The Fatman Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello I am The Fatman from http://www.absolutespazz.com I would like to get into the voice over area. I need some Constructive Criticism/Advice, so I know if I have anything close to what it takes to do voice overs and/or production of voice overs. I have to let you know up front , i'm not a professional and may never be. I have a deep south accent and I can't hide that. Anyway here is one of the Promo's i've created for my radio show. And one Station ID for the station. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello, Fact is that you use a cheap mic ... Is that right ? For reason that into your samples the "deep" level can't be heard I like the most the liner of "LifeLine" Can you please post into this topic some "DRY" voice samples ... That way We can manage some sections of your voice to uplift the quality of your samples. Looking forward ! Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fatman Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Thank you for the fast reply. I us a USB Blue Snowball desktop studio mic. I think I paid about $99 for it. Here is the link to where I posted the dry read you asked for. Thanks again for the quick reply. I'm sorry I misread what you had ask me to do , I will post that dry read here.

The Fatman Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Great thanks and if you don't mind let me know what I did wrong...... I am hoping that it's in the production , not in the mic... but who knows. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello, Attached "your" file who has been edited with some tools What have I done ? - Normalized all regions - add EQ - add compression - some finishing my own style - the second part has a small echo (also known as canyon) First of all ... your volume settings are way to low ... so you are losing "power" You gonna hear with my edits that your voice sounds totally different ... more volume, stable and clean Be sure to make your reads always converted as mp3 (at least 256kbps) or converted as .wav file (mono or stereo) Check out the attached file Visit and listen @ BW !

The Fatman Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 That was very different from what I had. Sounded Great. what are the chances of you telling me what software you are using. And by the way, would you tell me what kind of Mic you use as well. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fatman Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 I want to thank you again for that advice , it did help. I would really like to talk to you more at some point on Programs and Mics. I feel I should also tell you that all of my recordings are done in my livingroom which is a wide open space of about 16'x24' not sure how much difference that makes. But I would like to upload the same dry liner and then an edited version of that liner. no effects at all just the difference between what I was doing and what you showed me there.

GKIye Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello, The chances to know what software I'm using are HUGE I use Coold Edit pro aka Adobe Audition but I don't gonna tell you witch plugins I use to uplift your voice :D ... thats to everyone "his or her" little secret .... At my place I use a NT1A of Rode with a preamp of my Behringer mixer (the smallest edition) Gonna check your new files in a moment ... Visit and listen @ BW !

GKIye Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 After I "normalized" your regions ... you gonna find 5 attached files From 2 untill 5 you can hear the difference untill the final edit Check all files as WAVE form into your editor and try to find out what has been done to your file aka voice Enjoy !

The Fatman Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thank you for all the help so far and I will get back with you tomorrow. I have been asleep and now i've gotta get ready for my show. I will get with those samples in the morning though. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fatman Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hello GKREurope, Thanks again for all you help and advice. I wondered if you can tell me where I might find some free plugin packs for either Cool Edit Pro 2.1 or Wave Pad Sound Editor? Preferably Cool Edit but I use both. Thanks , I am still working on trying to figure out how you did those but I have made some progress with the advice on EQ and Compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 In fact the plugins are included into your software CE / Adobe see "Effects" and play around with some of the settings You can make custom settings at anytime Visit and listen @ BW !
