VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Taking a tip from Bruce Miles, who said some of my earlier work sounded boxy or roomy, which could be when I was using the Reflexion Filter in the open room before the booth...I think there's only one cut left from those days. All real work, tried to get different styles as well as topics in there. Who knows Smile

Thanks for any insight.

I really like that, Chris! Sounds great!

If I had to offer a critique though, the third and second to last clips kind of run together a bit too much (too similar and not enough of a break in-between). Both takes sound great, but maybe place them away from each other. Just my 2 cents Smile

Cool, thanks! I did a little tweak, hopefully it made a difference. And hopefully it'll lead to more work! Appreciate it...

Very good indeed. Just being ultra picky, the first clip doesn't enchant me. Most ELearning is done without music and it's kind of loud compared to normal material. And yes, some of the later clips are edited a bit too tightly together. Just a half a beat or so so it's clear they're different bits.

I love how your second clip says in effect, "You must turn on your speakers in order to hear this lesson." If they didn't have them on already, I guess they'd never know, huh?

OK many thanks - yeah the first cut was one of zillions I did that were sort of audio college textbooks, typically 70-80k words per, each chapter had to have that music on the front and another cut on the back. Hey that's 6 seconds I get back!

Tweaks made, thanks again very much for all the input. Now to find some work!
