Removing The Boxy Sound From A Voice Recording
A prevalent issue with voice recordings is a boxy sound resulting from a resonance. A resonance occurs from a low-mid frequency reflection based on a room's length, height, and width. This reflection can happen in both an untreated and treated recording space. Resolving the problem with a professional acoustic treatment designed to absorb the resonant frequency is best. However, minimizing the effect can be accomplished with a parametric EQ. This video shows how to identify and modify offending resonant frequencies for a voice recording to improve sound quality significantly.
Voice-Over audio engineer Lenny B walks you through a real-life scenario as he assists a professional voice-over talent with his voice recording quality. Finally, hear the difference it makes to the final recorded voice-over sound.
What Is A Custom Preset And Why Do I Need One?
A custom processing preset for your voice-over is a series of plugins explicitly tuned for your voice, in your room, and on your microphone. If you want to compete in today's voice-over world, you must ensure that your demos and auditions are extraordinary. Voice-over artists at every experience level from all over the world are fighting to win work. However, if you don't have a professional sound, you will lose out to someone who does.
Custom voice-over processing presets can take your audio presentation quality to the level necessary to compete with the pros. Instead of taking it upon yourself to tweak the parameters like EQ, compression, DeEssing, and saturation to name a few, you can hire a professional voice-over audio engineer to create it for you. Once you have the custom preset on your system, you have "The Sound" every time you press the record button. The investment pays for itself with the money and time saved. Here are the top reasons why they are so popular:
- A custom processing preset lets you focus on your strengths, leaving more time for pitching your voice-over and less time stumbling with engineering.
- A custom processing preset gives you the confidence necessary to help you perform your best.
- A custom processing preset allows you to outshine the competition, win more auditions, and get more work.
