I started (I think) with a good basis of audio processing, given that I'm often in touch with a producer I know and have dabbled in audio engineering for fun since my early teens. I do have a question related to the noise floor, which is, my audio clips are pretty much noiseless mostly, except of course, when there's no voice, in which the compressor and the EQ "bring up" the noise floor. I don't like, as I feel it doesn't sound professional to submit an audition with noise between clips, so I usually use a noise gate, with 1ms of attack and 100ms of release (and a lot of lookahead so there's no cuts lol). To me as an pseudo-audiophile it sounds pretty cool, cause there's enough release that it cuts the noise gradually and doesn't cut between words, but not so much that the fade out is perceptible. (I'm using the AT2020 and an Onyx Artist pre-amp, which aren't super great, but I feel are perfectly suitable if you keep a consistent good technique.) Should I just remove the noise suppression, or keep trusting the instinct? I ask this genuinely, because as much as I like audio, I'm not officially a professional and the last thing I want to have is the arrogance to think I don't need to improve. Also, I got my first shortlist at 30 auditions, is this good, or is this kinda substandard?

I got here googling Bruce, he's a voice from GTA 2, a radio host called Johnny Ricaro

Currently I'm getting about 1 - 4 postings a day at the moment. It's good paying gigs for sure though.

Hey do you guys accept teens on your website?

I think I've gotten too competitive pushing and trying to get my read done and uploaded before there's 40 responses ahead of me. For most of the commercial reads, I'll see it come in, get straight into markup and by the time I press record 3-4 mins later, there's 3-12 responses. In some cases I'll see the audition come in live and by the time I open it there's already two responses in the first two minutes! I don't even know how that physically someone could be that fast on it, much less clean it up.

Can it handle loud obnoxious car exhaust? I am plagued with wannabe street racers.

No option for audio editing. ??????

Affected and so irritating

Hello, great video! I have the doubt about what programs you use to record, equalize and compress, greetings!

This is great! It really takes all the guess work out of the equation.

Vocal fry was a DISORDER until woke totalitarians took over the Speech-Language Pathology field and declared the truth to be "judgmental." Awakened from the woke nightmare, Americans no longer ignore this childish habit that harms a speaker's vocal cords and annoys listeners.

hi how do you put an Ai voice that says what you type on IMovie ?

Hey thanks for the awesome video, it’s very helpful! Quick question - if I have a 32bit float microphone, can I set that up in the advance section of preferences? And if so, do I need to do any other setup in GarageBand to effectively use the 32 bit float function?

I just use Clarity VX and Clarity DeReverb.

Goodmrning sir The software have Adobe audio 1.5 I can't locate the part of setting the audio interface Kindly assist Because it's picking up record via software mic directly through the laptop 💻

Where do you get Waves? All I have is Apple plug ins!

Thank you 🙏🙏

Also, regarding the DAWs you use, Bandlab still has Cakewalk *completely for free* (long as you sign in), and as a dude who's relatively experienced with music and dialogue production, I have to say, it's just perfect. Totally professional level, great set of plug-ins which you can add on without changing anything in the original clips and it'll treat the audio perfectly in real time.

Theres a famous scene of a guy ranting at a barista for using vocal fry. He annoyed the hell out of me. Who hangs on to unimportant things like that. I don't mind it. I've used it to convey playfulness since I can remember. I like when Bane from batman does it. Sounds fun

dumb asf lol, why would i want to transcribe my own youtube video

Yes they do telling me that . And i want to do this job but i don't know how

Hay vídeos em español o português?😢

Hello, I hope you're doing well. I am trying to submit my recording for the job application, but I am having trouble uploading it. Could you please let me know the correct format or application I should use to successfully upload my recording? Thank you for your assistance.

I enjoyed seeing the steps involved! From beginning to end, it’s helpful to understand what goes into a demo/session.

I’m a gamer, and a LOT of people that hear me speak either say I have a great voice, ask me to read something to them, or ask if I do radio or podcasts. I am a natural bass and I’ve finally decided to listen to the feedback I get and embark on the journey of becoming a voice actor. My background is entirely in trades, mainly welding but I had to hang up my hood after a motor vehicle accident that left me with a spine injury. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Yes, book me up 5000 per day

Hola, aquí esperando que acepten mis audiciones para poder trabajar nuevamente en proyectos de TTS para Inteligencia Artificial. Saludos!

This was really cool thanks for the info! A Year Without a Santa Clause is my holiday movie, kinda sad for a kid but I fell for it hard and made it one of my holiday movies to watch.

Nice!

Great Video!!!

ahaha

I made it as a voice actor with only a $20 mic and a quiet room, I work at a studio with a couple friends, and there's a bunch of empty rooms where the voice actors would record the voices, I'm an animator as well, and I do most of the work, I write the scripts, I animate every single frame, all of that, and since I don't have a desktop device, I have to animate using my phone, I use flipaclip by the way

just switched from pro tools to adobe and it's a huge learning curve but this was super helpful

Hey, Mr Sibilance expert...why is there so much sibilancy in you video recordings?

I have naturally deep voice and my singing voice is an alto so I had it since childhood. I try to speak in a higher voice butthats's just exhausting. Don't understand why people hate on it if it's not intentional

Thank you bro, cna I apply the same thing for my voice in garagebnad

It drives me absolutely nuts, I honestly can't listen to the Kardashians at all, not that I want to listen to them whatsoever.!!

Super helpful--thanks!

You ignore my emails, you're "too busy" with phone calls, I'm getting really frustrated! For the love of anything, respond to me!

Wonderful guidance. Thank you

May I ask what mic you are using for this recording?

very helpful!

Great Advice! Well-articulated direction. Plenty to take home and work on.

Eternally Grateful for this video. Great Job !

Thank you for making this video. I studied Meisner as well in addition to many other forms of acting and these are the basics but many many people who jump into voiceover have no idea about this because they have no acting background whatsoever. So if they can just learn this one thingit will make a big difference for them

Wonderful, thank you!
