Increasing volume in near silent sections

If you want to do it automatically on the whole file, try Compressor or Steve’s simpler Level speech plugin. Please see here how to install Steve’s plugin: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug-ins#install.

Or simply click and drag over one of the quiet parts and Effect > Amplify… . The default is to make the selection as loud as possible without distortion. Using this approach will sound very un-natural over the whole file.
