I was gonna post somethin about this. Is that even a voice box? It sounds like some computer editing he does to his voice. Its dope to me tho. He sounds completely different without it (listen to "On Bail" by Xzibit f/ T-Pain, Daz, The Game).

Mr. Pain is using a vocoder which simply modulates the sound of the overall signal from his microphone, whereas with a talkbox you'd have to use a tube in your mouth to inflect a more variable sound.

There's really no comparison between Troutman and T-Pain. Roger could serenade over a whole piece of creative and original music, whereas most any singer can produce that T-Pain sound using just a vocoder.

T-Pain was performing on Jay Leno a few nights ago, he didn't use a vocoder at all, you wouldn't know it was him without one if you had just heard it.

Dude is not bad!!
That vocoder does get annoying some times..but perhaps that's just his gimmick..a way to differentiate himself from other artist out there..

It's not a talk box or the vocoder, It's a relatively new plug-in that is used in Pro Tools, kinda like a futuristic vocoder.. which makes T-Pain fake as fuck for that.. he's pretty much achieved fame for having a different voice like the one people think he does.

Its not a talkbox or a vocoder, its computer pitch correction. And no I don't think he's trying to be like Roger, but copycatting or not, that guy makes HORRIBLE music. I don't like to say nobody dont got no talent, but him and akon both suck

^Props for the vid, "seeing is believing" comes to mind when I saw it.

But Roger Troutman & T-Pain shouldn't even be in the same sentence, at least Roger could sing without the talkbox & could play real instruments. I'm not knocking T-Pain's hustle because he has good hooks at times but, still.
