NOISE REDUCTION

Today I have been editing a recording of a speech.

The recording was very muffled and had lots of background noises, so I tried out an effect: "Noise Reduction."

I found a tutorial for how to use the noise reduction. It's super advanced so I'm still learning how to use it. 

Here's a picture of the recording and the noise reduction bar:

SPEECH VOLUME LEVELER

Then I tried the "Speech Volume Leveler," I'm not sure if I have already blogged about the speech volume leveler, so you might be familiar with it. 

with the speech volume leveler you can select a recording and then change your recording so that it seems as if recorded from a certain distance.

I a hoping I will be able to finish the recording tomorrow.

Have a good day!  :v)

Today I practiced the ten commandments from the bible. I also edited out breaths, "ums", and long spaces. 

It may sound not as good as my usual recordings because I recorded it in a different room, which made it not sound as good, since it was bigger and more air bounced off the walls.

Here's what it sounds like when already edited:

Today I recorded myself saying "Test 1 2 3" and clapped in the middle of what I was saying. 

I am doing this so I can learn and get used to taking out sounds like this in Audition. I can now see what the clapping sound looks like in the graphical visualization of the screen.

What I use to take out the sound is the lasso selection tool, and then deleting what I lassoed.

Here's what it sounds like with the clapping sound in it:

I practiced voice acting with the book The Horse and His Boy, by the author C.S. Lewis. Then I recorded it using Audition.

Here is a picture of the book:

I noticed that when I was listening to to the recording my voice sounded younger, and I could hear the air bouncing off the microphone. I couldn't figure out why it was doing that. I thaught that maby the microphone probably got unplugged. If that happened it would have recorded using the built-in computer microphone. The blue snowball microphone that I use is a much better quality microphone. 

In Audition my recorded voice was much lower in the graphical visualization part of the screen. 

I don't know how to use Audition to fix this problem yet.

My dad found a video about a guy named Patrick Muñoz and in the video he was showing an exercise for voice acting.

Here's the video:

When I try to say it with a bottle cap in my mouth (I couldn't find a bottle cork so I used a bottle cap) I sound like this "I sfpeak wif a sturong vwoice."

I think I'll try this for a few weeks!
