Sample Feedback
Hi, I just applied to this website for the second time. The first time I applied I was told there were clicks and background noises in my recordings. I have since upgraded my equipment and software and eliminated these. I reapplied with clean audio and still got denied for not meeting "quality standards" but told to post to this forum for feedback. I have attached my samples. Could I please receive feedback on why my samples were not accepted and what specific point in my audio where there was a problem as well as a suggestion on how to fix this. Thanks.

Hi Kira,
Thank you for reaching out to us on here.
Fantastic read in each audio! And it's always lovely to hear people being so proactive in their work too, so thank you for making the already implemented changes. :)
I had a listen to your audio files, and they all have room echo in them. Along with background noise, which sounds like traffic.
There is also white noise being picked up.
We would suggest adding more acoustic treatment to your recording space, making sure to cover any hard surfaces as this can reflect frequencies. So this would include, table tops, mic stands, adding a rug, etc.
As for the white noise, it's best to find the root cause for what is making that noise, such as electrical appliances close by, a loud computer fan, the pre-amp dialed too high, etc.
Here are some useful articles which we have on our community page which will help you to identify and tackle these problems:
