I started trying to record my own messages to play as tail messages. Ok not bad. Features like noise reduction really clean up audio. I’ve noticed most youtube tutorials mostly cover studio audio. I also followed the pdf on ohnosec.
I’ve done things like noise reduction and pitch change to make my voice more like a radio announcer.

I hit send early but anyone have any suggestions. For polishing audio for reply over a repeater?

For me, I decided to make my nodes mp3 capable.
Using notes from:
this way I could 'work' with my audio and then output in a format I liked using across different platforms.
I use soundforge as I've been using that for years but certainly doesn't make the audio better or not 
I have a recording of a doorbell as my courtesy tone instead of computer generated tones.
The best advice I can give you with audio quality is to make sure you are recording the best audio to start with.
Use a high quality sound input and feed it with a high quality microphone.
Now, I don't mean hundreds of dollars, just use the best equipment BEFORE you get 'digitized'.
Garbage in garbage out even with the filtering capabilities of your software.
Good luck!
