1. When we speak, there is a 5db bass drop-off. That' s why people don't like the way they sound when thy are recorded. Also eliminates road noise. I road tested it a million times, it works. Add 5db of bass to your recording.
2. Get the DX Reverb Light plugin for Audacity and use the Live House Reverb. Sound like a mastering professional. It's hard to find so here it is! You need both plugins for it to work.
Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/

Spatio Light Reverb (Formerly DX Reverb Light): look under the free plugins https://www.anwida.com/plugins/
3. Add one second of silence to the beginning of your recording so that it loads better on the Internet (it's called attenuation).
4. Use the Equalizer, The solution to a low vocal. +10db at 4Khz and 5Khz for vocal presence.
5. Start your fade out at the beginning of the last note.
