Here’s an example with limey 50Hz hum, then dehummed using my plugin , then the hummy original again, then your dehummer applied with ...

Re: How can one person sound as a complete choir?

One major disadvantage with creating "choirs" from a single recording is that there is a tendency for it to produce a "phasing" effect which can make it sound sort of "electronic".

Saxual reproduction

The choir was made from multiple copies of the first sample with changes to the pitch, speed, start time and pan position. The sustain of the note was also adjusted by editing (cut and cross-fade) to provide two versions of the voice. The whole lot was then mixed and stereo reverb (Freeverb) added....

Re: Ringing in Conversion from Wav to MP3

If combining the stereo tracks to mono in audacity is creating a ringing effect, (possibly a comb effect if one mic is further from the lecturer than the other), then instead of combining the stereo tracks (L+R) to produce a mono one, just discard either L or R track and make the remaining one mono....
