What to do AFTER you've isolated a dialogue/voice over track?

So I have been playing around with DVD Audio Extractor and seeing if I can isolate some dialogue for a trailer I'm putting together. I separated the 5.0 surround sound audio in separate channels and fortunately one of the channels has the audio of the dialogue with barely noticeable background noise. I may try using Audacity to filter the last bit of noise. Anyway, since the dialogue is just one channel of the audio, I am left with a tinny hollow sound. Is there anyway to remedy this? Since all I want is the dialogue isolated I'm assuming there is no point in trying to recreate the surround sound audio. The only solution i am thinking of is making it stereo but I don't know how to go about doing that.

I am a complete noob when it come to audio editing so please forgive me if my assumptions are totally wrong! :-o
 
You could try using eq (i havent used audacity in awhile so i cant remember if it has an eq) to make the voices a bit more natural (Take out some of the hih end and boost the mids maybe). Maybe add a bit of stereo reverb, or even a little bit of chorus (very little would be needed) to add back some depth to the voice (probably should be done after eq)
Hope this helps in some way :)
 
Graphic Equalizer and Reverb effects will help here. You'll just have to play around to get the sound you want. For Equalizing, I would probably bring down the midrange significantly and boost the bass a bit to get rid of the tinny sounds. There may also be some presets in the reverb to help.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys! I will try it out and see what happens.
