4$\begingroup$ This seems really broad. From the number of answers already, there are a ton of colorless, odorless/tasteless gasses that change the pitch of your voice, are dangerous in large quantities, and react with fire... Perhaps you could add some other clues (Maybe something about its chemical formula) to narrow down the possible answers? $\endgroup$ – DqwertyC Oct 27 '17 at 16:33

I'm going to say
Helium (gas)
I am colorless, odorless, tasteless, invisible
Yeah, those seem to match up, although Helium from a store tank usually has a bit of a scent to it.
When I am inside of you, you sound funny
Your voice gets higher when you inhale Helium
But too much of me would kill you
Over-inhalation of Helium frequently knocks people out, and too much Helium without fresh air would indeed kill you
And when I touch fire, it gets angry
This is a bit more of a stretch, but since Helium isn't flammable, perhaps fire gets angry because it can't burn it up, and burning things is pretty much all fire wants to do.

It's
Hydrogen gas $\text{H}_2$
I am colorless, odorless, tasteless, invisible
Just like most gases
When I am inside of you, you sound funny
Also like Helium
But too much of me would kill you
Well, if there's no oxygen anymore, you die.
And when I touch fire, it gets angry
$\text{H}_2$ burns like hell.

Oxygen
I am colorless, odorless, tasteless, and invisible
Well, it is, unless someone "cut the cheese" (but that's not oxygen anyway)
When I am inside of you, you sound funny
The arteries transport oxygen.
But too much of me would kill you
And when I touch fire, it gets angry
Oxygen makes the fire burn.

It is
Nitrogen (N)
As,
Nitrogen is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and invisible
When I am inside of you, you sound funny
Nitrous oxide (laughing gas, as it is usually called), when inhaled makes us laugh OR it can be cracking of knuckles / body joints which is due to Nitrogen / its compound in gaseous form. It is poisonous in large quantities, when inhaled
And when I touch fire, it gets angry
It does not support a fire rather it tries to explode / form an explosive environment.

you are
Methane
I am colorless, odorless, tasteless, and invisible
methane in its natural state is odorless colorless and tasteless
When I am inside of you, you sound funny
tummy rumble!
But too much of me would kill you
methane can be deadly!
And when I touch fire, it gets angry
methane is a natural gas used for burning!

Its
Nitrous oxide (N2O)
I am colorless, odorless, tasteless, and invisible
At room temperature it is colourless, invisible ,odourless and tasteless(with a very slight sweet taste that is negligible)
When I am inside of you, you sound funny
Its also name as "laughing gas" due to the euphoric effects upon inhaling it.
But too much of me would kill you
Nitrous oxide is used as anaesthetic but overdose blocks blood vessels and can kill a person.
And when I touch fire, it gets angry
Though it is non-flammable at room temperature but when mixed with a flammable material it gets very dangerous by providing more oxygen than air alone, hence a more powerful combustion.

It really could be almost anything, so I'll guess
Sulphur Hexaflouride
I am colorless, odorless, tasteless, and invisible
It is all of these
When I am inside of you, you sound funny
It's heavier than oxygen so it makes your voice sound super deep
But too much of me would kill you
Like helium it can make you suffocate if you inhale too much.
And when I touch fire, it gets angry
Creates toxic fumes when introduced with fire
