Ngl having the little gremlin blob is cute even if it looks a lil low effort

[@JayQtea]

You have a softer voice than most, but I actually have a similar problem of voice being too soft. At my customer service job I had to learn to project or become a little too loud. I have yet to personally start making content but I appreciate the tips on keeping your voice taken care of! Please make sure you’re taking care of yourself as well 💕

As a person who doesn’t talk much, people always say to me even if my voice sounds deep it’s very soothing to hear since I only talk a lot when I’m talking about someone I’m really interested in.. other than that I’m just quiet and friendly :]

[@kazachi69]

I like the new small chibi style

[@parfait923]

0:16 i also hardly talk, it makes you less used to talking and makes your voice softer

[@LeDuck24]

i love how soft your voice and art style mix together

[@Pluzzie]

Aah yes blue yeti my fav microphone for ASMRtist who used it, reasonable priced and better sounding in general. Audio quality of the video was audio-ly noticeable, good to hear without earphones and your speaking voice has more confidence than before

[@ObieDobieZoomer]

You make the pain go away whenever I listen to your videos or watch your animations. Thank you Shortcake ;--; *hugs*

[@frustrationcorner6551]

this is actually the most helpful video ive ever came across in the five years ive done video and editing

[@_GoldenBow_]

*ok, this channel just appeared on my fyp randomly, and may i say, IDHSJEHDSJ THE ARTSTYLE IS SO FREAKIJG CUTE BRO RAAAHHHHHH* *and the voice* **is** *soothing…*

[@sabihaahmed-h5w]

I really really wanna be a KZbin storytime animator too im saving to buy a tab so hopefully i might start in a month or so but your one of my most favourite KZbinrs and my inspiration 😁

[@blackpanther13665]

imagine if shortcxke didn't write what she would say and the first thing she says is "extjhruheuh mhuh mhm hm blagageagabhfogun nogaherhgaghbun" 😭

[@shortcxke]

yes

[@šokolataSK]

@@shortcxke indeed

[@SierraMysteria]

As a content creator with a really quiet voice, Thank You for this guide! It's so rare to hear from someone who has the same struggles I do, I love this info! Thank you for this, so many valuable tips! Tip for you, you can download plugins so audacity will scan your audio and apply a de-essor and things like silence removers automatically!

[@vocoworker8222]

Happy to say that I learned something new myself from watching the vid! Pretty excited to see what you have planned for the art video :DDDD

[@fairyrileyy]

they’re so right i just found you about an hour ago and im already obsessed w you and your voice!! your art style is absolutely adorable too

[@emojigirlanimations]

I’m really enjoying this series! As an aspiring KZbin artist, I found this super useful and you give the info in an entertaining way :)🥳

[@PixelCora]

Wooo amazing job shortcxke. You did great

[@maxdereus6282]

The way you did the transision of milinote was realy smooth

[@FrostBxteBerry]

I luv ur voice, ty for making this video it taught me alot!

[@mooseliriousboi2381]

I always forget how much I love watching Small Time animators love your vids. 😎👍

[@HarmonyMoonbeam024]

As an aspiring storytime animator, I am SO GLAD this video came across my feed! I am already pretty good with editing in KineMaster on my phone, and as a writer, I can write decent scripts (+ as an aspiring voice actress, I can read said script pretty well without stuttering too much) but the recording and bg music tips will be such a huge help for when I do eventually get to recording my first video after I FINALLY get myself to actually finish my schoolwork in a timely manner (I swear- there are times when I suspect I may have ADHD or smth 🥲 At least I’m homeschooled though, so I end up finishing way before 5 anyways) Edit: WOOOOOAAAAHHH I need to stop it with the word vomit!

[@AcousticExpert1]

GODDAM THE ART GOES CRAZY

[@zoniczoom9058]

I really enjoy the video and thank you for making me understand audio and I do love the touch of Mario 64 music in the background.

[@gionutz9865]

I will probably forget this until a couple of years later when I would actually need to record audio and suddenly remember your video. Also, I legit have the same mic, It's quite good.

