About 90% of that is acting and there is no acting effect. Someone will post with the probable filters. Even if we get the filters right, you're still going to sound like you with filters. "Make me sound like somebody else" is a very frequent request. We can't do it, but it's very frequent...

The De-Esser for Windows is "Spitfish." http://www.digitalfishphones.com/main.php?item=2&subItem=5 Attached is the gentle de-crisper and a picture of what the equalization curve looks like in use. The second picture is what happens when I grab one of the tiny round inflection points wi...

.. it'll probably be worth it to lose the extra noise. Well worth it. I remember an earlier test where I was surprised how "easy" it was to suppress the whine. Most people aren't so lucky. Since Noise Reduction takes two steps, not using it peels off both steps from the process. I spent 9...
