Make Your Voice Sound Better In Audacity (EASY)

The whole tutorial in one comment :D 1. Noise removal 2. Compressor (-15 to -18) 3. Equlizer (Curve to Bass Boost) 4. Repeat Step 3 with Treble Boost 5. Hard Limiter (-3.0) 6. Normalize

Equalization effect is now Filter Curve EQ.

Tired of background noise? Drape a thick blanket over yourself and the mic while recording. You will LOOK stupid, but nobody is going to SEE you on a audio recording, and it is the closest thing to having a "Dead room" (no echo from walls, background noise, etc). Also make sure you are on carpet or a rug, the floor can really reflect your voice as well. Hope this helps everyone. - Kevin

is there an effect for people who hate their voice LOL

Thank you for your guide! I'm also using the Blue Yeti and this has definitely improved my audio quality.

this just saved my voice overs, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! subscribe!

These tutorials from this channel kickstarted my life as a multimedia artist back in like 2014

Holy cow! This really improved the quality of the audio recording! I still need to see how it works on our longer duration recordings, but man, what a difference! Thanks!

This is great. I have a voice that sounds like a sparrow being strangled. With this trick I sound like a butch sparrow. Thanks for posting. works well.

Finally, a person who really sounds clear while teaching you how to make voice clear!

This is really improved the mixing of my covers so much! I uploaded my first cover last week and it was really bad! the volume goes louder at some point then does softer again. My friends are even shocked by the improvement I made in a week! THANK YOU!

Wow, I'm impressed, you provided all the info related with your PC/Laptop in the description, that's quite rare here on YouTube. Good Work!

1. Change noise profile 2. Echo- 0.1, 0.1 (This can add an extra flavor) 3. Compressor, threshold (-15 to -20; suggestive -18) 4. Equalization, Bass boost, select default 5. Equalization, Treble boost, select default 6. Hard limiter, (-0.2 to -0.5; suggestive -0.4) Thanks for such a good voice suggestion...

Very useful audactity information here for all youtubers, thanks a lot!

Thanks! I've been using Audacity for a while, but I hadn't used all of the steps in your list. Much improved, and my recording was done with a pretty low-rent condenser shotgun mike in my office with ventilation noise and ambient noise through the wall and a vent from a staff lounge next door. I'm pretty happy with the results.

This helped me out a lot! I make covers for songs using the UTAU program and I just could never seem how to "amplify" my voice without it sounding like it was going to blow the speakers. Thank you so much!!

when u have a headset and ur only an inch away XD

In general, Bass Boosting and Treble boosting is decent, but the defaults are WAY over the top.You should never do it over 6 db generally unless something went really wrong with the recording. Doing it to 9 db like here is overkill and pretty much makes it noticeable that you're modifying your voice - it gives the slight automoton-like ring to it in the background. The other contributing component is when you treble boost that much, you get all those spikes that you have to hard-limiter. Hard-limiters distort audio quality. So if you can avoid creating huge spikes with treble boosting, you can probably avoid using the hard limiter altogether. These steps are good, I would just say play around with lesser emphasis on the bass/treble-boosting 'till it sounds better.

I am so happy you posted this man! I hope you don't mind, I'm going to record vocals for my song and post a comment with the link once I finish using your techniques. Have a great one you've just done me a service, thanks again.

Just wanted to say thanks, I use this for my podcast every week and follow these steps. I know nothing about sound editing, so it's perfect and my voice sounds good.
