How do you create an audio effect with just one person saying something and it sounds like a whole stadium saying it or just a bunch of people? Is it like a combination with just like reverb and echo? Because I can't seem to get it. I'm using FCP by the way. Thanks!

You need to record the lines a couple of times or double it up in your timeline possibly.

remember a few things - one, a stadium is huge. So first off the audio should sound far away. Two, with that many people they would all be yelling. And three, there would be people NOT saying what you want them to say. So...

Set up your mic at one end of a hall. If the other end has a bathroom, use it. Put the person in there. Record some with the door open, some closed, and have him yell the line in various ways. record a bunch of them. Then, if you have an audio editor, us that to make a composite, it'll be easier. Set the voices at different volumes and time offsets. Go online to some of the free wav websites and get a few stadium crowd noise files, place them behind it low for ambient fill. Finally, take the whole output file and add some mild delay, and a decent amount of reverb with a good amount of predelay on it (that'll give it that washy sound). Throw an EQ filter on it and shelve everything above 6000 down (play with the frequency to see what sounds best). Add a classic speech style compressor and you should have something convincing. Good luck with it, lets hear it when you're done!
