Would like to be reactivated
Hello! I would like to be reactivated. I was deactivated with the original group the end last year/beginning of 2018, when everyone's samples were reviewed.
I removed the samples that were rejected by VB and left the other ones.
My questions is, to get reactivated, do I post a new sample here via soundcloud, or do I just post new samples in my Voice Bunny account samples and have them reviewed that way?
Thank you so much for your help!

Great! Here are a few samples. Thank you so much!

Hi Evelyn
Thanks for sharing! I find several problems with your recordings.
1. The recordings sound overprocessed by the use of a noise reduction plugin. Your voice sounds very filtered and it sounds quite degraded. I recommend not using any type of processing in any way. As you can see, these processes usually degrade the signal a lot. It's always better to pinpoint where the problems are coming from and treat them by the source.
2. The voice is too present and has several mouth noises. This could mean you're recording too near to the microphone capsule. Try always to use a pop filter and to stand a few inches away from the mic to make sure the sound picked up is balanced.
3. The performance is a bit robotic and flat which is not ideal for us. We always look for natural, conversational reads that flow. Try to read the text several times before recording and get familiarized with it. This way, you will understand what you're saying, where are the natural and grammatical pauses and how and to whom you are reading the text to. This way, you can use the tones and inflections that flow the best for each section.
Now, can you let me know how you're recording? Which microphone, interface, etc.?
