    Dear Carrie,

    Thank you for your recent submission and your continuous effort to deliver high-quality voiceover work. After carefully reviewing your recordings, we've noticed some issues with boominess and boxiness in your audio that we believe could be improved to further enhance the quality of your submissions.

    Boominess often occurs when there's an excess of low-frequency energy, typically around 100-200 Hz. This can make the audio sound overly bass-heavy and less clear. Boxiness, on the other hand, usually happens in the mid-frequency range, around 200-500 Hz, giving the recording a confined or 'boxed-in' sound quality.

    Here are some technical recommendations to help you address these issues:

    1. Acoustic Treatment:

      • Ensure your recording space is adequately treated to absorb low and mid-frequency reflections. Adding bass traps in the corners of your room and using broad-band absorbers on the walls can significantly reduce boominess and boxiness.
      • If professional acoustic treatment isn't feasible, consider using DIY solutions like hanging thick blankets or placing bookshelves filled with books to break up and absorb unwanted frequencies.

    2. Microphone Placement:

      • Avoid placing the microphone too close to your mouth, as this can accentuate the proximity effect, leading to boominess. A distance of about 6-12 inches is recommended.
      • Experiment with off-axis microphone placement (angling the microphone slightly away from directly in front of your mouth) to reduce low-frequency buildup and achieve a more balanced sound.

    3. Equalization (EQ):

      • Use a parametric EQ to gently cut the frequencies causing boominess and boxiness. Start with a narrow Q (bandwidth) and reduce the problematic frequencies by a few dB. Common starting points are around 100-200 Hz for boominess and 200-500 Hz for boxiness.
      • Be cautious not to over-EQ, as removing too much can thin out your voice or create other unwanted artifacts.

    4. Invest in a High-Pass Filter:

      • If your microphone or audio interface has a high-pass filter, consider using it to roll off frequencies below 80 Hz. This can help reduce boominess without affecting the clarity of your voice. If your microphone or audio interface doesn't have such a filter, you can place it in postproduction with an equalizer. 

    Implementing these techniques can significantly improve the overall quality of your recordings by eliminating unwanted frequencies that detract from the clarity and natural sound of your voice.

    I hope you find these recommendations helpful. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to support you in producing the best possible voiceover work.

    Best regards,

    Thank you for all the helpful suggestions. I believe the delivery and distance from the mic are the issue. I will go back to an older configuration in the studio that did not have the issues you are hearing.

    Got it, Carrie, if you want to further reassess the samples with your new configuration, do not hesitate to contact me again.

    Cheers,
