Here we refer to an open source program that will solve most of the problems that we have with this audio content. Whether they are voice files, music files, or any other type related to audio, Audacity will probably help you. It is a software specially designed to meet the needs of both novice users and professionals in this regard.

At the same time, it should be noted that it has an intuitive user interface in which we find most of the available features first hand. It is worth noting that as soon as the corresponding contents are loaded, the program generates the corresponding wave on the screen so that we can work directly on it. This allows us to select a part to work on it, set time limits, or visualize the sound reproduction in a graphic way.

In this specific case we are going to talk about some tricks that you can execute on these files, especially if they contain a voice track . We refer to the possibility of improving this part of the audio either when singing or speaking. In this way, among the many features available here, we are going to show you which ones will be really useful for these improvement tasks.

Make the voice of an audio sound better with Audacity

We have already told you before that this is a powerful application that has a multitude of functions to improve the quality of the voices in an audio . Whether it’s a piece of music or a person speaking, Audacity gives us the features we need to make it better.

• Remove audio noise : the first thing we are going to do here is use the function called Noise Reduction included in the program. As you can imagine, it effectively helps us to greatly reduce the background noise of our audio file. This will allow the voices included in it to be heard more clearly, which is precisely what we are looking for here.
• Add equalization effect : once we have finished the step described above, we recommend modifying the equalization of the audio wave. To be more effective here we should select the voice fragments that we want to improve one by one . Next, we move to the Equalizer menu of the filter curve. At that moment a new window will open where we can manually modify the curve. Also, here we equalize the voice of the audio wave to make it better heard. In this case, the best we can do is try different adjustments of said curve.
• Use audio compression : Finally, in order to improve the voice in our audio files for either speaking or singing with Audacity, we load the Effects / Compressor menu function. Here we will have to modify the slider bars that appear as Lower noise limit or Threshold . Depending on each sound file, these limits vary, so we also recommend trying several until you achieve the desired voice clarity.
