A nice little tool is called "Mousing" by Sagebrush Systems.
It is inspired by the Theremin; I sort of got "Twinkle Twinkle
Little (bizaree ) Star" out of it. But it was by far the best
think for producing weird sounds that sound very much like they
come from a science fiction movie. I think he has a mac version.
He wanted $5.00US after a 30 day trial period.

Have Fun,
Sends Steve

P.S. I am going to review it for the zine "Nightwaves" but a move
back to California intervened!;)

You can plug your headphones into your audio input jack and sing into them. If that sound quality is too objectionable, this is the standard low-end vocal microphone:
