A compressor can be useful for making inaudible voice recordings,
especially off-mike stuff, audible.
Musicians use compression to enhance the transients in percussion, and
it does the same for consonants in speech.
This assumes that you want to hear the words, rather than the exact
sound of the speaker's voice.
