I finished an assignment from my Opa to do a little voice over for him.
As you'll hear it was kinda hard for me since there were so many big words, so I stuttered a lot through them.
I hope you like it!
This is my audition submission to Focus on the Family. The other voice actor is my younger brother.
They are launching auditions across America to find the next Adventures in Odyssey voice. Kids ages 6 to 15 can audition for a chance to win a trip for four to the Bahamas during the Focus on the Family 40th Anniversary cruise in November 2017! During the cruise, the grand prize winner will perform live with Adventures in Odyssey actors during the 30th Birthday Live Show.
This morning I was editing a podcast for a lady, Melissa K Norris. She was recording outside, but one big problem was that she had a strong background noise. I knew there was a way to take it out without taking out the sound of her voice, and that was using the noise reduction.
What you have to do is select a half a second or more (make sure it doesn't have her voice in it, because it eliminates whatever you select to be reduced), then click Effects > Noise Reduction / restoration > Capture Noise Print.
Then you select the whole part in your recording that you want the noise to be taken away (this time it does not matter if the voice is in too) then you click Effects > Noise Reduction / restoration > Noise Reduction (process).
You can then play around with the settings until you have what you want. Once you're finished, click Apply. There you are!
Well, I've got more! I must say, it's fun doing these. I think it really makes it sound better!
Today I decided to start using song tunes, so I found a good website with free downloadable tunes for ads and videos. if you're interested in the website, here's the link: http://www.bensound.com/.
I think the added song tunes really makes the recordings sound more 'powerful'.
Here's the recordings. One of them which you might recognize as the Lego ad "Let's Build." The other one is an ad for a hospital.
