slimpsy Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hey all, newbie here. Really just new to broadcasting in general but have always wanted to be heard and feel I have a good voice to step into it all with, or at least that's what I'm told ;) Really glad to have found the site, seems quite informative and friendly. Hoping to get some critique on my voice and approach to doing some dry recordings. I've been told my voice is most suited for voiceover/announcement but I've always wanted to be a music DJ. I've attached a couple quick generic samples for opinions/critique using a local radio station out here in Columbus Ohio. Please tell me what ya think! Good to be here and hope to learn and grow with ya'll! -Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi Will, Welcome to BW ! Your voice is for sure "superb" but your samples are recorded with a way to low volume so I adjusted your files a little aka as it should sound Hope you and fellow members gonna like the result Visit and listen @ BW !

slimpsy Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Heya, thank you so much! I actually had the files normalized, however forgot to apply the filter before exporting to mp3. . . one of many many mistakes I'm sure I will make in this journey ;) Thanks again!

GKIye Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 at first you have to record your voice with a higher volume level after that you can normalize several regions and add one or more effects to it If you record your voice with a software (Adobe or other), please check the tab "windows record mixer" and activate "line-in record mixer" ... that way you gonna achieve a "normal" volume Visit and listen @ BW !

billh Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Welcome to BW Will, I see GK is helping you. I don't think you can get any better help. He has helped me as well with voice overs. Although I still mess up "I'm Retired" Donations PayPal.Me/artistview . I only do dry reads, if you want FX's you'll have to add them, I might add them. If you use my voice please link to my art site AbstractArtist.xyz, Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimpsy Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Thanks for all the replies, glad to know I'm in good hands I'd definitely like to record some other samples and would love any guidance you all could give me on doing so. What is the "ideal" recording suite for windows? I do have a decent "beginner" mic, the Blue Yeti, however I know it's a far stretch from commercial quality, it really produces some nice tones!
