Okay sorry Lee. I just would like to explain my self better. I just re-read what I wrote and I think you got me wrong a bit.
I recommended this book because I do guggest this book as a GOOD source for super experience professional as well as for beginer. And this is my honest opinion.
Regarding "work hard, it's gonna hurt" - my point was "I feel your pain".
I want to recommend one more thing, though you should be very careful with it. You can shorten words by cutting some letters. If there is a strong click on "S" in the middle, try to make it shorter by deleting a problematic noise. E.G if an charachter say "Yesss" and on the 2-nd s there is a harsh click, cut it out, so it will sound like "Yess". Or goood as good e.t.c.
Now, it might be very tricky and you are about to walk on the edge.
From one side you improving your audio and thats good. But you must be careful NOT to: 1 - go out of synch. 2 - lose natural pronunciation 3 - make it less artistic and dramatic.
As it was mentioned before, you may use also time stratch and pitch shifts (maybe Vocalign sometimes). You may use reverb for deleting spikes in the end of the words and re-create new tails with it (Altiverb is good).
iZotope RX spectral repair may recreate missed spaces , then try gentle reverb for more natural results.
Also try to lower the volume in the places "you-just cannot fix". Sometimes it can make a trick. The hard thing is to still let it have intellegebility.
But again, it's a small steps way and you should re-check youself all the time.
Also sometimes it's preferable to leave it distorted rather over processed.
This is my opinion again.
Good luck! And sorry for my English.
