Whats the doppler effect? Isn't that the tendency of a sound/lightwave to stretch as it's source speeds away from the listener or compress as it approaches, thereby affecting the pitch/color? Like the sound of the Jetson's cars as they go by?
Unless there's a popular plugin named Doppler...
It's hard to get that effect on vocals because the vocalist would have to be running past the mic and the speed would have to be significant.
I seriously don't know if I understand the question.
Uladyne, that's exactly what it is - wavelengths appear shorter when the source is approaching you and longer when it is escaping you.

I like Jbrolls idea better. Go to a high school track at maybe midnight on a weeknight when all is quiet, set up a mobile rig with a decent mic, get the vocalist some quiet running shoes andhave him learn to run like a ninja (so the mic doesnt pick up his footsteps) and have him run like bloody hell, while screaming like bloody hell as he goes past the mic. Actually now that I think about it an ice skating rink might be better (and more entertaining for anyone watching.) Yea I'm a nerd. Automating a pitch shifter would be the way to go I think.
Erm, how is any of that a good idea? Not your strategy (apart from ambient noise, relying on a vocalist to do *anything* subtly, ambient noise, relying on a vocalist to do *anything* right, and massively varying volume it would work beautifully), just... why must people ask strange questions? They're... strange! One week it's figuring out how to make a vocalist sound like a drum machine wearing a kilt because it's Tuesday, another week it's getting the vocals out of a track because karaoke is such a great fucking idea, then we have to reenact the Bolshevik revolution to get the exact sound of a bronze gargoyle falling on an old Russian woman in the middle of a riot, next week someone will get federal funding for contacting aliens to find out where they like to mic their cabs for ska-punk-fusion-donk bar bands, now we're dying incredibly slowly while trying to make the vocalist sound like he's in the middle of a drive-by serenade... for fuck's sake, put mics on shit and record some fucking cunts! Everything is completely wrong! Everything is SO completely wrong that I'm rambling about how completely wrong everything is and wondering where sensible recording techniques went and not wearing pants for reasons I'm unclear on and the only thing I'm trying to figure out is what kind of curve to use in the automation to get the most authentic asshole-screaming-from-a-moving-motor-vehicle sound! The communists are ruining EVERYTHING!

Disregard that post, I may be having a mid-early-life crisis.
Automated pitchshifting is the way to go.
