The Quality Control team uses the following premises to review any asset submitted to the system:

Project Requirements:

• The audio matches the age, gender, accent, and language selected by the client.
• The audio has the correct length selected by the client.
• Assets are well-edited (no audible cuts or breaths).
• Deliverable is complete.
• The sound editor includes all the assets required. For example, voice(s), music, SFX’s (if required).
• The mix is well-balanced. In terms of volume and frequency, assets work coherently and aesthetically.
• Voice(s) are easy to follow and understand. They stand out well in the mix.
• Volume is consistent throughout the whole file.
• The mix has a natural and appealing dynamic range.
• The audio is well-compressed and not distorted.

Technical Requirements:

• There isn't a room echo.
• The voice over sounds at a proper distance from the mic.
• There isn't a distortion/clipping.
• The volume is normalized around -3dB Peak.
• There are no editing issues (i.e. clicks, pops, audible cuts).
• There isn't more silence than needed at the start or end (0.5 secs is suggested).
• The audio doesn't sound heavily processed (i.e. noise reduction plugin, EQ).
• There isn't heavy compression and/or limiting.
• The audio sounds as if it was recorded with professional equipment.
• There aren't breath noises (i.e. loud, undesired, and distracting).
• There aren't mouth clicks/mouth noises (i.e. loud, undesired, and distracting).
• There aren't plosives.
