I was a 5 star voice on Voicebunny for years, with wonderful reviews from clients and repeat clients who were thrilled with my work. Per quality control recommendations, I bought, and am now using, the Cloudlifter CL-1 Mic Activator, and truly believe it has made a huge difference in sound quality! Here is a raw file, with the breaths still there, and just normalized, nothing more. Fingers crossed I get put back on the roster:)

Hi Tanya
Thank you for sharing.
The audio still has a lot of hiss noise. Which preamp or interface are you using? The sound does have way too much noise and I'm afraid it could be coming from there. If you listen to the file, you can see that even the 'f' and 's' sound as if they were pure white noise sometimes.
I believe there maybe something that requires revision on the equipment you have at this moment. There could be a damaged piece that could be impacting how the voice is being picked up. These are all just guesses from my side as I don't know exactly all the gear you use, but it does sound to me very hissy.
I'm sorry for the inconveniences! :(
Hi Tanya!
I agree with Angela, there's still too much hiss.
So, you are coming out of the mic into the CL1. That will amplify the signal, but you will probably need to add some additional gain when you come to the interface. Depending on what preamps your interface has, they are probably noisy so you need to go easy on it so we don't add unnecessary noise. It's better to record softer, hopefully around -6 db peak, and then raise the volume in the DAW, through normalization or gain. That'll help us keep the noise floor down.
Are you doing any additional processing? EQ, compressor, limiter?
Looking forward to you next audio,
Juan. :)
