Requesting Feedback on audio quality please
Hi Bunny Inc. Help Team!
I was told that I would no longer receive projects until I can improve the quality of my recordings. Angela advised me to " to please share a recent recording with us in our Community space where our QC manager, myself and other QC team members will be able to provide feedback."
I've attached a DropBox link to the recordings. Your feedback is appreciated.

Hi Domingo!
Thanks for sharing.
So from our side I can tell your voice is really nice! I really like your voice tone. However, I can pick up the following problems:
1. Room echo. The file contains a big amount of room echo that dampens your voice a bit. This is 100% related to your space's treatment so I do believe it's important to consider making some adjustments as to how you're setting your studio up. Have you checked our simple acoustic treatment options article? You can find some easy and cheap tools you can try to see if it makes a difference before making a bigger investment. You can read it here: https://help.bunnyinc.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/203461624-Tip-5-Basic-acoustic-treatment-is-not-rocket-science
2. The voice sounds processed by a noise reduction plugin. This is quite noticeable because the voice sounds quite filtered, especially for the letter 'p' and 'b' which in your case are sounding as if they have been cut. I don't know if it makes sense, but I can sense their frequency have been too filtered. Can you please bypass any extra processing you have added to the files and share raw recordings? We may be able to help you identify some problems there!
Thanks! :)
Hi Domingo,
Thanks for sharing your audios in our community. I hear a slight room echo, which would be great to get rid of. Are you recording in an acoustically treated space?
In terms of frequency response, I hear a boost in the lows that make the voice sound a bit muddy. Try adding a high pass filter to clean a bit of the low end and bring clarity to your voice.
The reason why your account is on hold is because the majority of the samples you've uploaded have been rejected. Most of them due to over-compression and room echo.
You’ll find tips on acoustic treatment on our Community page on how to solve these issues! https://goo.gl/vGqUIW .

Hi Angela and Juan,
Thank you for your prompt response.
With respect, I'm a bit confused in that the recordings that I shared with you via the DropBox link above are three actual Voice Bunny audition submissions that were previously approved by VB Quality Control and for which I've already been paid by VB. As a matter of fact, one of the uploaded recordings (Captain Orlov) actually WON me the job...again, all previously approved by VB Quality Control. Can you offer any clarification here?
As far as the samples in my current VB Profile, I have deleted all but three samples, leaving only my very first Application Project that previously passed VB QC from which I was awarded the title of Bunny Pro, and two other VB contest submissions that were also previously approved by VB Quality Control.
Please advise as to if my current profile samples now meet Voice Bunny Quality Standards.
Thank you for your time!
Kind Regards,

Hi Domingo
Thank you for sharing your observations.
Keep in mind that we are becoming more and more stringent with our QC standards. For this reason, what could've been approved in the past, may not be approved now. Before, we were more lax with what we were letting go through but since Juan Santiago came on board, we've been working very hard to ensure we're stepping up the quality we are providing our clients.
Having said this, I was checking your profile and I do see that you removed most of your samples. Please, remove the following sample as it's rejected as well: https://voicebunny.com/samples/121611
As per the reinstating of your account, we would need you to please share a new recording with your updated setup. We will take a listen and let you know whether it's up to our standards or if any extra adjustments need to be done.
We'll be here to help!
Hi Angela,
Thanks for the reply.
Per your suggestion I have removed the aforementioned rejected sample, leaving only two samples in my current profile.
As far as sharing a new recording, I am happy to do so however I am in the process of redesigning and improving my studio. Might I be allowed a little time to get back to you on this? I hope to be finished with my studio improvements in roughly three weeks.
Please advise.
Kind Regards,

Hi Domingo
Sure! Take your time to submit the recording here. We'll be waiting for you as long as you need :)
Great!
Thanks for your patience Angela!
I trust my profile / account will not be deleted in the meantime?
Hi Domingo
Don't worry! It will be there and we'll be working with you while we are able to fix these troubles.
