I have recorded and submitted two projects to VoiceBunny yesterday that have been accepted by QC with no issues. These projects are: Tapple For Education (Project ID: 29556503AB13E465E892) and JoBiGo (Project ID: 98EBB33F3FCDC2455861). I have also recorded the Speedies listed above yesterday evening which have been rejected by QC for "audible room echo". I have listened to all of these files once again and I can hear no audible room echo or reverberation present. I would appreciate an explanation of why some of my projects are accepted quickly and with no issue and others are rejected for "audible room echo". My recording space is acoustically treated and I perform work on a daily basis for a variety of other clients outside of VoiceBunny with no issues. I've discussed this with Fatih from Customer Support recently and he has been very helpful but I would like a clear answer from QC.

Hi Margaret,
I've reviewed a few of your projects and your case is what we call a borderline case. This means your space needs a bit more acoustic treatment so your reads don't get rejected every now and then. Have in mind that not all recordings are the same, recording 1-inch closer might change the acoustics of a recording. The intonantion and energy of the read might also affect how it's perceived. Hence, the differing opinions.
The good thing is that your setup is almost there, I'd say you just need to adjust it a bit to get consistent approvals. Record away from any reflective surfaces (screens, windows, hard floors, tables). If needed, add acoustic tretment to your room.
I hope this clears up the reason for those discrepancies.

Sorry Sebastian, but this is not a satisfactory explanation. My setup is acoustically treated, so clearly you did not read that part of my original post. I have completed many projects for VoiceBunny and it concerns me that all of a sudden my setup is deemed to be not quite adequate. BUT, my setup seems to be good enough to hound me for a revision on a client's script change that I received today. Why would VoiceBunny want more work from me when clearly my work is not adequate? Your pre-written responses are laughable.
I'm sorry you don't find our response adequate, however this is not just my opinion but of several professional sound engineers and talents that work with us.
Unfortunately, your current setup is not giving you the best results. I've given you a possible and easy to implement solution to the issues we as professionals have found in your audio. I hope you take in to consideration our comments not only for your work with Voicebunny, but with all your clients.
I don't need advice from you or your "professional sound engineers and talents" to know that my setup is completely fine. It's a real shame that this is what VoiceBunny has turned into. Not that it was ever great to begin with. VoiceBunny's "quality control" is sad. You have to be consistent. Isn't that what you want from voice talents? Oh right, you don't care because there will always be another voice talent willing to do work for next to nothing.
