echo in tinny audio

Post by vegetables25 » Fri Apr 16, 2021 6:04 pm

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to best get rid of a slight echo in vocal audio. I'm trying to improve the way the voice sounds in this, but there is a slight reverberation or echo around lower tones especially. I've attached two clips, sample1 is with no effects and sample2 is with compression, some equalization (bass cut, some treble amped) and a low-pass filter. If you have any ideas, I'll be grateful! Thanks.

An expander can attenuate the room reverb when the person is not speaking ...

This is an example, (slight reverb), where a de-reverb plugin may of use, but they are costly, (so try before you buy).
