Great Content! I struggle with the S’s and quite often spend too much time editing them and while you provide excellent solutions in Post editing, I an diligently working on my delivery & enunciation to minimize the time spent on Post editing. Thank you for sharing your tips!
Bill, Thanks to you, I actually enjoy the editing as much as I do the recording! (which is great, because I always have plenty to do, lol!) I play around with this stuff now & make it part of the fun because you make it so much less intimidating and manageable. Thank you so much for all your fantastic input!
This is useful even without using the same software. I didn't know this was as much of a problem until working on my first demo, so the timing of this is excellent!
Hello Bill. Thank you for this and all your videos on VO and practicing the art of it. I'm a new fellow to this and appreciate your guidance.I hope you're keeping well and engaged during this odd time.
Hi Bill. Helpful techniques but I’m a little confused as to why not use the native adobe audition de-esser? It worked pretty well for me in post editing before getting a DBX286s so now pretty much all sibilance is gone at source in recording. In this case though I’m sure a little time spent identifying the sibilant zone and using the native de-esser to reduce those frequencies would work well.
I'm using Audacity in trying to record an audition script I received from a local radio station and I cannot figure out why it is when I record, it seems to have a slight pause on certain words that I speak. I've tried recording it over about 10 times and keep getting the same problem. Should I try Adobe Audition software instead? Or am I just doing something wrong and aren't aware of it?
Hey Bill, or anyone commenting here that has this knowledge, I have a question that may sound silly but forgive me as I am inexperienced in this. I want to get into the voice over business but my question is that when you refer to our careers as our business, do you mean that voice actors actually create a business for their work or is it all individual? I don't particularly know how it works with doing jobs and taxes. Thank you in advance for your response!
Being a voice actor you are actually creating your own business. You are essentially offering a service (your voice talents) to other folks for their projects. This makes you an independent contractor, creating and building your brand. This does not necessarily mean you have to create and LLC or become otherwise incorporated, as there are pros and cons to doing that versus not doing that. Either way, if you are doing this to be your career, you are building your own business.
@@mortician6 thank you for the response! That was very helpful information. So you don't exactly HAVE to create an LLC or sole proprietorship? Also if you dont mind me asking, if you just take jobs posted online working as an independent contractor, how does it work with taxes?
SUPERB explanation, Bill! You are a great teacher, and your taking the time to help us grow is a wonderful gift! Many thanks!
You're welcome! So glad to hear you're getting a lot out of these videos.
I've been playing with this for a week..... and you solved it for me in 9 minutes. Thank you

Three's the charm. Just found your "Sneak Peak" video. Adobe Audition it is. Thanks for the great example. Very helpful to watch your work flow.

Awesome video. Thank you, thank you!
Great tips! Would this work the same in Pro Tools?
Thanks! This has really been bugging me in my recordings
I guess I do have a question. Do you record directly into Adobe Audition? Thanks.
Hey Bill, when you find those hot spots in spectral view, how about using Audition’s "Auto-heal". Does that work well to blend in the audio?
I haven't had a time to really play around with Audacity. I wonder of this is a plug in on there. This would help my denture whistle.
I use Audition for music. Editing that spectral view saved some bad clips that I was given to mix.

I've tried recording it over about 10 times and keep getting the same problem. Should I try Adobe Audition software instead? Or am I just doing something wrong and aren't aware of it?
you might try another software program. if it happens on that it could be your computer isn't quite processing the software well.

No you do not need to. you do need to factor your tax payments since your payment will not have the taxes taken out.
