Audio Restoration Specialist — Fix First 3 Minutes of Keynote Video (AI Tools Welcome)

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We have a keynote presentation video with an audio problem in the first ~3 minutes of the speaker's remarks. The rest of the keynote sounds fine — it's only the opening segment that needs repair. We were told years ago that this audio couldn't be fixed, but that was before modern AI audio restoration tools existed (Adobe Podcast Enhance, iZotope RX, Descript, ElevenLabs voice isolation, etc.). We believe it's worth a fresh evaluation by someone who knows the current landscape. What we're asking for in your proposal: Watch/listen to the linked video (first 3 minutes) and give us your honest professional assessment: can this be fixed to a usable standard, or not? If yes — briefly describe your general approach (tools/method) and provide a flat-rate quote and turnaround time If it can only be partially improved, tell us that too — we value honesty over optimism Examples of previous audio restoration/repair work We do NOT ask for unpaid samples or test work. The video link is provided only so you can hear the problem and make an informed evaluation before quoting. All actual work happens under a funded contract. VIDEO LINK FOR YOUR REFERENCE & REVIEW (this is the full video, but the issue occurs about 30 seconds-1 minute in, with the words "let's talk trauma" and the issue persists for 3 minutes): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DbmnVMBR9FbuMNvERlUtHuLVkd91nlsr/view?usp=drive_link Timeline: As soon as possible. This footage has been waiting a decade to be used, and it's needed for an active project. To note: We're not audio engineers ourselves, so we're relying on your expertise for the feasibility call. A clear, honest "yes, here's how," "partially," or "no, and here's why" is exactly what we want.
