What Is The Choicer Voicer? (Gameplay in 30 Seconds)
The Choicer Voicer is a party-style voice impression game show: you (and up to 3 friends) listen to an audio clip, mimic it with your own voice, and get scored by computer judges. It runs as a desktop program on Windows and Linux, costs $5.00 USD minimum (name your own price), and is developed by YeahMaybe. The official itch.io page describes it like this:
"Welcome to The Choicer Voicer, a game show where your voice is the star!"
"Inspired by party games of old, The Choicer Voicer is all about doing vocal impressions in various fun game formats."
"Make a fool of yourself for you, your friends, or your stream!"

Read Before You Buy: The Mic Warning
The one thing every new player should know before purchasing is the official microphone warning — a known engine bug can make the game unable to record audio on certain setups:
"There is a common bug where certain audio setups prevent the game from recording audio. This is well-known, and is an unresolved bug with the Godot Engine. Please test your mic in the free No Gameplay Demo to make sure your mic works before purchasing."
— YeahMaybe, official itch.io page
If your mic doesn't record, see our troubleshooting guide — the fix path includes stereo output, the 0.5.2-dev2 mic test build, and official feedback channels.
