Rejection as sample over processed
Hi,
I'm a new (ish) VO artist and my application to Bunny was rejected. They noted "Your recording sounds undesirably over-processed, which is impacting the quality of the deliverable. It may be due to a noise reduction plugin, an EQ, or a noise gate, for example."
I'm wondering if others have had similar issues or if someone with a more seasoned ear would be willing to take a listen and if there are any suggestions? Thank you!

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you very much for reaching out and using this space.
I shared your recording with our Quality Control team and this is what we got:
It seems like it has some boxiness to it. It'd be great to improve her acoustic environment.
There is 'boxiness' impacting your recording which makes it sound as if it was recorded in a very small space. Please ensure you record in an acoustically treated environment. If you already have acoustic treatment, it may not be adequate. You'll find tips on acoustic treatment on our community page: https://bit.ly/2MrNsSV.
Based on this information, we invite you to check the article and use some of those suggestions. We've seen a lot of Pros benefiting from that and improving their quality.
Let us know if you need any additional help, looking forward to your new sample
Thanks so much for the feedback! Much appreciated! :)
You're very welcome.
Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Hi Elizabeth,
This track sounds like it has had some sort of noise reduction applied. It also sounds to my ear like there may not be enough soundproofing in your recording space. Can you tell me what microphone and interface you use? And if possible, post a snapshot of your recording space and setup. That would go a long way toward helping Bunny staff to analyze any potential problem.
I'm not Bunny Studio staff btw, just another voice actor like you who likes to participate in the community.
Best regards,
Joe Brown
You should definitely consider Joe's advice, he's been around for a while and Pros tend to open to him and learn from his experience.
100% recommended!
