Hi all,
I'm working on an audio project for teaching Telephone English, and as part of it I need to create dialogues between two people - one of whom should sound crisp and natural (no problem) and one who sounds like they are on the other end of a phone line.
The problem I have is making the person on the phone sound convincing. I'm using Audacity, and have tried using the echo effect which is the best I can do so far...any more advice anyone could give me?
Thanks

Try using the equaliser and amplify from about 800 Hz to 4000 Hz while attenuating everything else. Not sure about the echo.

Or alternately if Audacity has an FFT filter, use that to do the job very effectively.

Or play back the sound to be telephoned through a crappy mini headphone and record that.

Pretty much remove the highs and lows with an EQ's high pass and low pass filters... then fiddle with it to get it the way you want.
