Make audio sound like it's outside.

Question

Hi there,

I am currently working on voice-overs in Audition, the recording was captured on an iPhone and sent to me, however, they contain a subtle echo and sound very flat. The main objective is to make the voice-overs sound like they were recorded outside in a city space.

I was wondering how I could go about making this?

Your help will be most appreciated, any questions feel free to ask.

Your real problem here is that you have an echo from room sound. You can't get rid of this - it actually colours the sound itself - it's not just the echo you can hear. The thing about outside sound is that generally there is no early reflection content in it; if you hear any reflections at all, they will be more like slapback sounds (a distinct repeat), but they sound nothing like being inside a room at all. The best way to do this is to do it properly on location - there's nothing like the real thing. Human ears are very sensitive to environment, and you really can't get away with faking it, I'm afraid.
