How should I edit a voice clip to make it sound similar to Adam's robot voice?

Question

I'm not looking for 100% accuracy, and I understand that the base voice is likely synthesized. I just want to get that really heavy robotic effect(s?) that the Dread AI has.

I am trying to remember. I think I had a plug in I could load into the free program Audacity. It basically tuned your voice to a single note which gave a sort of odd monotone, then it would be a matter of messing with reverb. I know the reverb plug in I used was Gverb. I can’t remember the main plugin. This was like 13 or so years ago.

I know there's a reverb option in there by default now, but I haven't used it. If it's not good enough, I'll check if Gverb's still around. Thank you!

Monotone delivery, maybe pitch correction/auto-tune to really drive home the artificial pitch, along with a higher frequency LFO modulating... something I can't quite tell (gives it that digital vocal-fry type sound). There's definitely some reverb there as well

I'll give that a shot, thank you!

A vocoder. Not auto tune

Thanks. I'll see if I can find one that sounds close.

Any 16 band one should do
