Airplane or Airport-like voice over
Does anyone have an idea what final cut audio plugins I could use to turn a voice that I will record (slow and impersonal on purpose) to sound like it was recorded in an airplane or at an airport (you know, those public announcements?)

I think the echo/reverb will give the impression that its being heard at an airport…

Thanks,
I tried that, but Im also trying to get the kind of muffled sound you hear through airport loudspeakers or a plane’s PA system. I tried with an eq that enhances low frequencies. Makes it better, but not quite there. Any other ideas? -
You probably need to compress it, add a bit of distortion and eq..
try running it through soundtrack, bitcrusher etc

An airports PA system produces a vastly different sound space than an airplane’s.
To emulate the airport terminal, use some slight reverb and some short delay with about two or three reflections, and use an old, beat up mic inside a sock. Another trick is to record the announcement and then playback that announcement through a less-than-high-fidelity system and re-record the playback while micing it from a distance. A large room (like a gymnasium) will sound best but even a bathroom will work.
For the airplane, just a some slight and very short delay, then roll off the highs. The sock on the mic might help too.
Ambient sfx will sell it better than anything, however.

Or try re-exporting the audio files, but at a much lower sampling rate (like 8 or 16khz), that (should) give it a nice “weak” effect… then pull those back in & reverb away.
