Voice recording sounds like inside a cave
Posted: Mon Dec 05, 2011 4:28 pm
I'm a complete newbie and while I can find my way around a computer, I am not a techie by trade or inclination. 
I have been building a seriies of online training modules for work, and the voice recordings we are doing have a "recorded in a cave" (sorry, I don't know the actual technical term for this). There isn't really any echo, just that kind of empty in a big room sound from behind the narrators voice.
I have no sound editing expereince, and we really don't have the budget for professional studio and technical time.
Is there any way we can edit these .wav files in audicity to make them more presentible? Any suggestions on what we can do with settings at the time of recording (we are just using a Plantronics microphone equiped headset, in a normal room, on a laptop).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've attached on of the wav files so you can hear what I mean.
