Not everyone can be Don Lafontaine.
Have a listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imwl0Be0Y38
Notice how utterly dreadful the sound quality is, yet the quality of the voices are still unmistakeable.

So how far have you got? There is no magic "voice over" button, but if you can post a short sample of what you have so far we may be able to suggest ways to improve the recording.

Hi, thanks for respond. I now, the voice actors have an unique and amazing voice.

But i mean the efect in the video, of distance and gravity like. Im not a expert but i think than is a kind of echo

It's "reverb" rather than "echo".
A similar effect can be achieved with the GVerb effect.

If you're using Windows and Audacity 1.3.14 then the VST version of Anwida DX Reverb Light is a good one.

The plugin is supplied in the zip file format, it has to be unzipped (unpacked/extracted) and the "widener.ny" file put into Audacity plugins file, same as you did with Anwida DX Reverb Light ...

After you put an effect into the Audacity plugin folder, tick all the boxes here, then restart Audacity, (i.e. off then on again).
