Echo on narrative voice

My friend is doing a short movie with a narrative voice and 99% of that voice was recorded in a kitchen but a little part of it wasen't recorded at the same place and there is a LOT of echo on it . . . Is there a way to reduce as much echo as possible?? We can't record it again . . .


Edit: oh and well . . . any suggestions for mixing that kind of solo voice?? I'm not used to do that kind of projects . . .

Thanks!

    If the echo is recorded in the track.....I do not know of a way to reduce it...besides recording it again.

    It might actually work though depending on the spot in the movie that the narritive is at. If the scene is showing the place where the "echo voice" was recorded...it may seem natural and fit OK into the movie. I've seen a number of documentaries where that has happened....the narrator is in a studio doing voice, and then the narration goes live into a subway station and the narrator is having to talk louder over the noise.....so it might work.

    Also, if the "echo" is just room ambiance (and not delay..ay..ay..ay echo), it may be possible to find the frequency that the "ambiance" is primarily resonating at, and do a little surgical EQ dip, to make it less noticeable.

    True, other than a bit of minor improvement, there's no alternative to re-recording it 'dry'. Can't unscramble eggs, as they say.

    Add echo to the rest of it and you're done
