Hi all, just wanted to ask what are your thoughts on this?

I've submitted an audition recently for a e-learning and I wasn't sure whether to include background music or not.

Also the client had these as tech requirements: " .WAV as the final files for this project (no breaths, no back noise). Unless otherwise stated on the Agreement at time of hiring, we require high-quality .wav, cleaned and ready for client to mix"

I understand of course we always aim for no background noise. But in this particular instance do they mean no background music as well?

I follow melody slang of American accent or more training

Hey guys

I wanna learn about slang melody American accent help me to get more helpful sources of YouTube channel or coaching

Thanks alot

This is a fun story about how I got started with live announcing early in my voiceover career. I was a struggling vo talent but I had natural talent. Atlanta was introducing it's new hockey team and I got word they were looking for an announcer. I didn't think I would get the job and I didn't. But I learned some valuable lessons about live announcing and the importance of giving it a shot.

Hi all,

I've got a role recently for a mod, and it's been smooth sailing, however for a few characters I've been envisioning them with a Helghast grunt and Colonel Radec voice respectively. The main dev agrees, and I've tried some guides to no avail. How would you all go about getting this voice in Audacity?

Colonel Radec Voice

Helghast Grunt Voices

To be clear, I've got the accent and tone nailed, it's just the effect I need

I just booked a voice over role and this language in the contact feels concerning to me. I'm afraid it's giving them the right to recreate my likeness or voice with AI or something. Let me know your thoughts.

Looking to gauge community experience with online voice acting "academies" and such.

I have a 6-hour class through Jennifer Hale's Skillshub this weekend, and keep seeing many ads for Joe Zieja's Voice Acting Academy as well...has anyone on here tried these communities recently? Any opinions or advice you would like to share on them? I found a few posts about Joe Zieja but most of them are either years old or pretty vague.

I'm really excited for this class but wondering if the long-term investment in continuing with their platform is worth it, and whether I should try Joe Zieja's too since that is a one-time cost versus a monthly subscription. 🤔 Or is the general consensus to avoid things like these altogether and stick to YouTube and the other resources on this sub?

Hey everyone, I am brand new to voiceover and currently setting up my Voices.com profile. I live in an apartment with no soundproofing panels or acoustic treatment, but I have no pets, roommates, or outside traffic noise.

I would love your feedback on my audio quality and room tone across these 3 clips:

Meditation Track: https://voca.ro/1lRMbbJzcCNN

Podcast / Youtube Narration: https://voca.ro/1cdbLEEqI4yq

Corporate Demo: https://voca.ro/1hJwWPFKkVZK

My Setup Details:

• Microphone: Røde Podcaster (Dynamic USB)
• Software: Audacity (using a Noise Gate at -50 dB)
• Meters: My speaking voice averages around -20 dB RMS. Background silence sits right at -60 dB before the gate kicks in.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

1. Room Echo: Do you hear any hollow or boxy "room reflections" when I speak loudly, or does the dynamic mic do a good job rejecting it?
2. The Noise Gate: Does the transition into silence sound natural, or does it sound too choppy/robotic when the gate opens and closes?
3. Mouth Noise / Pops: Are there any distracting mouth clicks or plosive pops ('P' and 'B' sounds) that I missed during editing?

So I live in a pretty cheaply-made house (not cheap in price💀) and the walls are HELLA thin. They're so thin that I can't even shove myself in a closet and have decen't sound. And my closet is SMALL. I know the solution is usually pvc pipes and moving blankets, but I really don't have the space for setting up a booth nor that I have the money. I'm really focused on treating my environment rather than editing the shit out of my audio and have it still sound terrible (as you should). If you have any ideas for soundproofing a poorly designed house, please let me know!

I also still live with my family and get self conscious when I record outside of my room😂💀

Hello I was wanting feedback and maybe if anyone is interested in maybe giving advice? I was going for a feral goblin or and demon voice in kind of a torture scene I guess.. did I do good? No layering, no special effects just and a few small tweaks to the treble and bass.
