So i have been running with the EQ setting for a while that i have posted a link to below.
my voice is quite deep and i would like it to sound more full and not as deep as it is as i do voiceovers on my youtube videos.
i am using Equalizer APO 1.2.1 with VSTPlugins, I am using the reaeq plugin to equalize my voice. as i listen to my voice back my P's and S's come across as very sharp and i would like them not to be as sharp.
any help on this would be really appreciated as i have been playing around with it for a while and this is where i have got to.


^^^ recordings and EQ Setting i have on currently.

Hi Logics

Might I recommend you try not going above unity gain on your eq settings and simply knock down the LF from 100 Hz on down to mellow out the deepness of your voice. For the Ps and Ss drop the level with a center frequency of 1.5 kHz with a mediem Q until the pops and sibilance are to your liking. To make your voice fuller just add a gentle amount of reverb just below the point where you recognize the reverb as reverrb. The swan dive should be closer to perfect :) Hope this helps :)

Hi you'd need to us another plug in along with real eq. You should have a basic one in your VST library. If not, there are a ton of free VST Reverb plug ins that can be dowloaded. Just remember to be judicious with use as i believe APO is a system wide Eq.:)
