Voice Changer for Zenless Zone Zero Agent Voices
A Zenless Zone Zero voice changer lets you bring New Eridu’s characters to life in Discord servers, Twitch streams, and cosplay videos — whether you are playing the cool-headed Belle, the deadpan Anby, the scheming Nicole, or the precise Ellen Joe. This guide walks through real-time setup, character-specific voice presets with EQ values, a comparison of EN and JP dub styles, and how to combine a soundboard with your voice persona for full ZZZ immersion. Setup takes under ten minutes and works without touching the game itself.
TL;DR
- A real-time voice changer routes through a Windows virtual mic — live in Discord, OBS, and ZZZ simultaneously.
- Five character presets covered: Belle (female Proxy), Wise (male Proxy), Anby Demara, Nicole Demara, Ellen Joe.
- EN and JP dub style differences noted for each character — they call for different preset tuning.
- Soundboard integration lets you trigger in-game lines on hotkeys mid-call.
- VoxBooster uses WASAPI with no kernel driver — anti-cheat safe alongside ZZZ.
- New Eridu’s urban sci-fi aesthetic makes ZZZ voice work some of the most stylistically distinct in gacha gaming right now.
Why Zenless Zone Zero Has a Distinctive Voice Scene
Zenless Zone Zero launched as HoYoverse’s urban action gacha — a street-level sci-fi world set in the hollow-infested city of New Eridu, where factions like Victoria Housekeeping, the Cunning Hares, and the New Eridu Police Department clash against an ever-expanding supernatural threat. Unlike the high-fantasy sweep of Genshin Impact or the space-opera scale of Honkai: Star Rail, ZZZ operates in the register of neon alleys, retro-futurist aesthetics, and grounded city politics. That aesthetic carries into the voice direction: characters sound more urban, more casual, and more distinct from each other stylistically than most gacha titles manage.
The result is a voice modding community with a clear identity. ZZZ cosplayers filming content in New Eridu-inspired sets need voices that land in two seconds. Discord roleplayers in ZZZ servers want to stay in character during Hollow Deep Dive discussions. Streamers want a voice persona that reads immediately to viewers who know the game. And content creators doing lore analysis lean on character voice-overs to add dramatic weight to their Hollow Zero speculation.
What makes ZZZ particularly interesting for voice changer work is the range across the character roster. Belle and Wise sit in a reserved, slightly detached register that mirrors the Proxy’s lore role as a calm center in a chaotic world. Anby operates in a nearly affectless deadpan. Nicole is bright and scheme-adjacent. Ellen is measured precision with warmth underneath. Each lives in a different part of the frequency and performance spectrum, which means good preset work produces genuinely different results for each character.
If you work with other HoYoverse titles, the techniques here transfer directly. The Genshin Impact Natlan voice changer guide and the Honkai: Star Rail Amphoreus guide cover comparable preset setups for those rosters.
How a Real-Time Voice Changer Works for Gaming
Before the presets, a quick architecture note for readers new to real-time audio.
A voice changer like VoxBooster installs a virtual audio device that appears in Windows as a standard microphone. You select that virtual device in Discord, OBS, or any other app. Your physical mic feeds into the voice changer process, which transforms audio in real time and outputs it to the virtual mic — the one your apps see. The chain is:
Physical mic → VoxBooster → Virtual mic → Discord / OBS / recording app
The entire pipeline runs locally on your machine. Nothing is sent to a cloud server; processing happens with sub-20ms latency on most mid-range CPUs, which keeps conversation natural. Because the virtual mic looks like any other audio input to Windows, game anti-cheat systems ignore it entirely.
For a full setup walkthrough covering the initial installation and virtual mic routing, the voice changer for streaming guide covers that step-by-step with OBS and Discord simultaneously.
The Proxy Siblings: Belle and Wise
The two Proxy characters — Belle (female) and Wise (male) — are the player’s stand-in in New Eridu. Their voice direction is deliberately cool and slightly reserved, conveying competence without ostentation. In lore terms, they are siblings running a VHS store while secretly operating as some of New Eridu’s most effective Hollow agents.
Belle (Female Proxy)
Belle’s voice sits in a natural mid-female register, with clean articulation and a tendency toward understatement. She is not the genki archetype; her reactions are calibrated, like someone who has seen enough of the Hollows to stop being surprised. The EN performance by Zuri Clarke leans slightly warmer and more grounded; the JP performance by Tomoyo Kurosawa carries more of the anime cool-girl register without losing the calm.
