Worfs voice in Nemesis

Is there a source for that claim?

Count is being sarcastic (;)), but yes, the voice was pitch-altered because Baird wanted to emphasize Worf being an alien. Which, as Count suggests, is a weird thing to do after 11 years of TV adventures where Worf was already considered sufficiently alien without voice alteration.

We should count our lucky stars that Baird didn't pitch alter all Geordi's dialogue too (his having mistaken the character for being an alien -- yes, really. :shifty: )

Now I want to hear Geordi with Morgan Freeman's voice.
That would sound pretty cool....
 
Memory Alpha has this to say:
As with the actors portraying Remans, Michael Dorn's voice was electronically lowered in pitch in post production to give Worf a more alien sound.
Count was being sarcastic when he said "After 11 seasons they didn't think he was alien enough". That isn't a factual statement, it was simply Count being facetious. :p

But what *I* said (that they did, in fact, pitch-correct his voice to emphasise his being an alien) is a 100% true statement.

In the audio commentary, Baird talks about the various ways B-4's voice was treated and also points out that Ron Perlman's voice was filtered electronically. No mention of Worf. So until there's more to go on than an unsourced snippet from the Memory Alpha wiki, I'll keep inverted commas around calling it a "fact".

Watch the trailer. Then listen to the same dialogue in the film.
