Body: <p>I am looking for a specific voice effect that I have listened to in many videos on YouTube and other places. I don't know what it is called and it also does not sound natural. Here are examples -</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://vimeo.com/224179742" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Arpha Hub - Explainer Video</a></p>

  <p>Do you notice the subtle 'errrrr'/crunchiness/vibration/distortion/robotic sound at the end of many words? I understand it may be difficult to understand by my explanation but hope someone recognizes it.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to know if this effect has a name or something to search further into it or is there is a YouTube tutorial somewhere that I can follow, to begin with.</p>
  
  <p>Any kind of pointers would help.</p>
