Does anyone know of any programs (that are actually decent) where I can change my microphone pitch directly as soon as I speak into it?

More specifically, I'd like to make it so that I can have two levels, one of them at a higher pitch and one at a lower pitch.
Thanks

What you're looking for is a pitch shifter or harmonizer, or a multi-effects unit for vocals. Ask the guys at your local music store.

There are ways to do it with software but generally speaking, you'll need pretty good sound hardware to pull it off.

There are a variety of toy-quality software voice changers that work pretty decently. If you want more control, you could use ASIO4ALL and rewurshul to directly input audio into Reason, and then route through the effects there.

Latency will be a big issue though, as even if you have pretty high quality sound gear with ASIO and a fast processor, you're still going to get a very noticeable couple of milliseconds of input latency. With dedicated analogue hardware like effects pedals, you will not get any noticeable latency at all.
