Tips/advice before submitting audition!
Hello all! I submitted my first audition and got rejected for audible echo and background noise, I've tried to do some moving around in my space to make it a little more sound proof and would like some other ears to listen and give me some advice! I can't really hear what they were meaning so I was really hoping I could get some assistance here!

Hello Drew,
Thanks for reaching out here!
I was checking both files and the second one did get rid of the room echo, congrats! There were a couple of other things on the first file that I think are important to address, but really easy to fix. The first one is that some plosives are present; since the second text doesn't have many "P"s, it is a bit hard to say if that was fixed or not, but fortunately, you can always use a high-pass filter at around 130Hz to get rid of the low-end component of those plosives (you can test the exact cutoff by checking that the plosive is gone but that your voice retains its sound as best as possible).
On the other hand, the breaths in the first file could also cause a revision/rejection, so we recommend editing them out with some soft fades so the read feels natural :)
If you want to give it another go and apply again, please send us a message to support@bunnystudio.com! Also, if you want me to review any other files please share them here.
Kind regards,
Daniel
