Any tips/ideas on how to process a vocal such that it sounds like it's coming out of a megaphone?
 
I had one idea:
 
1. Use a megaphone
 
...but then ran out of ideas.  I've got very limited (read: no) experience of working with vocals.
 
As a guide to the sound I'm looking for, I was going to post a link to a youtube video, but it is pretty rude so felt that putting the link here would be inappropriate (search for 'Cartman megaphone' on youtube if you like).
 
TIA :-)

I'd start by cutting the highs and lows and then probably add a few high Q resonances in there,

It is pretty easy.  Couple options:
1.  Several EQs already have a preset for it, and I think the Sonitus is one of them.
2.  Stick an EQ on track.  Stick high pass and low pass filters on it (pretty aggressive) then stick a peak in the midrange and move it around until you get a frequency you like.
3.  Lastly, if you want, you can add a little saturation or distortion to dirty it up a bit.

Good answer ^^^
 
I've achieved this two ways: 1. use the Sonitus "Telephone" preset along with a distortion plugin, or 2. use an amp sim.
 
Adding a short delay also helps, if you want to simulate someone addressing a crowd through a megaphone (like in Pink Floyd's "Waiting for the Worms").

Cheers chaps! :-)
 
Also, interesting; I think I'd have reached for some lo-fi bit-crushing type of effect first.  That, or a megaphone ;-)

That's almost exactly what I did on this song for the answering phrases at 2:30;
