Any way to reduce reverb from recorded track?

I'm working in Cubase on a project with multiple contributers. All going quite well except the vocal track. When the vocalist recorded it, he must have been on a reverb trip or something. It's not exactly bad, but much too much Reverb for the rest of the performance and ambiance. The singer is not available to re-record, so...

Is there some magic plug-in or something that can dry-ify a wet-wet track? I'm open to try anything. I'm running Cubase 12 (which has a lot of included widgets), but I don't know where to start. I don't even know what the correct English is for what I'm trying to do.

Thanks!
 
If you don't have those plugins:

Collapsing it to mono may remove a bunch if it is a stereo reverb.

Gating the vocal tightly could help remove the tails.

A note to the singer may get you a dry track.
 
Thanks to you all. There's several good leads there. I was hoping not to have to purchase anything (this is not a problem I'm likely to encounter again), but if I can get away with a demo version, I'll be thrilled
