The distant voice. One of the best uses I`ve seen was Paul Winchell doing the "voice in a glass."

To me, I think of the telephone voice as the same as the distant voice. Guess I got that from the Paul Winchell tape.

I don't think there is anything better than a properly done Muffled Voice. The illusion that someone or something is actually talking from an enclosed area is really impressive. I remember seeing Alex Houston do this which was my first experience with the muffled voice and it blew me away. Years later I learned it at VentHaven from Michael Shirley.
