# Ooooh
Chorus, eh? I don't think I've tried that one.

What I want is to get a sound like a professional voiceover. I've tried cranking up the bass, but that just sounds silly.

YOu can only do so much post recording, and to be honest if you haven't recorded on the right mic in the right setup, you could be trying to achieve the impossible using the recording you have.

Voice over 'actors' are very sought after, because they have that distinct vocal quality that cannot really be replicated with effects.

My email is in my profile - bung me an mp3 of the vocal over and I'll try a few things on it to see what you think. Won't be 'til tonight though

There's no hurry though, and I'm going to bed now... I'll try a few things in the morning, and if I'm still stuck, you'll definitely be hearing from me. :)

# Hmmmmm
No... it's definitely not chorus, I'm afraid. And dropping the pitch sound odd too.

*sighs* Perhaps I just have a voice for print media...

# without trying to sound too negative
Some people just have 'that' voice naturally, and if you haven't yourself (I know I certainly haven't) then you may not have much luck getting the sound yourself.

I got a track signed to a label a while back, and they asked me to add a vocal. I soon realised I just do not have the voice for it, so I ended up tracking down a friend who I thought would be suitable.