Preset starting point:
- Pitch shift: +1 to +2 semitones (female voice from a male source) or neutral (female source)
- High-mid presence (2-4 kHz): slight boost of +2 dB for clarity
- Reverb: minimal — 5-8% wet, small room; Belle sounds like she is in a room, not a cathedral
- Compression: moderate, ratio 3:1 — keeps the delivery consistent without flattening dynamics
JP vs EN difference: The JP version has slightly more restraint in the upper harmonics. If you are targeting the JP dub style, cut a little more at 4-6 kHz.
Wise (Male Proxy)
Wise is a mid-baritone with a relaxed, unhurried delivery. Aleks Le’s EN performance has a slight sardonic edge; Natsuki Hanae’s JP take is smoother and leans into the “capable young man” archetype more directly.
Preset starting point:
- Pitch shift: 0 to -1 semitones (natural male range or slight deepening from a tenor source)
- Low-mid body (150-250 Hz): boost +2 to +3 dB for resonance
- High-shelf: subtle cut above 6 kHz, -1 to -2 dB, to reduce brightness without going muddy
- Reverb: light, 5-8% wet — same room-scale reasoning as Belle
Anby Demara: The Deadpan Electrokinetic
Anby is arguably the most voice-distinctive character in the ZZZ main cast. Her delivery is nearly affectless — flat, dry, low-energy, with no performance inflation. She sounds like someone who has decided that enthusiasm is an inefficient use of bandwidth. In New Eridu, she is a street-level fighter whose electrokinetic abilities match her no-frills attitude.
This flatness is actually one of the more achievable presets for voice changer work because you are mostly subtracting character rather than constructing it.
Preset:
- Pitch shift: -1 to -2 semitones (to flatten and reduce brightness)
- High-mid cut (3-5 kHz): -3 dB — removes the expressive “presence peak” that makes voices feel engaged
- Low-mid (200-300 Hz): neutral or slight boost of +1 dB for a bit of dryness and weight
- Reverb: near zero — 3-5% wet maximum; Anby sounds like she is in an untreated room with no acoustic treatment
- Compression: higher ratio, 4:1 — reduces dynamics, which reinforces the flat affect
Performance note: The voice changer handles the acoustics; the performance requires you to consciously pull energy out of your delivery. Anby’s most recognizable lines are ones where a more expressive character would raise pitch at the end of a sentence and she does not. Match the preset with low-energy phrasing and you get the character immediately.
Nicole Demara: The Scheming Cunning Hares Boss
Nicole is the energetic counterpoint to Anby. As the leader of the Cunning Hares, she operates with bouncy enthusiasm that barely conceals a calculating mind. Her voice is mid-to-high female register with a lot of forward placement and brightness — the audio equivalent of someone who is always one step ahead and enjoying it.
Preset:
- Pitch shift: +3 to +4 semitones (from a natural female source) or +6 to +8 semitones (from a male source)
- Presence boost (2-5 kHz): +3 to +4 dB — Nicole’s forward, bright quality is mostly in this band
- High-shelf boost above 7 kHz: +2 dB for the “airy” quality that reads as youthful energy
- Low-cut below 120 Hz: remove the chest weight to keep the register light
- Reverb: light, 8% wet, small-to-medium room — Nicole sounds like she is in a busy room with ambient life
Performance note: Nicole’s vocal identity is partly in the rhythm — she tends toward sentences that accelerate and land on a bright note. The EQ preset gets you 70% there; the other 30% is pacing. On Discord, that translates to leaning slightly forward in delivery rather than holding back.
Ellen Joe: Calculated Calm with Warmth Under It
Ellen Joe of Victoria Housekeeping operates in a more sophisticated register than most ZZZ characters. She is the composed professional — a shark-girl (literally, part of the shark-themed HoYoverse design language) whose surface calm contains real warmth once you get past the precision exterior. Her voice sits in a controlled mid-female range with excellent articulation and almost no wasted vocal energy.
Preset:
- Pitch shift: 0 to +1 semitone (natural mid-female or minimal adjustment)
- High-mid presence (2-3.5 kHz): neutral to slight boost of +1 dB — clarity without brightness excess
- Low-mid (200-350 Hz): neutral; Ellen’s voice has natural body and you do not want to inflate it
- Reverb: 8-10% wet, medium room — Victoria Housekeeping has a slightly formal setting; a touch more space than Belle or Anby works
- Compression: light, ratio 2.5:1 — preserves the dynamics that carry Ellen’s emotional subtlety
JP vs EN note: The JP performance for Ellen leans cooler and more precise in the upper register. If you are tuning for JP dub fidelity, reduce the presence boost and keep the delivery measured at all times.
