The Joys of Noisegate.
An update here: I still use the noisegate, but now I use the built in one on my ART VOICE Channel box. Tuned just right it works a treat, although I still pass it through noise removal with a sample from what little ambient noise there is inside t…

Ahh, Scott Brick! I like him, he's narrated a bunch of stuff I've listened to. It's kind of unfair to compare him with Ellison...Ellison is reading his own work! That's kinda cheating :) But that is Scott Bricks way to Narra…

VAs - Check this out - voicebunny.com
It depends on where you're trying to move. I've signed up for Voices.com, Voices123.com and Voicebunny.com. I've got the paid accounts for moth the first two as well to give them a try. Voices123.com costs nearly 400 bucks a year -…

Well, you're kind of talking apples to apples here. Audiobooks, at least in this day and age, ARE dramatic readings...and I know my Audiobooks! I've been a Audible.com platinum subscriber since 2003 and have over 250 books in my 'li…

What MIC do you use? (And what kind of MIC you SHOULD use)
To dredge up an old topic, I just picked up Shure sm7b Dynamic Mic, supposedly the legendary work horse of the VO world. I've not had a LOT of time to us it yet but so far so good. I honestly can't tell much between the quality of it an…

Oh yeah, you have to have the situation the character is in as well. I take what is going on to account in how I voice a character, to the extent of adding FX even. Are they out of breath, are they yelling at someone far away, are they hyped up on…

VAs - Check this out - voicebunny.com
I comment further on this . VB is an offshoot of Voice123.com. Voice123 is not a free either. You can get a free account but it is nearly useless. The membership there is nearly 400 dollars a year. Steep to be sure, but I guess this filters ou…

Getting into a character is a process and I think it depends on how much you have to study before hand like Aanok is saying. For things like cartoons that are 'new', as in the shows I mentioned before, the VAs had nothing to research, it …

I'd say a few things about the entire 'acting' part of this. It really is more about acting than anything. You can have all the best equipment and dodads in the words, but if you can't act then yer outta luck. It's someth…

Okay! 2nd Edit pass done, here it is: https://www.mediafire.com/?44945bh6cxdeb5d This still needs some audio clean up and some time tweaking but I'll worry about that during the final mastering. Also, we'll need to get Scribbler to re-do…

I'm actually doing the 2nd edit pass now, although I'm going to have a few things for you to re-do Aanok...have to put on my directors cap!! I'll do a take on it to give you an idea. Not much, just a couple of things where the infl…

Utilizing Audacity to improve audio quality
I do, I'm starting to branch out into other things and with getting caught up on the FOE Heroes project I plan and expanding a bit more. The only thing I've done, publicly, so far is this: Going to 'proper recording environment…

Recording and mastering
I cant speak to the technical aspect of it but I notice if you get too big a sample you start getting artifacts....I assume because the longer the sample the large the range of frequencies that get captured in the end which results in more of the or…

I just need to get off my duff and put the new recording done, the re-record is much better now that Aanok had something to bounce off of, as it were. I am almost done with FOE: Heroes - 2nd to last (Currently the last anyways) Chapter is in the ca…

Re Waitress, I think so. I need to ask..but it should not be hard finding someone to record that once sentence. As for what parts, I need to listen back through and note them down. I recorded mine as if I was having a conversation, your lines we…

Utilizing Audacity to improve audio quality
You've got the right idea. My processes, using Audition, is much the same as it has the same tools really. First thing I do is pass it through noise reduction with the ambient noise print, then through the compressor to boost the levels. I a…

Yeah, it's kind of a hinky way of doing it. I think it's a limitation of the back end software...would more typically expect a login to manage your uploads and such.
