We filmed a workshop with a wireless mic. The video turned out great. However, the audio did not. I need to know if this can be fixed and altered to make the video more clear.

I am using sound Forge 7. Please tell me how to do it in sound forge, acoustic or adobe audition.
 
Whoa! The audio is seriously overmodulated (or in simpler terms, the recording level was way too high). There's not really a lot you can do to improve it. It also sounds like you recorded a mono source onto a stereo track, because the audio is only on the left side.
 
Atleast tell something, so i can improve the voice a little bit not more.
 
That's beyond awful....... complete and total distortion... :eek: :eek: :eek:
(also - MA's right - you did only record to one channel.....)

Unfortunately, you're pretty-much SOL - there's really no way to recover grossly distorted audio. You basically would have to get the speaker to redo the dialog after-the-fact (a process called ADR in video/film-circles.....)

You *might* be able to reduce the distortion somewhat using SF's "clipped peak removal" plug, but I've yet to see that ever actually do anything remotely useful - even with very minor clipping, so I wouldn't count on it.....

You can't get blood from a stone... some things simply aren't repairable without re-tracking.......
