Theatre should have a ventriloquists dummy you can change the appearance of to various job types and character archetypes. you should be able to name the dummy (but not the names of crew members, it would give you nmessag "that'd be too confusing!") and when you hold the dummy in one hand you can use it to talk through and the words in the chat bar will come from the dummy. Taters can buy a radio activated dummy that they can name after crew members and talk through over the radio for frame-UPS and nasty rumor spreading.

This is so incredibly clownish it makes me wish for job-specific traitor items.

Don't restrict the name choice, just make it so if you speak over radio your voice isn't disguised. Traitors will probably prefer the voice changer for radio shenanigans.

Bit more simple version because doing 20 variants of inhands is beyond my patience.
