1. A method comprising:
capturing, via a headset microphone of a speaker's artificial reality device, voice input of a speaker in communication with a listener in an artificial reality environment;
determining a directivity profile for the speaker;
determining, based on the directivity profile, a directivity pattern for the voice input corresponding to the speaker's presence within the artificial reality environment;
processing, using the directivity pattern, the voice input to create a directivity-attuned voice signal for the listener; and
delivering the directivity-attuned voice signal to an artificial reality device of the listener.
