How to edit a singing voice to make it sound better?

How do I edit a recording of me singing to make it sound professional with Audacity?

• So I just recorded a song with me singing to a original song. So I listened to it and it sounded "okay" but I want to edit my voice to make it sound a little more ...show more

• Answer:

  First and foremost, you have got to click that effects tab! Find the "amplifier" plugin and click that. That alone will get your voice at a nice, modern, sound level. Audacity has the "freeverb/gverb" plugin which, applied in a small amount, makes your voice have a bit more spacial depth to it. One really cool thing you can do is record yourself singing an octave lower than your previous recording and combine that with the first, which can sound REALLY cool (it works for me!). You can also open the "equalization" plugin and turn the highs and lows down, just leaving the mids, to get that "am radio/megaphone" sound hope that helps!
