My examinational voice over
In verification process I get that answer:
"Room echo throughout.
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".
I recorded my voice over using condense microphone and I am surprised, that main issue was describe as "room echo throughout", because I don't hear room echo in my sample.
Can I ask you to write more details about my sample?
Sincerely,
Dawid

Hi David
Thanks for letting us know. Would you mind sharing the recording here with us? You can share a link from Google Drive, Dropbox, Soundcloud or similar!
Hi Angela,

Hi David
Thank you for sharing. I can, indeed, pick up the room echo very clearly. It's present throughout the full voice over. Room echo refers to the extra unwanted reflections that are created when you record in a space that is not treated acoustically in the appropriate way.
I suggest you review how your space is treated and review your mic's positioning. You may want to review if you can add more dampening materials and see which surfaces around you are causing these reflections.
Hi Angela,
thank you for comprehensive answer.
Other aspects of the recording, my diction and my voice sounds good?
Hi David
In regards to the performance, the voice sounds quite forced and slow. For this reason, it's not very natural and lacks a clear flow and pacing that is easy and comfortable to follow. Sometimes it sounds a bit too read and not conversational.
I suggest you practice a bit more on the conversational aspect of your voice overs. We hosted an awesome webinar with one of our most seasoned Pros, Tommy Griffiths. He's also a voice acting coach so I believe his technique to achieve conversational and natural voice overs should help.