[@NefariousDreary]

Very informative video. And yes, you have a very pleasant voice. Also, I love your character design! Super cute

[@piebytez]

Wow, with all the work that goes into this, and I guess being around well singing family members, helped to make your videos sound good. Cool, keep going.

[@KiroSama87]

The quality of your videos are EXPONENTIAL WTF.... Keep it up! I always love seeing your passion towards your content. :) 15:29 angry shortcxke got me laughing, not gonna lie

[@CookieButter06]

This is actually super helpful, I’ve been doing KZbin animation for only about 8 months now and never really took into account audio quality since I only used my phone for basically everything but this actually makes me wanna commit more audio wise so I can hopefully sound crispy. W video W video, also hello!🐝

[@Kaiisalittleconfused]

THANK YOU! Im not gonna be a storytime animator but i am making an object show! So this helped A LOT THANK YOU!!!!

[@natycrap]

the fun part (at least for me,) is making my own music and sfx for my videos, it's really fun, but it does take a lot of work also, even tho im not an animator, this really helped :D tysm

[@mitxyfox]

This was really fun to know! I use Audacity for editing my audio and I actually have a Microphone with a Pop filter :3

[@DanielToonsTV]

0:00 - 0:14 They... they have a point! (love your vids btw) also, I downloaded your link to milanote, & it actually helped me a lot! Thanks, shortcxke!

[@Shane_McGillicuddy]

Really like the comments characters in opening. Not like I'm asking or anything 👉👈 On serious note, cool to see this channel keep growing. Also is that a spon... AHHHHHHH!!!!!

[@Jeremiah_Gamer_Boy]

You are really good at these videos. I am pretty impressed. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍

[@kaixie..]

YAY SHORTCAKEEEEEE !!

[@CometPsych]

Very helpful video! And I really like your little Strawbloby lol. So you've asked for tips, here's the only audio tips I know. Adjust your sample rate when exporting from Audacity to 48,000. It's industry standard and typical of high quality. I have also been advised to try the encoding option set to "Signed 24-bit PCM". If you edit at all with DaVinci Resolve, I like the de-esser in there quite a lot more than I do the Audacity one. So far with those settings my microphone quality sounds ✨Amazing ✨ I really look forward to seeing your growth on this platform and wish you nothing but the best! You're doing fantastic so far!

[@GDRhythmic]

You could probably use eq on the s sounds if you know how to do that. Removing some of the high end may help.

[@Notkiskote]

Thanks for the advice, I’d didn’t know that audio needed to be edited this much 😭

[@tobywolf64]

Great explanation, well organized and scripted, cute art, and adorable voice? Have a sub!

[@AroShadeWeaver]

1:21 I actually have this issue a lot so I can understand the struggle Even more so with my vocabulary having large words (And along with voice-cracks)

[@PurpleHijabi]

Being a story time animator seems so fun ! :O

[@keyblade669]

An angel? Thank you so much I needed this. I’ve just been recording in my closet and then I listen to it and give up lol.

[@SirineElmers]

Thank you so much. This was one of my problems for creating a channel.❤ but now I just need to wait and get the utensils like a microphone and computer 😅

[@DesoloZantas]

That's an interesting talking strawberry 👀

[@destellr]

never thought id be this early but YEAHHHHH EARLY SUPPORT!!

[@LathaNWorldz]

I guess your voice helps me think to be honest! ❤❤❤

[@StarEyedRuby]

I saw steven and IMMEDIATLY subbed.,,, Nice vid btw!! I'll try to use these tips for my own stuff ^^

[@Sugarshockedcat]

This is awesome!! Also could you make a playlist for the tutorial videos?

