Audition Critique
Hey guys!
So, I just auditioned for VoiceBunny and didn't make the cut. I totally don't mind, because it is a testament to the quality of the site!
Here is the rejection message:
Hi,
Thank you for your submission; we greatly appreciate your effort. Unfortunately, we won\'t be able to approve your application due to the following issue(s).
- Room echo (reverb)
To listen to my audition, just go here:

Here is a link to my equipment:

And this is a picture of my setup...
Any thoughts on what I can do to improve the quality? Better mic? Better acoustic treatment?
Thanks a bunch,
Collin Miller

Hey Collin,
Listening to your audition, there's a bit of background hiss in the recording. It could be coming from a fan or A/C. Also, there are some reflections that are especially noticeable in loud parts. Perhaps, try finding another space to record in like a closet or another small room.
The good thing is that in terms of equipment you're all set! That combo should be alright for starting out and getting decent results.
Hope that helps,
-Seb
Thank you for your reply Sebastian !
So, I readjusted everything and tried again. Here is the remastered version: https://soundcloud.com/collin-miller-856765910/voicebunnyauditionremastered
Do you think that this one is acceptable? If so, how long does it take for me to get a new audition project?
Hey! I'm not able to listen to the last sample, it says track not found.
New audition projects may take up to 30 days.
Hi Collin!
Same happens to me, the track is not found. Also, keep in mind that we prefer that you fix the issues without using any processing and/or mastering, so I suggest you to re-record the file instead of adding processors!
Looking forward to your recording.
