Hi folks
I'm absolutely not a producer but am trying to improve the audio on a vocal a mate has recorded on his iPhone. Has anyone got any advice to make it half-decent? I know ideally he should just get a proper mic and do it properly but I've ran out of time and wonder if there are any pros out there who could help me weave some magic on it. Here's a clip:

Any tips really appreciated!
Thanks
J

Also size and fidelity comes from contrast so if the backing track is stella, it will highlight how lo fi the vocal is, so need to hear it in context really.
Izotope has a free version of some of their denoising stuff, Reaper has a built in effect, it is simple to try different combinations of tracks to build up something usable, easy to overdo it, and it will never rival a well mic'd recording, but anything is possible these days.
I saw a vid a while back, where Michael Brauer ( I think) remixed a track from some very badly recorded stems by using duplicates for specific things.

Andy_k, would it take a lot of time to do? Could I hire your services? I think I have such a bad ear for this sort of thing that I'd really love to hear what someone else could potentially do with it, and how it was done of course, so I could learn. As I mentioned, I did try following loads of tutorials but often it seemed to come down to 'feel' and judging what needed boosting or cutting, and I really struggled. I tried reverb, slapback, layering more than one, messing with EQs and stuff like that but no luck. Just not sure I have the ear for it. The fact that Stuckfast can tell just by listening to it that it needs a cut around 200hz boggles my mind!

Thanks, will take a listen when I get a work break. Cheers for looking at it so quickly!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Will try to re-record if if I get chance but we're running out of time and I wanted to at least have a working demo.

I'll run the Antares stuff over it to repair the noise, then warm and thicken it.
