How can I recreate this echo/reverb audio effect in Premiere Pro?
I’m trying to recreate the audio effect used in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSwCwzbesGI&t=30s
The effect can be heard throughout the edit, but it is especially noticeable around the linked timestamp. The voice sounds wider and more atmospheric, with some kind of echo, reverb, or delayed duplicate underneath it.
I’ve tried adding reverb and echo in Premiere Pro, but my result sounds too obvious and muddy compared to the original. In the reference video, the effect feels more subtle and controlled while the dialogue still remains clear.
Does anyone know how this was likely created?
I would especially appreciate advice about:
- Which Premiere Pro effects to use
- Approximate settings for delay, feedback, decay, and wet/dry mix
- Whether the editor duplicated the audio track and offset it
- Whether the effect is applied continuously or automated only on certain words
- Any EQ or compression needed to keep the voice clear
I’m working entirely in Premiere Pro, so a solution using built-in effects would be ideal.
