My thoughts.......apply a low cut EQ and perhaps cut around 500hz to reduce the muddiness.
Maybe try some female Oohs & Aahs

-The spoken word is a bit washed out by reverb.
Here again I'd tweak the EQ in the low end and mids to brighten it up just a tad and back off the reverb a little.
Maybe add a little boost in the upper end to add some presence.

Hey, what the hell do I know, just throwing stuff against the wall.

Thanks Moto. These are detailed suggestions, so I can't wait to try them out. And you know plenty - much more than me on these things, for sure! :-)

But as you asked for some advice:
There's a bit too much reverb and sometimes one can hear you swallow. May be you can remove that.
And using a de-esser might help too.

But the song is a very nice tribute!

Yep, a de-esser was the first thing that came to mind on seeing the feedback I got on this song. The reverb drives me nuts, because I have to get the words sounding clear over the humming ... maybe I can dial down the humming a little, as Moto suggests? I'll experiment :-) Thank you for your nice and kind words!

Thanks!
