Recent application dismissal and revision request
Hello, recently I submitted a voice bunny pro application request, as I have worked on many a project before and am very confident in my audio quality, I was disappointed when I was sent back a revision saying it was "too boxy". Saying it was recorded in a small space and there was a link to proper acoustic treatment. I found it strange because the link leads to a person suggesting you record in a small space for better audio quality.
Quote:
"The smaller the space, the better as there will be less reverb and reflections if you record in a space that is more confined. Also, small spaces are easier to fill with absorbent materials making if you have ambiance noise. Small spaces can vary from rooms and attics to closets and laundry rooms."
This is kind of disappointing to be honest because This also leads to people making their booth smaller in small spaces only to have you reject them, which they were just doing what you were suggesting in the first place.
I'm not sore at anyone in any way, I've had audio engineers review my audio and they say it sounds great.

Hi Grant,
Thank you for reaching out!
We do suggest recording in small spaces, however, it is important to notice that if not treated properly it could harm the recording instead of helping.
We'll definitely talk to the team about it and revise the document to better reflect those suggestions, thank you for noticing that.
We tried opening your file but it is private, would you mind changing the sharing settings to "anyone with the link"?
Thank you!
Here you go, I edited it
Hi Grant,
Thank you for that, I just shared it with one of our QC agents, and here's the feedback:
He has some mouth noises that might be better to correct, especially on S and F sounds
Also, there is some boxiness to it
It seems their revision was accurate, it seems you could benefit from experimenting a bit with the mic positioning to find a better spot on your recording space. Would you like to do that?
