It was recently confirmed that Auto-Tuning is used in The X Factor and it has now been suggested that Boyle's voice was enhanced to make her sound better during ITV's other Saturday night reality show.
An insider told The Evening Standard: "The exact same techniques are used on Britain's Got Talent as on The X Factor - it's the same production team. The sounds are cleaned up - it's an open secret and an industry standard.
"This goes for everyone - even Susan Boyle's audition was smoothed out in post-production to give it the best possible sound."
A spokeswoman for Talkback Thames admitted that the technology is used during the contestant's performances but that it does not alter their voice that much.
She explained: "In line with standard television practice, sound filtering technology has been used on Britain's Got Talent on our pre-recorded shows, but this does not unfairly reflect any singer's performance.
"The performance shown on screen is a fair reflection of performance given in the live theatre. Judges make their decision based on that live performance."
