    Hi Heidi, thanks for your submission.

    Before we can reactivate your account, there is something we must address.

    Sounds like there is boxiness on your recording, affecting the quality of your deliverable, and also, it seems like you're overprocessing your audio, could be a noise reduction or deverb plugin.

    Is there a chance you can record a new sample leaving out all the processing?

    Thanks for your feedback Johnatan- 

    I reduced the levels and stood closer to the mic. I did not add any compression. Let me know what you think-

    Thanks!

    Hi again,

    Well, unfortunately, I'm still picking some acoustic issues. How about you share with us your recording space, maybe with pictures to fully understand what's happening there and try to figure out a better way for you to record.

    Cheers

    Guten Tag Heidi!

    Another vo guy here with a couple observations/suggestions.

    1] What I seem to hear are what's called close-order reflections - audio reflections from nearby hard surfaces such as the desk where your computer or monitor sit, possibly even the computer screen itself.

    2] Suggestions: use towels on top of the desk to help minimize reflections back into the mic; also angle the computer screen in such a way that your voice reflections from the screen travel away from the microphone.

    3] Finally, Johnatan's advice of sending a pic of your recording setup and space is great - he can make suggestions related specifically to YOUR setup.

    Best of luck -  great voice and delivery you have!

    Regards,

    Joe B.

    Hello Joe & Jonathan,

     

    Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my sample. I implemented your suggestions Joe - can you hear the difference? Also, there is no processing... this is the raw file.

    Hallo, Heidy!

    Thanks a bunch for reaching out again, we appreciate the efforts and the new sample.

    Unfortunately, there is still some boxiness present. I second Johnny's opinion, BTW: we would highly benefit by looking at pictures of your recording space, in addition to a detailed list of your recording equipment, DAW settings and anything that relates to your sound quality.

    Vielen Danke!
