This is the best video I have watched on improving voiceover audio quality in audacity. Explains not just "how to" but also "why", which other creators of similar videos do not. No hype, just facts! After watching your video, I have understood the concepts behind all the audio editing. Thanks. Keep going.

Thank you for this detailed yet simple audio editing for spoken voice. I tried it out on a .wav file and it very much improved the sound quality and consistent volume.

This is great! Do you have any plans to make another video going over the ACX submission requirements, and how to set those parameters in the latest version?

I have recently downloaded Audacity and luckily found this video. This is very good and I tried this on a sample audio and it really improved the quality.

Just one note, the AI voice you used isn't very good.

What software did you use for the text to speech for your instructions ?

Great video and very informative. I've been using audacity for a little while now, and it's really easy and good, too. Can you go more in-depth with autone and mixing, please? I would love it. I'm an upcoming artist

Hello, I would like to ask if I want to use amplify to make my overall audio file louder, should I do it before or after these 4 steps in your video?

If there is an opportunity to make a video for podcasting & motivational video sounds, that would be amazing!

Is there a way to make a count in track?

[PaigeG]

This is very helpful, thank you! And can this tutorial fix a recording with some overdrive clipping? If the voice is a little overdrive, how to apply the EQ?

Thanks for this great video. With the filter curve eq is there a a way to move it with the slider rather than on the graph from 100hz to 80hz? its very confusing moving it on the graph
