New Sample to Reactivate My VoiceBunny Pro Profile
Hi, I've not been active on the platform for a while and see that my profile has been deactivated, and I'd very much like to get back involved. Here is a link to a short raw audio sample of my voice for an upcoming video game.

It was recorded with my new studio equipment which includes a voice booth, a Sennheiser MK4 large diaphragm XLR condenser microphone, connected to a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen Digital Audio Interface and recorded using Pro Tools.
Many thanks,
Brendan :)

Hi Hector,
I'm so sorry for the delay in getting back to you! The link above should work for you now.
I hope it's okay, please let me know if you still have trouble accessing the file.

Hey, Brendan!
Thanks for the access, mate. Much appreciated. I have a few comments about what can be heard and seen upon close analysis of the sample provided:
1) Proximity Effect - This is very much welcome in the sort of reading, but it does generate a bit of muddiness in the low to the mid-low frequency ranges, with some near-plosives happening in your pronunciation of hard consonants and a bit of sibilance.
2) Levels - While this is a 'dramatic' reading and the dynamics are needed, one thing to keep in mind is that in Bunny Studio, we require our pros' submissions to be as even as possible and normalized to -3 dBFS so that clients can have enough headroom down the line to manipulate the audio should it be needed.
3) Echo - Audible from [0:44.776] to [0:53.542] where your voice raises to add the necessary intention to those lines, your room acoustics come through a tiny bit. This is most likely due to transients bouncing back and forth during the reading, but might be something worthy of looking into as it could reveal a slight reverb issue in your room acoustics for high energy reads (as it usually happens to everyone in home-based recording settings.)
4) White Noise - Slight hiss is present throughout the recording, but then again, nothing that can't be easily solvable.
Here's your sample with minimal processing, just adjusted to try and correct these issues to a level at which I'd feel comfortable as a client/engineer down the production line.
Please let me know what differences you find and I'll do my best to come up with a handy dandy guide for you, once we're able to hear a more natural read, maybe a commercial and any other recordings that could give us a better idea as to what suggestions can be applied so that your audios meet the Bunny Standard and we can reactivate your profile.
Cheers!
