the beautiful thing about this is after the EQ you just hear more of his voice, making it perceptually louder without actually being louder. well done!
WoW, French voice over guy here. I was thinking this morning that it would be nice if somebody would listen to what I’ve been doing for so long and make corrections on my eq’s. I’ve been hearing and mixing my voice for so long that I am sure I am not good at all at equalizing it. Will follow your videos, they are super interesting. Bravo!
Hi @radioan969, Send me an example of your audio and I will demo the sound of it with EQ for free. Go to lennyb.com and click on the red button that says "Submit Your Voice." Hope to hear from you!
Finally an eq tutorial using a voice somewhat similar to mine. I've been told I sound like Dennis Haysbert so it's not quite the same but close enough. Good stuff as usual Lenny.
I think you did a great job opening it up. His room obviously isn't perfect so it's a case of doing the best you can. My only feeling, and I've noticed it with a couple of your other videos, is that your low end boost is maybe a taaaad much for my ear, gives me that 'FM radio in another room' womma womma feeling, which is impressive but I imagine some engineers would tame it straight away if you submitted that.
Hi Dobbatron. I'm glad you pointed that out. You are absolutely correct, but I make it sound that way for a good reason. I start by processing each voice to have a full, bold, huge attention grabbing sound. The bigger, the better! Here's why. The voice over game has changed. Most voice over job opportunities are posted to websites these days. Projects are posted, and lots of voice over artists compete for the job. Additionally, jobs are often submitted to specific voice over artists based on their demos. So, as a voice over artist, you are often competing against hundreds of other voices. If your audition (or demo) doesn't standout, sound polished (processed) and outshine the competition, you won't get the job. So I want you to be noticed and with my custom sound, you will sound bigger, better, and definitely impressive. But, there's more... With each custom processing setup that I do, my clients have complete creative control to revise the sound. I also offer 3 flavors of the preset, "tone only," "light processing," and "aggressive processing" versions. This way you can use a setting to eliminate the competition on the audition (processed), and a professional sound to submit to a producer when they have the gig (tone only or light processing). I also additionally offer to my clients the option to revise the sound after they live with it for a while. My goal is for my clients to be "in love" with their sound. Voice over artists who use my custom processing win more auditions and get more work! 👍 Will you send me your voice? It's free to hear what your voice would sound like. Thanks for watching and following along!!!
@@HeyLennyB thanks for taking the time to clarify that Lenny, v glad to hear it, makes total sense and should give people confidence you know your stuff. I wasn't trying to be an internet know-it-all, I love this stuff and it's important to me too. I do similar with my own processing as it is now, def not something I would submit to a client as finished but it's good to stand out coming out of someone's laptop speakers. All that said though I will send you something as I'm fascinated to hear what you can do. Fully unprocessed is best right? Oh and thank you very much for the gracious offer!
@dobbatron, there are a lot of "internet know-it-all" types out there. I know you're not one of them :) It was a very good question. I'm constantly measuring my depth of subject content. You required more and I'm happy to explain. Yes, please send your voice! All of the instructions and details on located here: 🔗 Submit Your Voice For Custom Processing: bit.ly/Submit-Your-Voice
Hi love your work Lenny but I sent you a VO for you to look at and had nothing back from you. You are clearly a very skilled man at this I only wish I had your knowledge
I have to say that I use this mic for podcasting, mainly because I had laying around doing nothing during lockdown. One thing I find, mainly because my room is not treated, it tends to pick up interior reflectance more than I would like. I use RX deverb but it often sounds a little over done and I recently switched to Sonible entropy eq and eq2. Its helping but I'd like to know what frequencies are generally associated with reflectance in a standard small, square room with just a sound blanket?
Hi Poalo. I can help out if you send me some audio and I'll take a listen and tell you which offending frequencies I'm hearing. You can send your audio here: www.lennyb.com/get-your-voice-processed-submission-form
i make videos of a female with the rode wireless pro, and apply subtle eq with the davinci fairlight eq, female lav preset, when i tried a senn mke600 the voice is horrible,
Hi @rumorscameras. A shotgun mic like the MKE600 is a very different instrument than a lav mic. Mic position and room acoustic have much to do with the audio result.
Hi @bjclenster, it's true, my EQ approach has evolved since this video. I'd probably separate the corrective EQ adjustments and follow them with the sweetening changes. You're right on target! :)
Hi Raul, I may be able to help. Please send me a sample of your recording first, without the studio channel. Follow the instructions here and send me an audio file: www.lennyb.com/get-your-voice-processed-submission-form

I'll use your voice for a RUclips video (only if you give permission) to illustrate the different processing levels for one of my custom presets!
@@HeyLennyB that would/will be awesome :)
I'll get something through in the next couple of days. Thanks again
Hi love your work Lenny but I sent you a VO for you to look at and had nothing back from you. You are clearly a very skilled man at this I only wish I had your knowledge
Hi Gary. Yes, I received your file. Just taking a few days off over for the holiday. I will send you some audio asap. Thanks
@@HeyLennyB Yes just got married here to my soul mate after 20 years so you can see I never rush into things lol
Happy 2022 Lenny and I love what you do.
You added some warmth and slight bass I think. Much better.
Interesting. Thank you 😊
I have been doing mine to ear and I tend to add maybe too much higher frequencies back in 🤔

Hey Lenny..former client here. I realize this video is a few years old, but, would you typically carve out all this in 1 EQ pass?
Hi @bjclenster, it's true, my EQ approach has evolved since this video. I'd probably separate the corrective EQ adjustments and follow them with the sweetening changes. You're right on target! :)
Hi Lenny please you can the presets in the Presonus STUDIO Channel?….Tube drive?…Attack, Release,Radio Treshold???….please help me
Hi Raul, I may be able to help. Please send me a sample of your recording first, without the studio channel. Follow the instructions here and send me an audio file: www.lennyb.com/get-your-voice-processed-submission-form
@@HeyLennyB The audios were sent...waiting for your answer
Yes, I received it. I will respond soon. Thanks!
which software did you use?
Hey Hugo, the software in this video is Logic Pro X.
Good
Fundamentally
But taking too much mid & llower body bass takes the flavor /character out of it .,
