I Finished Another Podcast

There was another podcast that I had to edit for my brother. 

This podcast was longer than the other podcast I edited.

I was about twice as fast as I was for the other podcast I did. I worked on the podcast yesterday for a short amount of time, 30 minutes. It only took 2 hours and 45 more minutes for today and I finished.

My brother wasn't interviewing the same guy as before. The new one's name is Chris Anderson.

The problem about his side of the recording is that he used a phone to record, so sometimes you couldn't understand what he was saying since a phone has bad recording.

When I started the recording it was 28 minutes long, and when I finished it was 22 minutes long, which means I edited out 6 minutes.

I Finished Editing My Brother's Podcast with Liam Hoffman

I finished my brother's interview podcast with his guest on the topic of making axes. The name of the guest is Liam Hoffman who is a 19 year old professional axe smith (if you want to read more about it click this link: http://voiceofsimeon.posthaven.com/editing-a-podcast). 

Before I edited my brother's podcast it was about 16 minutes long. And when I finished it it was about 13 minutes long, which means I edited out about 3 minutes! It now sounds like he knows what he is talking about because he does not sound like he needs to think up what to say.

Most of what was edited out was the "uh"s and "um''s and long pauses. I also cut out a part where my brother was talking to Liam when getting ready for the official part of the recording. 

What was most annoying about the recording was that on Liam's side of the recording, there was a background scratching noise. I could not get it out. If I tried deleting it, I would delete also what Liam was saying. 

I have tried using the paintbrush selection tool in Audition to get out the scratching noise, but I don't know how to use it correctly. 

I had to leave the sound in.  

My brother might give me another podcast for me to work on, and this will probably be longer than the first one.

Editing a Podcast

My brother asked me to edit one of his podcasts that he did with one of his friends. My brother recorded it using the program I use, which is Audition. 

My brother's friend is a professional axe smith. My brother is wanting to learn the ways of axe making and knife making. 

He is starting to interview many different blade smiths. I am helping him edit out the "um"s and "uh"s. 

The podcast was sixteen minutes long, and I haven't finished editing it yet. I'm at nine minutes so far into editing, so there's lots more to do.

My Logo

This is my new logo that my sister drew for me (If you want to see her cool pictures, go to http://post@horsehaven.posthaven.com/  to go to her blog). I think she did a good job on this picture and I really like it. 

This is a picture of a California quail with the tip of its plume (or topknot) as a microphone.

You will see this picture as my profile picture on my homepage.

I hope you like my sister's drawing!

I Might Get My First Job!!!!!!

On the day-before-yesterday (Saturday) my VO teacher, Mrs. Olsen, said that there is a chance I might get my first job! There is a website for teaching kids math, and they wanted to hire a voice actor for their animation videos. She said the pay would be around $1200!

The company gave me a script to work on, so I got to work. The recording is already sent to the company.

Hopefully, they will hire me (there are also other voice actors who will put in their own recordings so they can also have a chance of being hired).

Here is the recording:

The problem is that they want to hire someone for junior high, and my voice might be to young. But I was thinking they could hire to do voice acting for 4th grade or 3rd grade or something like that. I don't know how much people they want to hire, but I hope they hire me at least!
