yeha im not sure dude lol! depends, maybe the light gas would come out of your lungs 1st making you sound higher and then the heavy gas would come out to make you sound lower! or maybe they cancel each other out! or maybe your voice would just be abit fucked up lol!
To answer your question, considering Helium is 6 times less dense than air and considering sulphur hexafluoride is 6 times denser than air is you take equal quantities of each they should cancel each other out.
As for any possible reaction between the two gases used together that remains an unknown factor. Hope that answered your question.
I haven't looked into mixtures of gases so thats unknown to me. I'm not inro biological warefare <_<
For example, when you burn methane, buthane, hydrogen etc that's a chemical reaction.
Helium however is a "noble gas" (rightmost column of the periodic table). It's extremely stable chemically (doesn't react).
