I've been doing just that with DAW's since 1992 and before that with razor blades. We used to record a full 7" reel of just room tone to have as 'filler' on vo's where we eliminated ALL breaths. Time consuming but the vo ALWAYS stood out - and a lot of people agreed but they couldn't really tell you why it sounded better... it just did. Now we're into 'creative crossfade editing' as you cut out breaths - sometimes to nothing, sometimes to 'room tone' or as we call it 'presence'. Add to that the art of eliminating mouth noise and pops or changing words by editing out sounds and letters to reconstruct what a talent says - and editing a voice over track has become an art-form in and of itself. good article.
