IDK how people are even falling for this one. Its so shit and feels loaded with breadcrumbs to make idiots latch onto it.

Well fuck, kiwibro. Now you've got my skeptical heart starting to believeLooking at the audio waveforms from the downloaded file shows no 'soundboard' style repetition. There is a distinct background hum only when Chris picks up which continues throughout the video and shows itself intermittently during segments when Chris is talking.
A spectrogram analysis of the audio reveals a few interesting things. Note that this spectrogram analysis was created using ChatGPT.

The top plot (waveform) displays that the speech patterns for this segment (where Chris talks about who the Autobots are fighting) are natural and dynamic, including:
The bottom plot (spectrogram) also reveals:
- Varied loudness and softness
- Natural pauses and pacing
- No signs of clipped audio or overly consistent volume—issues that often show up in AI-generated voices like those from ElevenLabs
I’d bet that this is a real recording of Chris. The clip lacks telltale AI markers like robotic smoothness or mechanical repetition. That said, newer tools like ElevenLabs V3 are getting better at mimicking natural voice, so nothing is ever 100% certain.
- Strong, rich frequency content in the typical human vocal range (100–4000Hz)
- Clear variation in the formant patterns, suggesting real human vocal movement
- No artificial noise lines or repeating patterns, which are often present in AI speech
TLDR:
The voice sounds real. It includes natural volume shifts, consistent background noise, human pacing, and none of the usual signs of AI. I believe this is a genuine call.
Still signs of heavy editing, such as Chris's words cutting directly into the next ones in some places. Background noise can be added in artificially after the fact and if someone was surgically editing this in the first place they'd be more than capable of doing that as well. There was also a section of Chris's where some birds were chirping or some other noise was occurring but did not show up in the other areas I examined.Looking at the audio waveforms from the downloaded file shows no 'soundboard' style repetition.

The birds were on my end. he called me unannounced at 7am lolThere was also a section of Chris's where some birds were chirping or some other noise was occurring but did not show up in the other areas I examined.
It really isn't well done. The guys acting is so bad you can hear it through the voice distorter.This sounds so unbelievably fake. It's well done but totally fake. I have a hard time believing so many people here are falling for it but they're probably lower class phone posters.
I'm sorry buddy but ChatGPT has no business generating spectograms, and if you think it does then you have no business analyzing spectograms.A spectrogram analysis of the audio reveals a few interesting things. Note that this spectrogram analysis was created using ChatGPT.
There are people who can do just that. If AI was used this is how they did it.The 10% of doubt comes from the possibility that they might have used a voice-to-voice mode to replace their voice with a model of Chris Chan. This way you'd be able to replicate what I was talking about above. Tho you would have to be able to do a pretty convincing Chris Chan impression already...
Here's one I got from feeding the audio into an online service (https://convert.ing-now.com/audio-spectrogram-creator/)I'm sorry buddy but ChatGPT has no business generating spectograms, and if you think it does then you have no business analyzing spectograms.

@Revolver Salesman This seems to preempt the cut you noticedThe call logs from earlier (which got converted into a short) plus some of our Etsy logs.
Some additional information: Chris called me unannounced at 7 in the morning, so I didn't have time to set up recording on my phone, so the recording I posted was recorded with my microphone and my phone on speaker. Because of that I had to boost Chris's audio. I also cut out a very short clip at 0:21 because someone talked in the background. My voice filter made a couple of Chris's words unintelligible, so sorry about that.
I threw it into audacity to plot the spectrogram and got this, might be clearerThere are people who can do just that. If AI was used this is how they did it.

That doesn't mean anything, I'm sure someone else has mentioned it to them. If they're going to keep up the ruse they have to come up with an explanation.@Revolver Salesman This seems to preempt the cut you noticed
Could it be that a real person is imitating Chris's voice?TLDR:

Minor addenum to this.

This is the screenshot I got from Ren Ryghts a couple of months back. He shared it with me, because it shows a phone number connected to the Etsy account.
It also starts with a 2. I DM'd him just now to ask for permission to post it and he agreed.
