I know this is impossible....but I have been asked to do it as best as I can.

I have a recording from the Mic on a DV camera. Its a Man speaking in a gymnasiam. I have been asked to clean up the audio and try to get rid of the nasty reverb.

I use Pro Tools and have been tweeking real hard with EQ's and have even been exparimenting with ways to try to cancel out some of the reflections by inverting a copy of the audio.

Anyone have any tricks or advice.

Any input would be greatly appriciated

Thanks
 
You're not going to lose the reverb easily, but you can increase overall intelligibility with eq. Cutting 200hz is a good place to start, maybe some 3khz boost, maybe rolling off stuff below 100hz and over 12khz.
 
If the recording is in stereo, try listening to it in mono. Maybe that will help.

Also, see what it sounds like if you double the signal and noise gate one of the tracks, hopefully being able to emphasize the peaks without making things sound too akward.

Or, try an expander where signals that cut through the verb are amplified... the opposite of compression.
