Hi Hannah,
Another VO person here, not VB quality control and can't speak for them, but the track sounds quite good to my ear. The only thing I would do is edit out any mouth noises (noticed a few near the end) and perhaps clean up the silences a tick, then re-submit.
But great voice and very nice read from my perspective.
Best,
Joe Brown
Hi Hannah, thanks for your submission.
Let me start with: you have an amazing voice, and a great read as well, that's amazing.
Now, there are a few things we could work on to make that audio even better.
Two things:
Please try those suggestions and let me know what you think.
Thank you so much Joe and Johnatan. Such friendly and helpful advice. I have never been told about the green apple trick! What a winner!
I will let you know when I resubmit a better recording. :-)
Thanks again!
Hannah
I did not know about the green apple trick either. Thank yoy Johnatan for point out that article from Angela. I will keep the apple juice handy!
Very welcome guys, thanks for taking the time to read and taking advantage of our resources.
You know we're here to help you guys be even better every day.
Joe, you just got a new tool to help some other Pros.
Hannah, looking forward to your new recording.
Have a great day.
Hi guys,

Thank you so much in apple advance!

Hi Hannah,
This is very good, you've managed to improve a lot, congratulations
I have a couple of comments for you:
0:39 'terms': at the end of that word, there are mouth clicks, be careful when finishing words.
The gap after 'terms', you could manually edit out the background noise, and even shorten a bit the silence gap there.
Plosives, this issue can be resolved with the adjustment of the mic's position, use of pop filter and a proper distance from the mic.
I think we're really close to what we expect from our pros, keep going, we're almost there.
Hi again,
Thank you so much for feedback again. I will continue to try!!

I think you are absolutely correct about being too close. I was practically on top of the mic! I already have a rhode pop filter in front of rhode mic so its definitely me.
I also wonder. I use Audacity. Do you recommend any software which possibly makes clean up easier or better. I do think its just down to me though!
Thank you so much again.
Hannah :-)
This one is a tad further away. May be bette?

Hey Hannah, well this last one is way better than before, that one we would approve for our clients.
Regarding your question about the software... there are many options, and not all of our Pros work with the same one, each one has a different one, for any reason, that could be the way they work, the way it looks, how easy they think they can move, so at the end of the day, it comes down to you, to try them, practice, see what you like, and commit to being the best in your software.
My advice, pick one that you like and practice A LOT, that way you'll be amazing at that one and your work will benefit from that.
I'll be back later today or tomorrow with news about your reactivation.
Thanks for being awesome!

Best of luck with new projects coming your way.
Remember, we're always here to help, or talk... so don't be a stranger.
Cheers
Hi Johnatan,
Yay! Thank you so much for all of your help! It has been so helpful and inspiring to have a little push in the right direction. I think I will stick with Audacitiy then as I have used it for a while although still learning.
Of course we are off on holidays now until New Years Eve, but being part of Voice Bunny again on return will be a great way to begin 2020.
Hope you have a wonderful festive time and very happy New Year!
Hannah :-)
Very welcome Hannah,
Glad I could help, if you ever need something else please shoot me a message.
The secret is a lot of practice, I'm confident you'll be doing amazing!
I hope you have a merry Christmas and a wonderful new year with your family and all the people you love.
Best from all of us at Bunny
