In my view, you'd modified your voice if you made an operation to change it significantly (and can’t return to its initial sounding.)

Am I right?

Or if you use special devices / software like these sound packs www.screamingbee.com/product/products.aspx
(it’s not advertising of them :) just an example of such things)
