What This Is

The Live Raw Audio Diagnostic is a focused video session (up to 60 minutes) built around your submitted raw recording.

You begin by submitting your unprocessed audio through the intake form.

I review it in advance — carefully and technically — so that when we meet, we are not guessing.

We are isolating.

This is not a preset.
This is not generalized advice.
This is not a quick fix.

It is a structured diagnostic session designed to determine whether your recording is operating at professional threshold — and if not, what is preventing it from doing so.

What We Evaluate

During the session, we examine:

• The interaction between your voice and your recording space
• Room reflections and acoustic behavior
• Mic placement and distance
• Gain staging and signal behavior
• Tonal stability across phrases
• Whether processing is refining or compensating

We do not try to fix everything at once.

We isolate the dominant constraint first — because that’s what actually moves your sound forward.

What You Leave With

You leave knowing exactly what needs to be done to remove the factors limiting your raw audio capture.

Not guesses.
Not broad suggestions.
Not “try this and see.”

By the end of the session, you will know:

• The dominant constraint affecting your recording
• Whether secondary issues even matter
• The exact adjustments required
• The correct order to implement them
• Whether you’re already at professional threshold

I won’t make the changes for you.

But I will tell you precisely what needs to change — and how to approach it.

In some cases, the solution is simple:
A mic placement adjustment.
A gain staging correction.
A change in how your space is being used.

In other cases, achieving professional threshold may require improved acoustic treatment or equipment investment.

Either way, you leave with clarity.

You will know what’s necessary — and what isn’t — so everything downstream, including processing, can perform properly.

You will also receive a recording of our session so you can review the plan and implement it confidently.

Who This Is For

This session is for creators who are serious about operating at a professional standard.

That includes:

• Voice actors auditioning consistently
• Narrators and audiobook producers
• Podcasters whose voice is central to their content
• YouTubers building authority through spoken content
• Working professionals who want more control and stability

It is not designed for casual experimentation.

It is for those prepared to adjust their setup if necessary.

How the Process Works

1. Submit your raw audio through the intake form.

2. Indicate that you’re requesting the Live Raw Audio Diagnostic.

3. I review your submission and confirm fit.

4. You receive scheduling details and invoice.

5. We meet for a focused one-hour session.

I personally review submissions and typically respond the same day.

Investment

Live Raw Audio Diagnostic — $300

This is a one-time session.

If later you pursue a Custom Processing Preset, this diagnostic ensures processing is refining — not compensating.
