Flavor

The caster's voice seems to spring from somewhere else entirely—a statue, a doorway, an empty corner.

Mechanics

Makes the caster's voice appear to come from a chosen point within range (about 10 yds. + 10 yds./ wait: 60 ft range) for 2 /level + . Listeners may vs. spell to detect the trick if suspicious; the more improbable the source, the easier to disbelieve. Limited to the caster's own voice/sounds. : a bit of parchment rolled into a cone.
