Reducing Room Reverberation Hollow sound is Ideally reduced on location but you can't control room ambiance and echo from remote guest.
Let's face it sometimes you may be lucky to have a guest and it may be sticky to correct them, especially if they have a spot at home they are proud of and use as a studio professionally, having put a lot of thought into lighting snnd background. while their large diaphram mic is picking up theit fingers on the desk the computer fan and the acoustic reflections from the walls on eithher side. The results can range from an annoying audio disconnect between speakers, or just their voice being different.
If the echo is only in the pauses between words, you can use a Noise Gate to silence everything below a certain volume.Select your entire audio track.
Go to Effect > Volume and Compression > Noise Gate.Set the Gate threshold to a level where it captures the room sound but leaves your voice untouched (start around -30 dB or -40 dB).
Or if you feel bold,Start with "Level reduction" at -100, "Gatey threshold" at 30 and "Attack/Decay" at 75. Level reduction tells the gate how much to reduce unwanted audio. The gate threshold sets the volume level at which the gate starts to reduce sounds and the attack and decay setting affects how quickly the gate process starts and stops. Click "OK" to start the process.
Play the result of the noise gate process. Evaluate the effect of those settings. If there is no change to the echo, increase the threshold isetting until the echo occurring after important audio is sufficiently reduced. Reduce the threshold setting if the noise gate cuts off important audio. This process may take several attempts. Click "Edit" from the toolbar, then "Undo" to restore your audio to its original state between attempts.
Adjust the level reduction and attack/decay settings to make the noise gate effect more natural, after you find an effective threshold level. Increasing level reduction adds some echo, but you can control what level. Increasing the attack and decay time smooths out how the gate effect begins and ends. Slower settings make the effect less noticeable

Noise Reduction can also minimize reverb tails between words.Select a silent section of your audio where only the room ambient is present.Go to Effect > Noise Removal and Repair > Noise Reduction.Click Get Noise Profile.Select your entire audio clip then Effect > Noise Removal and Repair > Noise Reduction.Set the Noise Reduction (dB) slider to roughly 12–15, set Sensitivity to 6, and Frequency smoothing to 150.