EN vs JP Dub Style Reference Table
HoYoverse ships ZZZ with four complete dub tracks — English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. For voice changer preset tuning, the EN and JP versions are the most commonly requested. The table below summarizes the key voice direction differences that affect preset choices.
| Character | EN Style | JP Style | Preset Implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Belle (Proxy) | Warmer, grounded, conversational | Cool detachment, subtle formality | JP: cut -1 dB above 4 kHz |
| Wise (Proxy) | Slight sardonic edge, relaxed baritone | Smoother, cleaner archetype delivery | JP: reduce mid-high by -1 dB |
| Anby Demara | Dry deadpan, American mid-low register | Quieter, more internal flatness | JP: slightly lower pitch (-1 more semitone) |
| Nicole Demara | Bright, scheme-forward bounce | Slightly more controlled cheerful | EN: push the presence boost harder |
| Ellen Joe | Warm composure, slight vocal softness | Cooler precision, clinical clarity | JP: reduce reverb by half |
Use this table as a modifier on top of the base presets — not as a replacement. Dial in the base preset first, then apply the JP or EN adjustment as a final trim.
Soundboard Integration: In-Game Lines on Hotkeys
Pairing a voice preset with a soundboard turns a single-character impression into a full ZZZ presence on Discord. The approach:
- Download the ZZZ character voice files you want to use — these are extractable from the game’s local installation using publicly available asset tools.
- Load them into VoxBooster’s soundboard as individual clips on hotkeys (F1–F12 or custom bindings).
- Activate your character voice preset on the microphone channel.
- During Discord calls, fire the in-game voice line on a hotkey for reactions and punctuation; your mic carries the impression for actual conversation.
This works especially well for Anby, whose deadpan one-liners land perfectly as hotkey reactions. Nicole’s scheming-plan lines work as reaction clips when someone proposes something questionable.
Keep clips under 10 seconds for Discord server etiquette, and use them in reaction context rather than continuous playback — the game audio is copyright-protected material.
For a broader overview of how to set up a soundboard alongside a voice changer, the anime voice changer guide covers the combined workflow in more depth.
ZZZ Lore Reactions: New Eridu Character Play
Part of what makes ZZZ voice changer work compelling in 2026 is the game’s ongoing lore expansion. New Eridu’s political tensions — the Obol Squad, the Hollow Zero inner sanctum, the evolving relationship between the Cunning Hares and the city’s factions — give Discord roleplayers and streamers a constant stream of new scenarios to work with.
A few scenarios where character voice work lands particularly well:
Hollow Deep Dive discussions: When your Discord server is theorizing about the Hollow Zero lore, switching to a Wise or Belle preset mid-conversation adds immersion that pure text cannot match. The reserved Proxy tone fits the “we have seen worse” vibe that ZZZ lore analysis tends to produce.
Nicole team compositions: ZZZ’s combat meta discussions are frequent and heated. Nicole’s scheme-boss energy is a perfect match for hot-take delivery — her voice preset plus her actual verbal habit of framing everything as a hustle works whether you are complimenting a team comp or tearing one apart.
Anby reaction clips: Anby’s deadpan is the ZZZ equivalent of a Keanu Reeves “whoa” — maximally useful as a reaction to anything surprising in content creator streams. Pre-loaded as a hotkey, it becomes a community inside joke that lands every time.
Setting Up VoxBooster for ZZZ: Step-by-Step
This assumes you are starting from scratch. If you have already installed VoxBooster and configured the virtual mic, skip to step 4.
- Download and install VoxBooster. The installer runs on Windows 10/11. No kernel driver is installed; the setup completes without an administrator restart.
- Select your input device. In VoxBooster’s settings, choose your physical microphone as the input source.
- Verify the virtual mic appears in Windows. Open Windows Sound Settings > Input — “VoxBooster Virtual Mic” should be in the device list.
- Set Discord to use the virtual mic. Discord > Settings > Voice & Video > Input Device → select VoxBooster Virtual Mic. Run a test call with a friend or use Discord’s Voice Test feature.
- Load the character preset. Apply the pitch, EQ, and reverb values from the relevant character section above. Use VoxBooster’s preview function to audition in real time while speaking.