[@Oradoodles]

Thanks for his video! I really didn't know a thing about recording audio before watching this 😅

[@Janiya_H531]

I Love your art style! It's super inspiring

[@ziko9519]

Great video!! Try exporting your audio in WAV or FLAC format instead of mp3 to get the highest quality

[@Milky_Yippee]

just watched it from one of my favorite creators, amazing video and STEVEN UNIVERSE MENTION AGAIN :D

[@Titihkek]

Thank you for you hard work keep it up and hello from Hungary

[@KRIS.DRAWS..2]

[@Porcupine2009]

I like how the sponsorship was embedded into the tutorial, very impressive

[@PurpleConeComics]

As you released this video I have been using your scripts video for a “wanna be” story time animation channel. Thanks again! 🎉

[@WhispDaDragon]

just in time! I'm making my first ever voice over rn! haven't started yet :)

[@coder5815]

Drawing people based on thier profile pic in the intro is really dope

[@K-Lowe]

I used to make storyline animations when I was 12 on a laptop made in 2014... now I work on an animated series where I use a free software called firealpaca to animate it. If you know where to look, you can make content on any budget. Trust.

[@its_justmj7]

[@mmmillow]

lol, the only thing i'm doing with my audio is just going into audacity, recording, putting brief pauses where i don't say anything, then using the noise reduction tool, its better than you think it would be but its still not the best.

[@MoKuZai]

thanks best one, will take note!

[@Graymeow]

Cute stickers!

[@sketchiibread]

This was so helpful thank you for making this vid😊I'm always confused on how to make the videos itself and what programs to use for the drawings do you have any tips on what to do?

[@AmbrosiaMooshine]

Yo this was an amazing video I love also you have a very pretty voice. I use my phone to make video the one on my channel is my first video, I have been trying to make a second one but it hasn't been going as the first one I was working on was taking forever so I decided to make a different one but while I was working on it my phone completely died, and I've been to lazy to restart making it on different phone, oh well - :)

[@ElFern32]

THIS IS ANOTHER BIG FAT W

[@JesseJokes]

Nintendo makes such good background music

[@CHERRY_ED]

verys epic video i love it!! and your voice is so cute 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@tytan555]

I'm surprised you haven't tiered one of the most common (at least in my case) options for microphone, the headset microphone. It will never replace the quality for a stand alone mic, however if you go for a high quality headphones, you might as well a mic in price. I know it was taken from the mics YOU used, however I was left astonished after you drew a headset in the video later. I guess it's kinda similar to earbuds. Not the same level though.

[@shortcxke]

oh yea!! that's a good point, i forgot about that :0 i only used it once though, cause it was rlly hard to hear my own voice using my headphones mic (i would mark it as D tier for that)

[@theBlueVelvetShow]

Undertale? I love this video

[@lemonsodakitkat9387]

I'm struggling so much finding non-copyright music for my videos... ;( thank you! I'll use the website you suggested!

[@lifeisgolden]

Chibi shortcxke is a vibe. Idk why, but looking at them makes me feel all fuzzy inside 😅

[@lisamarie9307]

I love this video ❤❤❤

[@KRIS.DRAWS..2]

Question: Do you do the animation first or the voice-over?

[@Ineedaburrito]

Wait shortcxke is Filipino THE SHORTCXKE IS FILIPINO! (Filipino repesentation!) Also thanks for the video this is extremely helpful stuff

[@KoalaOwlPaws]

Questions: What apps do you use to put your audios in for videos? What apps would you recommend for mobile users for audios? What/how do you use the audios for videos you record? I do apologize for my questions, I'm very curious.

[@shortcxke]

ill def answer this in a future video but ill do so rn for u :3 i use sony vegas pro! idk anything for mobile users sry

[@KoalaOwlPaws]

@@shortcxke Thanks for at least answering! Also I really love your videos! Stay safe!

[@jaynitrox3783]

Idk why her character and voice looks cute 😊

[@_xoJayQueenx_01]

but your voice is so good even if you did commentating I bet it would still sound good :)

[@awab8457]

I couldn't stop hearing your Ss after you pointed it out😂 It's kinda cute but I hope I stop hearing it before it becomes too much for me 😂

[@mashroomanimation2024]

Horaaayy..thank you thank you video Now I can improve my audio for my animation ❤ Did you add voice distortion in audacity too ? 😊
