Urgent Mentor
I've been setting up my Studio for Voice Acting and gets rejected each time.
What do I need to get a good recording?
Next question, When submitting the Demo, Do I submit a Clean (Unedited (No Effects))? or Do I edit it before I submit it?
This is my first time getting into this? I don't want to give up on this? Please help me get a good level of Voice Bunny.

Hi Jaquan
Thanks for your interest in joining!
Keep in mind that for VoiceBunny your recording must be clean and edited appropriately. However, you should not use any processing (reverb, compression, noise reduction, etc.). Checking your file, I see you added a lot of processing that doesn't let me understand your quality. Can you please share a 100% raw recording?
Also, please let me know how you're recording. This includes equipment you're using, how's your space treated, etc.
Thank you!

Hey Jaquan,
Listening to your sample, the biggest issue right now is room echo. Besides the shield you must have some treatment in the walls as they can be quite reflective. Also, make sure you record closer to the mic, that will also help the voice sound less distant. Have a look at this article for more tips on acoustics: https://goo.gl/vGqUIW.
Hope that helps,

Hi Jaquan
I agree with Seb. The recording has a critical level of room echo which impacts the overall sound of the file. Aside from checking our tips article, I'd also suggest you to review our webinar on Acoustics. This webinar is really nice because we went over each problem that could be created by insufficient and/or inadequate acoustic treatment. You can find it here: https://help.bunnyinc.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000007524-Acoustics-101
I hope it helps!
Thank you for the responses Angela and Seb ( I appreciate the help)
I came across this video because I'm short on cash and want to make a living voice acting and composing music.

is using the materials he suggests recommended or is there another cheap method that can help me until I can treat the room.
Or should I just cover my walls with mattress padding haha.

I checked his video and his recording, even with the booth, has a lot of echo.
The materials he's using are nice and would work, however, aside from building a booth you also need to add some extra padding to your walls and surrounding area of the booth. Check the articles both Seb and I shared. We give a lot of insights of materials you can use and how to treat certain surfaces.