- Calibrate. Record a 30-second test clip through OBS or Windows Voice Recorder. Listen back on headphones — headphone monitoring bypasses your brain’s adjustment to your own voice and gives you an honest read on how the preset sounds to others.
- Save as a named preset. Save with the character name so you can switch between Belle, Anby, Nicole, and Ellen mid-session with a single click.
The whole process takes under 10 minutes on first setup; switching presets during a session takes about three seconds.
Comparing Voice Changer Options for ZZZ
Several real-time voice changers work for ZZZ persona use. The table below compares the ones most commonly discussed in the ZZZ community.
| Feature | VoxBooster | Voicemod | Clownfish | Voice.ai |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kernel driver required | No | Yes (on some features) | No | No |
| Real-time AI voice cloning | Yes | Limited | No | Yes |
| Parametric EQ in app | Yes | Limited | No | Limited |
| Soundboard built-in | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| Anti-cheat compatible | Yes | Reported issues | Yes | Yes |
| Windows 10/11 support | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Free tier | 3-day trial | Free with limits | Free | Free with limits |
| Offline processing | Yes | Partial | Yes | Partial |
The anti-cheat point is worth emphasizing: Voicemod has historically had conflicts with certain anti-cheat implementations on PC games because of its kernel-level driver installation. VoxBooster’s WASAPI-only approach avoids that category entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Zenless Zone Zero voice changer for Discord?
Yes. A real-time voice changer like VoxBooster creates a virtual microphone you select inside Discord’s audio settings. Once active, every call or server voice channel outputs your transformed voice live — no file editing needed. Latency stays under 20ms on a mid-range CPU, so conversation feels completely natural.
How do I sound like Anby Demara from Zenless Zone Zero?
Anby’s voice is flat, dry, and low-energy — almost monotone. Drop pitch 1-2 semitones, cut presence frequencies around 3-5 kHz, and reduce reverb to near zero for that indoor-apartment dryness. The goal is a voice that sounds like it is putting in minimal effort. In VoxBooster, start with a light Deep Female preset and pull the high-shelf EQ down.
Can I use a ZZZ voice changer for cosplay videos on TikTok?
Absolutely. Run the voice changer while recording — the virtual mic captures transformed audio directly into your recording app. For short-form content, lean into the character’s most recognizable verbal trait: Nicole’s pitch-up scheme energy, Anby’s deadpan delivery, Ellen’s measured calm. Recognizable in 3 seconds beats technically perfect every time.
Does a voice changer interfere with Zenless Zone Zero anti-cheat?
Voice changers using a standard virtual microphone — WASAPI-based, no kernel driver — are invisible to anti-cheat systems. Anti-cheat scans for kernel-level software and executable memory, not audio devices. VoxBooster uses WASAPI without kernel driver installation, so it runs safely alongside ZZZ with no conflicts.
What are the English and Japanese voice actors for the ZZZ Proxy?
In English, the female Proxy (Belle) is voiced by Zuri Clarke and the male Proxy (Wise) by Aleks Le. In Japanese, Belle is voiced by Tomoyo Kurosawa and Wise by Natsuki Hanae. The EN performances lean slightly more casual and grounded; the JP cast leans into a subtle anime cool that suits the game’s neon-urban tone.
Which Zenless Zone Zero characters are easiest to replicate with a voice changer?
Nicole and Anby are the most accessible. Nicole’s energetic mid-high pitch needs a modest upward shift plus brightness boost — achievable in seconds. Anby’s flat, low-effort tone only requires a slight downward shift and cutting the high-mids. Ellen and Belle require more nuanced EQ work to land the calm precision without sounding hollow.
Can I play ZZZ character voice clips as soundboard hotkeys on Discord?
Yes. A soundboard lets you fire in-game character lines on a hotkey during Discord calls or streams. Pair it with a live voice preset on your mic for full character immersion. Keep clips short — under 10 seconds respects Discord server etiquette — and use them for reaction or commentary context rather than wholesale audio reproduction.
Conclusion
A Zenless Zone Zero voice changer covers the full range from Anby’s stripped-back deadpan to Nicole’s forward-leaning scheme energy — five distinct preset zones across Belle, Wise, Anby, Nicole, and Ellen, each achievable with precise pitch and EQ adjustments. HoYoverse’s urban action setting gives these characters some of the most stylistically defined voices in gacha gaming, which translates directly into voice changer work that reads immediately to anyone who knows the game.
