Voice over processing in Adobe Audition is a fine art and it can be quite time consuming to find the right filters and effects to apply. Yet that process can make a mile long difference and make you stand out from other voice recordings.
This is by far one of the most popular topics we are asked to cover. So much so that we have created two videos to showcase various approaches.
EQ and Compression Sparkle
Here’s a tutorial on how to EQ, compress and add a little sparkle to any voice over in minutes. There are a few tricks that take no time at all for you to add to the voice and you can even save them as a preset in Adobe Audition. This means that every time you perform a voice over you can simply hit a hotkey and all these settings are applied in one quick session.
Voice Over Processing
I am showing here the exact settings I use with my voice recording and in the productions at Music Radio Creative. The voice stands out more, is not only louder but also adds presence to your vocals. All secrets revealed in this video.

Great tutorial on Adobe Audition. More info is always useful!
Great to hear you’re liking the tutorials Debbie!
Hya Mike love guides, not sure if you can help, Galaxy used to have a great EQ on there VO's, I do have copies, do you know what they used? J
To get a similar effect you can start with the FFT Filter in Adobe Audition. Knock out all frequencies below around 250 Hz and then add hard compression. That should get you close!
Russell now u are my master. Love the way you teach.
Thanks!
Hey Mike,
I’ve been doing some V/O narration that often requires small re-recorded revisions – sometimes after quite a while. What’s the best approach to creating “reviseable” narration so I don’t have to re-record the entire production if small changes are required? Btw, I control the room acoustics and Adobe Audition — it’s my own voice that seems to never match!
Hi Mike,
There must be something I do wrong cause by applying your effects the volumes get skyrocket high. I checked more than once and I am totally sure that I thoroughly following your effects list.
What’s your take on this, although you can’t hear my (horrible) VO?
