used for reminders.

This could be a very useful tool for filmmakers who wish to replace dialogue, or give it a certain effect.

While voice recording is all Voice Candy does, at just $12.95 USD, you can’t really go wrong.

A 15 day trial is also available from the product page.

Requirements:

Mac OS X 10.4 or later
