Does Skype turn you/him/her on?

A MetaFilter member asked this why-not question: “Does Skype ’smooth’ your voice to make it sound mellower, more seductive etc.? That’s my impression; but is there any evidence to support it? I suppose an analogous means of customer retention might be the use in shops of ’slimming mirrors’.”
It might be just an opinion. But among the answer, one person, claiming to work on the audio parts for one Skype competitor, explains that “they do filter your voice to remove noise and acoustic echo to make the audio clearer and better.”
“The side effect might be that the voice sounds more mellower or seductive, but that is not the main reason to do it (at least for us, Skype might of course have additional requirements and audio filters…).”
Do we have to expect any “help me mr. Right” plugin for Skype?
