Hi, just started using Audacity and need to quickly make a voice recording sound ideal for my purposes. Sorry if my question is a bit too demanding.
Basically I did a recording for a school play and I need to edit it to make it sound ideal. There’s one part in the recording where it gets a bit softer as if the person speaking moves away from the microphone, so I’m wondering if there’s any way to remedy that?
Also it sounds a bit nasal and I want to sound more professional, like an announcement you would hear in a departmental store, so how could I achieve such an effect?

That’s a frequently asked question. Announcers are acting the part. That’s not a vocal tone thing and there is no “actor” button or filter. You can change the overall tone of your voice with the equalizer, but probably never get you into the department store.
Put your voice track on the timeline and Effect > Equalizer > Graphic Eq and pull down the sliders around 3KHz. That where fingernails on the blackboard live. Change the settings lower and higher than that and listen to how it sounds. Audacity doesn’t do anything in real time, so you have to apply it, UNDO and apply a different one.
The only other way to get around this is type the script and have a good software vocalizer do it for you.
Another problem New Users have is recording room trash along with the voice. That’s deadly and we can’t fix that, either.
