... So, you hear my voice very loud and I barely perceive her. I tried to amplify his voice and reduce the noise with audacity but it still does not give anything audible ... Can someone help me? There is an Audacity plugin called LevelSpeech2 designed for that purpose: it only amplifies the quiet ...

-- So that's the right volume, but it's still too Essy, so I applied the DeEsser with these settings: https://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=26700 -- Still slightly bright...
