Wish to reactivate - newer, better samples got rejected, old ones got approved?
Hello,
In the recent QC check more than 50% of my samples got rejected. I have deleted the rejected samples. My concern is that most of my older and not so great samples passed the check and got approved and newer, better samples (I have upgraded my system and built a studio and record only higher quality samples now) got rejected.
So I am confused about the criteria / standard of samples that get approved on VoiceBunny as of today.
Here are some of my latest samples.

Hi Mohita
Given that, currently, the platform has over 30.000 samples uploaded, it's taking a bit of time for us to go over all of them (the reassessment process is being handled manually at the moment). That's why you've probably noticed that some samples have been rejected and others have not, yet.
With regards to the files you've shared with us, I can perceive an inconsistency in terms of quality. For instance, the second file (Devlabs) has a huge echo impacting the audio. On the other hand, the last one has loud breaths (at 0:05 and 0:13) and a bit of hiss (perhaps too much gain while recording).
We're looking for raw files that have been clean up from mouth clicks, breaths, and other undesired noises. Processing should not be used unless it's a bit of corrective EQ or minor adjustments that will not damage the quality of your file.
Hey Mohita!
Seconding what Oscar just clarified, I'd go out on a limb and add that if you would be able to keep quality consistent with what can be heard in the first link (Assistive) we wouldn't have any problems with your audios. The only critique I have for that file is that it presents the tiniest bit of white noise, which could derive from gain levels being a little too hot while recording, then when normalized it gets amplified. Other than that you sound very good on said sample!
Please try and replicate whatever you did to achieve that first result, because it's working!

Thank you very much for the inputs! How do I go about reactivating my account? Do I need to upload more samples here on community for QC?
