You disguise your words, including this spell's verbal component, behind illusory speech.
Choose a number of creatures within range, up to your spellcasting ability modifier (minimum 1). These creatures hear you speaking as normal, though with an unmistakably magical reverberation. All other creatures hear only the illusory speech, which must be in the same language and of comparable length and tone. The spell also disguises the movement of your lips, but not any associated gestures.
Figuring out what to say to have the illusory speech deliver a precise message requires mental effort, causing you to have disadvantage on Charisma checks for the duration. A creature that has truesight can see your lips through the illusion, but not hear what you say.
