Re: Better narration, needs tuning?

I'm still really interested in your expert thoughts on improvements on EQ, presence, or anything else Then we'll be waiting for an actual theatrical expert which I'm not. I'm happy if you sound human. The only voice quality thing I noticed in the clip is the area between one and two seconds which s...

Re: Better narration, needs tuning?

Do you have anybody whose presentation you like? How do you compare to them? I noticed a new user affliction that they have no idea what's current and expected. This is where you say, "I really like the work of [Name Here]. His readings are clear and easy to listen to. That doesn't always work....

Re: Better narration, needs tuning?

Many people go into training with the idea they're going to talk slowly and painfully as to someone with learning difficulties. I can't listen to those...at all. However, you can overdo corrections and produce work that sounds like the legal boilerplate at the end of a commercial. NotIntendedToRepla...

Re: Bring on the critiques...

You didn't read far enough in "How to submit a test." https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=349993#p349993 The second posting has actual graphic captures of their room tone requirements. This is a picture, so the links don't work. Screen Shot 2019-07-11 at 1.36.02.png Everybody ge...

This is a forum not a help desk and you won't always get the same helper elf time after time, and any poster can jump in to help. This is a lot worse than you think because in ...
