Audacity Presets For Radio

Sound Like A Radio Announcer, In One Click 🎙️

These are the Audacity presets that make you sound like you are on the radio, not like you are coming out of one. Five one-click settings built from the processing Mike Russell uses on real station output: the broadcast voice, the imaging voice, the deeper on-air sound, and Mike's Sparkle, which is not in any other pack.

This pack is for broadcast quality: sounding like a professional presenter. If you want the opposite, a voice that sounds like it is coming through an old radio, that is the Old Radio preset in Audacity Creative Presets or the Vintage Voice in Audacity Presets For Fun. For microphone-matched settings see Audacity Presets For Voice Overs, and for podcast-specific settings see Audacity Presets For Podcasters.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I make my voice sound like a radio announcer?
Broadcast voice is mostly EQ and compression: lift the presence, control the peaks, add a little low-end weight. The Radio Voice preset does all three in one click.

How do I get radio voice on Audacity?
Apply a saved macro to your recording. These presets are ready-made macros, so you import once and apply in a click.

What is Mike's Sparkle?
The master chain Mike Russell uses on real station output. It is exclusive to this pack.

How to make Audacity sound like a radio?
If you mean the lo-fi effect, where the voice sounds like it is playing through a radio speaker, you want the Old Radio preset in the Creative pack rather than this one.

Will this work for podcasts too?
It will, though the Podcasters pack is tuned for it.
