Processing A Female Voice-Over Recorded With The SHURE SM27 Microphone

In this video, I work on a project from my client Marisa Urtado, a young voice-over artist focusing on animation and video game work. First, I review why a proper recording level is critical for sound quality. Then, I will walk you through the plugin preset I've created for Marisa using the Waves Scheps Omni Channel and the F6 Floating Band Dynamic EQ. Next, I compare the unprocessed and processed sounds with each plugin. Finally, meet Marisa and discuss her voice. She shares how she finds voice-over work on Twitter.
Submit YOUR Voice For Processing and demo your processed voice sound free! Voice-over artists worldwide are invited to submit their voices to be featured in a forthcoming video. Any skill level is welcome for recording on any type of equipment. And you can even stay anonymous if you'd like. Find out more details on the submission page. A custom processing preset by Lenny B for voice-over is a series of plugins explicitly tuned for your voice, in your room, and on your microphone. To compete in today's voice-over world, you must ensure that your demos and auditions are extraordinary. Voice-over artists at every experience level from all over the world are fighting to win work. However, if you don't have a professional sound, you will lose out to someone who does. Custom voice-over processing can take your audio presentation quality to the level necessary to compete with the pros. Instead of taking it upon yourself to tweak the parameters like EQ compression, DeEssing, and saturation, you can hire a professional voice-over audio engineer to create it for you. Once you have the custom preset on your system, you have "The Sound" every time you press the record button.

She really has a great, unique voice. You’re right, Lenny. She has a great way of conveying a lot of emotion through her tone.

[@stephaniesims4503]

Fantastic video, with great processing points. Thank you for sharing, and THANK HER for sharing her story as well. As a voice actor myself, I was very excited to scope out this video and I will say it definitely did not disappoint.

[@stevelarsen4690]

Thanks Lenny and Marisa! Great talent. Wow.

[@AtHomewithTomandRhonda]

Great interview!! I like the way you relate to people Lenny. It makes it very pleasant to work with you.

Great job Lenny. Thanks for this. Really liked your interview and the feature with Marisa - the voice actor behind the voice, and her motivations. A+ vid!

[@soulfaktor]

Great insight, thanks for sharing Lenny.

[@RaymmanVO]

Hi Lenny, I really like your approach and love the end results that you can create. I'm just trying to get started again in VO and need all the help I can get! Best wishes, Ray

Thanks !

[@ryanbenes3263]

Would the ideal recording level change between using 24 or 16 bit? Great video!

[@HeyLennyB]

I suggest the same level.

[@techbyfinne]

As always an interesting video. I am about to start a new KZbin channel about tech (in Danish). Audio is what frustrates me the most and is difficult to get in place :)

[@arabicmlm7524]

nice vedio thnx lot

[@strivenPhakula]

Can I use this voice in real-time or is it only used for recording?

[@HeyLennyB]

It depends on your equipment. Some interfaces (like the Universal Apollo line) allow you to use the processing in real-time. However, you must use Universal Audio plugins. Alternatively, some software will enable you to process in real-time using your computer's DSP. This includes OBS, for example, or other software like AudioHijack from Amobea (for OSX). However, audio interfaces that don't include DSP processing onboard require processing to happen after it's recorded. I hope this explanation helps.
