If you can handle a little latency, don't overlook gizmo~.

Seconded, I find gizmo~ very good usually. J-F.

And if you can't, you can improve the quality by FFT convolving the original with the pitchshifted one to super impose the formants of the original on the shifted version. Tends to work better on material that has been pitchshifted upwards. Not as good as gizmo~, but can be faster.

Also, consider using a high-shelf filter on the pitchshifted output to reduce the prominence of artifacts. (alternatively, you could use a multiband compressor)

good idea but the thing with cutting out the highs is that i do want some highs in the vox or it will not sound as alive. i'm gona mess with gizmo~ some more ( just got home from work) and this is just for production so latency is fine :)

i remember why i don't like gizmo~ all that much. it's exactly like Madshifta. it makes the "chuuck chuuck" noise with any kind of percussive noise your mouth might make. same thing it does with drums :( you guys know what im talking about? the chuuck chuuck

and where do you get this Spear wonder?

If you are on OS X, Spear is a great program for pitch shifting. It's an fft style process but when you get the settings right It is as simple as a drag to the new transposition level.
