Would love some insight on rejection and obtaining reconsideration.
Hello,
I was rejected based on this comment.
Array Hi - the quality of your submission does not meet our standards at this time.
Here are the issues found in your application:
Background hiss and room echo, you can hear it clearly throughout your recording.
As a VoiceBunny Pro, you must record using professional equipment in an acoustically treated space. Your performance needs to sound engaging and conversational. We also expect the recording to be properly edited, unprocessed, and ready-to-use.
My equipment is a Rode NT1A Anniversary Vocal Condenser Microphone Package with screen, and PreSonus AudioBox USB 2x2 Audio Interface. I am in a room that is 14x15. But without sound material on the walls.
I did not apply any effects to the file at all when editing it. I sat about 4-inches from the microphone with it slightly off to my right, at about mouth level.
I would love to apply for reconsideration, if I know how to fix the issues. Any help or insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi Larisa!
The space where you are recording is not appropriate. You can hear how your voice sounds distant and there's too much reflections that make it sound as if you were in a classroom, kind of thing. Also, the noise floor is too loud. There is loud hiss throughout the recording that makes the edits very noticeable.
I invite you to our community where you can find material that will help you correct these problems. You can start here: https://goo.gl/vGqUIW

Hi Larisa
I agree with Juan Santiago here. The room echo is very high so it does sound as if you are recording under the wrong acoustic circumstances. I can also sense that the edits are rough and not faded properly. This creates clips and editing mistakes that should be avoided and that make the recording sound robotic and without flow.
I would also add that the performance is quite unnatural and flat. I suggest you also review how you enunciate and ensure your recordings sound as as conversational and natural as possible as this is usually what our clients want!
Thank you, your feedback is very appreciated! I have purchased material to resolve the sound echo, and will refine my performance. Is reconsideration a possibility?
Thank you!

Hello, I submitted for reconsideration, and I did receive a new try out email. However, there may be a glitch in your system, I received dozens over the course of a couple hours (about every 8 minutes) last night.
