Hey, how would you guys describe a voice that's been distorted through voice communication latency? I want to emphasize my character's distance from the main plot setting.
Pixelated Corrupted Lagging Broken and unreadable Disjointed Distorted (as you said) Sectional Fragmented
For an analog signal, it'd end up sounding like static. A good example is putting on an FM radio in the country and dipping down into a valley. For a digital signal, it's end up just cutting in and out.
I would have a small segment of the broadcast come on strong with a few low level blips and fade to nothing.... and repeat.
