where is the room echo in this clip?
I had the below read rejected because there was "room echo." I wanted to see if anybody else actually hears that, because I've listened to it a dozen times and I don't.

This was recorded in the same $5,000 soundbooth with the same equipment as the dozen or other so projects that I've had accepted.

Hi Brian,
You're right, I don't hear any room echo, but it does sound a bit "thin" to me, like you're missing the lower range of your voice. I think this is what the quality assurance agent was really meaning to say. Can you upload your raw audio with flat EQ, no compression?
I don't hear any echo or room noise, and I listened at full volume, which should have exposed the extraneous noise, if it was there.
I think the quality folks have three or four stock reasons that they apply, via cut and paste, to all rejections. "Echo" and "audio quality" are favorites. I don't know how many samples they have listen to during their work day, but given the importance of getting the best read to the client and helping us deliver that best read, we need better help with the rejection explanation.
It would help me if i could duplicate their environment. What PC and O/S do they use? What headphones? What sound player? What volume? If I can listen exactly as they listen, maybe I can hear what they listen for an tune my finished product. (This is a serious question, Tara. Can you share this info, please?)
I'm with you, Brian. I record and process my reads in the same studio with the same tool chain, and get the occasional inexplicable VB rejection. Maybe there is a quota? Just kidding. I hope.
Hey Cat, I think I answered your questions over in the other thread here: https://support.voicebunny.com/hc/communities/public/questions/203278908-Qhat-does-needs-to-be-clearer-mean-
And no, we don't have a quota! In fact, rejecting reads costs us time and money. We HATE having to reject reads, but like I said in my other answer, I have to figure out how to reduce our rejection rates significantly and so far, being extra picky has worked.
