Removing The Boxy Sound From A Voice Recording

A prevalent issue with voice recordings is a boxy sound resulting from a resonance. A resonance occurs from a low-mid frequency reflection based on a room's length, height, and width. This reflection can happen in both an untreated and treated recording space. Resolving the problem with a professional acoustic treatment designed to absorb the resonant frequency is best. However, minimizing the effect can be accomplished with a parametric EQ. This video shows how to identify and modify offending resonant frequencies for a voice recording to improve sound quality significantly.
