Thank you so much!

Thank so much Gary. Just what I was looking for. Thanks to you, I just sent my first demo, to one of the companies you recommended, as I am looking for work as a UK/US voiceover artist.

Excellent video! I was a member several years ago and booked several decent jobs as a part timer. Back then there was only the one Tier if I remember correctly (plus the free membership) I think I paid about 300 for the year. Eventually, I got fed up with the selection process. Don't get me wrong, I didn't think I was better than anyone else or should have been picked instead of another... what got me was that quite often, my audition wasn't even opened! The project would be marked "closed" as soon as they heard something they liked..leaving all the other entries in the lurch, unopened. How can you even have a chance to get selected if they don't even PLAY the audition. I also auditioned for several jingles, which requited music composition, recording, studio gear etc.. On top of that they needed the voice over of course. These would take several hours to complete just for the one audition. After having at least a half dozen submission remain unheard/unopened I decided to pack it in. It's one thing to be the wrong guy for a certain project, that's fine with me...it's another thing to be ignored and have your hard work wasted because they couldn't be bothered to even play the audition. I guess I expected VOICE 123 to hold their clients accountable for playing/opening all of the auditions that THEY requested...but dream on..they don't.

I also need a sopota

😮👀

2:20 can’t you just make your voice and not at voice app

I have trouble pronouncing my R’s, and it’s difficult for people to understand what I’m saying sometimes because of this. One time, I was playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with a friend, and he asked me how to turn off the Auto Accelerate option, and I was like “you gotta press the R Button” and he thought I said the “Ahh Button,” and it was annoying. I had to take his damn controller and turn it off myself because otherwise we’d sit there for an hour while I try to explain to him what I was trying to say

Gary ~ I tried this and it worked a treat, but when I uploaded my RMS-normalized files, they were ALL rejected for having peaks over -3 dB. I asked an engineer friend to look at my files and she said sure enough, lots of my “peaks” were over -3, and she said a lot of them were something she called “clipped.” Audacity overwrote all my original files, so I can’t go back and fix them, so now I have to record the whole book over again. I followed all your instructions, and can’t figure out what I did wrong. Please help, me, Gary! ! ! !

It was my charger

Great explanation. Thank you!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you

God bless you. Thanks for the tutorial! Very helpful.

And coming up next here on Channel 4, we’ve got the latest Channel 4 News, with Krishnan-Guru Murthy.

Man, I was having quite the time with RMS levels but remembered I turned down the gain and that threw me off even though the ACX check said I was good to go.

Thanks for this, Gary. Very helpful stuff.

Thank you very much Mr. Terzza.

Thank yooooooouuuuuuuu!!! I almost crapped my pants when i saw this error message as this is my first ACX project!

Thanks this was a reply informative video! I have a slight lisp and just thought that was the reason my r’s sounded like w’s. Now I realise it’s likely just because of where I’m from

Great info 😂

$1, read your AUDIENCE, 😂, # 2 read ur preminter 😂❤😂

thank you, sir!

Thanks, Gary! This was so helpful. Have you documented anywhere (maybe your newsletter) the optimal settings for audiobooks when using Audacity?

Do you need to insert a separate file of room tone? I have seen some tutorials that suggest after you adjust Noise Gate to add a separate room tone track that runs the length of the original audio.

Thank you Ssssssssso much for your help! :)

Did you know that impersonating a snake 🐍 could enhance your breath control?

Incredible! I’ve been away from V.O for a while and amazed at how technology moves on - I’ve always used audacity and found it an excellent tool - as always thanks for sharing Gary 👍 I’ll be a professional one day 👍😊

If you're wearing headphones you may notice you can still hear the breath faintly in the background. I should probably have reduced the breath further by increasing the Gate Threshold. It's all about experimenting and seeing what seems the most natural for you.

Thanks. I love you Europeans. Very helpful! :)

Thank you so much!

It was my little fridge. Holy shit thanks for saying that i was looking everywhere

My mic picks up taxis and radio and other pollution. Tape a wire to the metal part of the mic and stick the other end of the wire in your sock touching your skin. I did try a real plug using the mains earth of the house but it actually made it worse.

Listening is often overlooked in voice-over, but it’s truly the secret to growth. Whether it’s tuning into other voice actors or evaluating our own work, each listening session brings valuable insights. What’s your experience with using listening to improve your voice-over skills? Let me know in the comments.

The sound isn't the micro phone for me it's the audio in my headset

Thanks a bunch, the installation was helpful as well, very nice tutorial and much appreciated :)

Good tool, but the AI makes you sound 100 percent nasal

it's. no longer under tools, it's under effects now.

I was working as a software consultant from India for one of the client in Italy. He did not pay me for last 2 months, and he was still asking me to keep continuing the work. He said once I get money I will pay you back. I refused to work as he owned me $7000, he said he will get back to me once he has money. I moved on, after 2 years I got his email asking me to work again for him. I asked him to first pay my pending dues, he vanished and now he is not replying to my mails. 😥

Cheers mate, been struggling with this.

Great tip this! I'm on the fence about auditions now with V123 because many people have said it's better to get experience first as your rating supposedly goes down unless people give your audition a thumbs up or you get hired. Was wondering what your take on this is? Thanks

Is this possible in GarageBand?
