  • How do I raise the volume of just my voice?

    Posted by Tyler Bataan on January 29, 2025 at 1:48 am

    I recently finished a Street Fighter cast in which I did well and was planning to add clips to my reel. However, I discovered that my microphone settings had changed to only a 30% output. Although I managed to prevent that from happening again, the cast now has my voice inaudible compared to the game’s volume. Is there a way I can fix this by increasing the volume of just my voice? I use Davinci Resolve, and I’m not looking to get the studio version, so I know voice isolation is off the table. Also to make it worse it saves as one audio track, which is why I’m lost in the first place.

    Hey Tyler,

    Sorry, but you will need to isolate your voice, or you are just raising the noise level.

    If you export the audio to a suitable file format (MP3 should work).
    Adobe has a free tool here that might be of help to you:

    Hi,

    To be honest I don’t know how effective and I guess it changes from recording to recording because of the sound conditions but there are some Vocal isolation AI software, and websites claiming that they can separate vocals from music. You could give it a try to see if it helps.

    Well…it’s involved, but it should do the job:

    1) create a duplicate track then hide/mute your original (this is your reference track)

    2) on the duplicate track, use the volume tool to mute your voice (save a back up copy of this, just in case)

    3) create a third track and punch in (re-record) your dialog, using the edited track as reference.

    4) mix your dialog so everything balances and export the mix as a new track.

    Or just recall your cast and do it again. Or next time, mic your actors separately, so each one is a separate track. It all depends on how much time/resources you want to spend on your project.
