Any ideas on copying this voice effect?

Question

Trying to copy the effects from this video:

mainly the ones at:

• 0:30 - 0:40
• 2:12 - 2:42
• 5:31 - 5:47

---

I'm only really able to use Audacity and Adobe Audition so answers with that in mind would be greatly appreciated

I've tried many different variations using echo, delay, reverb and chorus mixed those effects together. Also I used multiple different tracks with tuning volume to control when the echos or delayed voices fade in or out.

So far no luck. Any advice you can offer would be a huge help.

What should I do to reproduce the effect from the video?

Answer 1

In the three clips you call out, the only effect I hear is a slight reverse reverb or pre-echo. In your audio editor, select the audio you want to process and reverse it so it plays backwards. Then apply a short reverb effect. Don’t go crazy here; a little goes a long way. Then re-reverse the audio so the reverb tails fade in before each word.

It’ll probably take a few tries to find settings that sound good, but to match the sample clips, set the reverb decay time at ~300 ms or so and effect level at 20% and fine tune from there. You can also try an echo effect instead of reverb with the same time and level settings as above and no feedback.
