I'm looking for suggestions to improve the VO done by a child.

I'm going to take the pauses / stuttering out, and maybe some EQ, and Noise Reduction.

I wonder if anyone has had much experience with this type of thing.

Here is file right out of iPhone - (28 seconds):

Equipment
- Rode App for iPhone, 48Khz, iPhone processing shut OFF
http://www.rode.com/software/roderec - Free and Pro versions

- iRig mic - http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigmic/ - Paid $15 used.

Room
- classroom in basement of old church, not ideal.

Short of re-recording it and giving him some good direction and proper pronunciation and enunciation, I'd say you did pretty well at making it better. I've seen some absolute magic done with dialogue that is hard to understand, but it was done by a masterful dialogue editor that had loads of time and a big budget on a feature film where doing ADR wouldn't have helped because of a heavy accent.
 
Thanks for input. It's for an animated Christmas play we are doing... Some of the children read very well which makes it easy to edit. ( 5 kids in total) ~ Rob
