The KK Slider Vocal Effect
Here's the story. Back in February, I got myself a Switch Lite to use Gadget on as well as for Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown. About a week ago, some of my gamer friends raved about Animal Crossing New Horizons. While researching the game, I stumbled upon a musician dog character called KK Slider. The voice effect is weird and bizarre and perfect for experimental music. You can hear what I'm talking about here). https://open.spotify.com/album/0UBK7oymoowTKxYBz8VGeU?si=7wTi2TpRQG2Nxhbc9tYvPA
It sounds like a weird chopped vocal chipmunk effect or some kind of vocal synthesis (and admittedly can be a bit grating on the ears, lol). When I went to Google to research the process of how Nintendo did it, all I found was a soundfont. If any of you have any ideas or apps I could use to produce this weird vocal effect, I'm all ears. Cheers mates.

I think you’re looking for an old vocaloid synth. I checked some demos for Yamaha Vocaloid 5 and it’s too realistic but an older version should do the trick.
I’m not up to date with the whole scene so I might be a little off-base — I learned about vocaloids from the Korg Miku Stomp, which makes your guitar sound like KK Slider.
Can’t help with recreating the KK effect, but I’ve been whiling away many, many hours with this wonderful game. We’re big fans of the series, so much so that my daughter and I both got new Switch Lites so we could play. (We didn’t want to share an island.) Talk about a system seller. Anyway, to sort of bring this back on topic, here’s a great article about the game and its composer, Kazumi Totaka. KK is modeled after him!
@jrjulius If only I could get Vocaloid. I think there was an iOS version once, but it was only sold in Japan. I think that would be sort of the item I'm looking for.
@xraydash Oh fine, fine. Dammit. Looks like I just purchased it. :P The final kick in the arse to do so. I've read enough articles to know I'll most likely love this game.
That said, checking out the article.
I always like reading different articles about composers and what their thought processes are, etc. It helps build my own knowledge. 
@xraydash "The lack of music is the key." That reminds me of something similar Brian Eno said about music functioning in the background, but I can't find the exact quote. It was from an interview I believe.
KK Slider is boss.

Sounds like ChipSpeech to me
I hope you enjoy it! It does unfold a little slowly at first, but stick with it. If you’ve got friends that play, it’s really fun to visit their islands. They’ll probably hook up you up with stuff like different fruits too. I mentioned my daughter, who still lives at home, but my twin sons who are off to college have it too. We’ve got a little trading network going.
The music and sound design are excellent. I always play with headphones on and have noticed things like panning as you walk past a source of sound or a massive, but warm, reverb when you walk through a certain place. Just nice little touches. And the background music, as the article points out, is well balanced so that it’s never obtrusive. The themes vary by time and location and, for me anyway, never feel repetitive. Just pleasant little jams!
Aw, yeah!
