The laser FX in Star Wars were recordings of a high tension cable struck with a metal object.
I find the E-Jay products useful for creating sound effects, especially distorted speech. I prefer Techno E-Jay 2 for that. But there are many budget priced music creation packages around and most include some kind of sample editing/effects functions.
For creating RoboCop 'you have twenty seconds to comply' type speech: Record your normal voice and then lower the pitch. Add a bit of distortion, echo etc, and you won't notice the Welsh accent.
The thing about recording your own voice is practice. The more you do it the better the results. To start with you'll be self conscious and that comes out in the recording.
