Multiband Compressor Settings for Voice Over

Question

Hello friends!

I've been trying to nail down some "go to" settings for the multi-band compressor in Audition, applied specifically to my VO tracks. I know that this is largely subjective, but I'd love some foundational settings that I can build on. I have done a bit of research on this, and most of what I find is more for vocals and not so much narration. I'm sure that my frequency levels are not correct for most voice ranges. I also find that I'm making a lot of my voices more harsh rather than just having a good presence.

Would be grateful for any recommendations / screenshots of settings, etc. that you are willing to share here.

Many thnaks!

Stephen

If you click the "Featured" option at the top of the forum, you get a series of posts on different aspects of sound work in Audition by Mike Russel.

Here's a link to one tutorial that covers much of what you're asking about from those posts. As it covers the whole thing of making voices better.
