Rejected submissions
Is there any way to find out why my last submission was rejected (a contest)? I can't see the reason because I didn't get the rejection email in time, so there's no way to know how I can improve next time or what was wrong.

Hi Leigh!
I can totally help you out with that. Can you please share the recording you submitted alongside the project's remarks so we can review what could've happened here?
Thank you!!
How do I share those things? I have to upload it online somewhere I guess?
Figured out a way :-)

Instructions were: "I want exciting and enthusiast about our new line of diagnostics tools."
Hi Leigh!
Thanks for sharing! I was checking and the file has a lot of hiss. You can pick it up easier during the blank spaces. You can pause the recording and play it again to notice how silence vs hiss sound. You can learn how to control and fix hiss noise by taking a look at our webinar on the matter here: https://goo.gl/nlaCvU You can read the recap or watch the recording.
There are also several plosives throughout the recording. You can easily avoid this by recording with a pop filter and, if you're already using one, please record a little farther from the mic to avoid the p's, b's and breath noises to pop.
Hope this helps!
