I would say that your voice is quite pleasant. The only things which stuck out to me as possible dings against it would be the rather long silence at the beginning (personally, I'd say no more than half a second would be fine) and there is a tiny bit of echo, especially during some of the moments where you are speaking louder. I recommend holding a pillow (a long one) across the back of your shoulders, behind your head, to absorb any bounce coming in from behind you. Obviously, if you have a more permanent solution than a pillow, that would be best. But the pillow is quick and easy.
Hi Milen!
Thanks for sharing :)
I agree with Pony that your voice tone is super nice. You sound a little stiff when you perform but that's just a matter of reading the script many times and rehearsing a bit more to achieve a nice, natural and smooth performance. Your voice is super warm and nice!
About the quality, I pick up a huge amount of hiss noise and room echo. The most key issue there is actually the hiss because it's very present and on top of your voice. I recommend you take care of that first. We hosted a webinar on this matter that you may find useful. You can read the recap or watch the video here: https://help.bunnyinc.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203418064 My guess, of course I can be wrong, is that it's a mixture between electrical noise that's coming from your microphone and your space.
To treat the room echo, we also have some awesome tips on acoustic treatment you may found useful, too! Check it out here: https://help.bunnyinc.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203461624 We're firm believers that your studio doesn't have to be the prettiest, most expensive space to serve its purpose!
Hope this helps :)
Hi Milen!
Angela has already shared some excellent resources. For a quick run down on how to fix the hissing, this may help: https://theproaudiofiles.com/sibilance/.
As for the room echo, apart from the tips listed above, I can recommend egg cartons as a very good noise dampener. I have some painted bright colours and hung on the walls around my studio. Helps a lot and more permanent than clothing, but still cheap.
You have a lovely voice! Small tricks will help it come through even better. :)
I hope this helps!
Hi All! Thank you so much for the valuable feedback. I am in the process of addressing all these issues and love constructive insight. I should be able to remedy all this very soon. How soon will I be able to re-audition. Thanks again :)
Hi Milen!
No trouble at all. If you request a reconsideration now in your profile, it'll take around 7 - 30 days for the new project to be sent to your profile.
However, if you want to be 100% sure that your quality will be approved, I'd suggest you share a new recording with us. We'll be here to help :)
Thanks Angela, will do!
Any time, Milen!
