Looking for 1930's vocal sound
I am trying to reproduce a song with the vocal style from the 1930's
I think it was accomplished by singing through non-electric megaphone.
I search but can only find the modern bullhorn effect which is definitely not what I want. Maybe some sort of Victrola effect might work though, I hope this makes sense. I doubt I will find a magic vst so I am guessing some eq boosted mids but am fishing for helpful ideas

no bit reduction, but yeah - high/low pass, maybe add some low-level white noise, and compress the heck out of it.

Even more sick- I read this post while munching on a mini cereal box- you know the ones that come in the variety packs. I sung into it when empty and I'll be damned- 1930's! It's also about performance too. Lot's of note sliding and verbrato for that style.

You might want to have a look at Speakerphone by AudioEase (makers of Altiverb).
You can simulate almost any kind of microphone, gardenhose, bullhorn and enviromental effect with it.

Thanks for the tips...isotope is interesting and combined with eq seems very workable.

there used to be a free plugin called "vintage" where you could not only apply some filters and distortion in a very realistic manner, but it also had tuneable noise and clicks and what not.
"used to be" means: i can't find it any longer. i guess it was "xoxos", not sure though… good luck! it's really great!
