Audition help: voice does not match the age selected by our client
My audition was sent back for revision for the following: After a thorough analysis by the Quality Control team, we regret to inform you that your deliverable does not meet the project requirements specified as the voice does not match the age selected by our client. Please note that we only accept genuine voices. We suggest you re-evaluate the options selected in your profile and select those where your voice sounds best in order to achieve great results.
Keep in mind this doesn't mean that your deliverable has poor quality, only that it doesn't match the project's requirements.
I can try to sound younger but I'm 59 so...

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Craig!
Your voice is really good! I liked it a lot!
The intention sounds a bit forced and kinda salesy at some times. I would suggest you try a more natural read. We want it to be upbeat and cheerful without sounding super sales-like. Also, I agree that your voice is more on the senior side. For which category did you get the project? We may need to adjust the settings there!
Also, about the quality, I listen to it a bit too bright. It's not super uncomfortable, but it has a slight boost in the 3k - 8k range that can get tiring to the ears if reproduced for a long time. Did you use processing for the voice over? You may be using a filter that is boosting these frequencies.
I can also sense a slight hiss throughout the whole recording. This is easier to capture at the end of the file. I suggest you review our webinar on hiss noise so you can pinpoint where this noise is coming from. This is the link: https://goo.gl/rlk6nZ
Hope this feedback helps!
Hi, Craig!
Congrats! I see your application has been approved :)
Best,
Juan.
Liked your read. Can you hear the click right around the "N" sound of "fanatical support?" And you have a bit of popping on your "P" sounds. A bit of mic technique, a pop shield, or some editing will make things as clean as a whistle.
Hi all;
I was able to audition again and it was approved.
Thanks for your comments. I found them useful.
Awesome, Craig!
