Fixing breathy pronunciations (plosives?)

Hi all,

I am editing an audio track and the speaker is very breathy in his pronunciation.

They are not plosives per se (and they definitely don't look like plosives on the Spectral Display), but they do stand out and sound similar to plosives.

The syllables include words starting with "h" (heh-ven instead of heaven) or "ah" (ah-tention instead of attention).

I've been messing around in Spectral Display with the Healing Tool and trying to playing around with the Multiband Compressor, but nothing seems to be working.

I've tried simply deleting the beginning of the words, but then they sound clipped. And when I "heal" the lower frequencies, it takes out the low frequencies of the speaker's voice, leaving the words sounding hollow.

Any tips? Thanks.
