Hello,
Thank you very much for your audition and for your compliment.
I was really moved by your performance; it was very well done, and I could hear all the emotions that were needed. The only drawback is the quite numerous plosives and the breath hitting the microphone, and I’m wondering if this is due to the equipment or a placement issue.
Could you tell me more about the microphone you’re using, the interface, and how the sound is treated in your home studio?
Thank you and have a great day!
Hello! So glad to hear you enjoyed my reading, it's a very moving script!
It is more than likely my proximity to the mic (especially in more emotional scenes I sometimes forget to adjust as I'm speaking).
I use a RODE NT1A microphone with a pop filter, and record into LogicPro with a Scarlett Solo Interface in a room treated with AudioSoul acoustic panels! Let me know if youd like any further clarification on this!
Thank you for your feedback. In this case, would it be possible for you to resend an audition for Scene 2, with improved audio so that I can hear the difference with better mic placement?
Here is that second take! https://drive.google.com/file/d/12HiJoa97V_h9X9u_JLXuV-8Go7f75T1n/view?usp=drive_link
Tried to stay mindful of mic positioning (let's just turn this into a movie already so I can focus on the story! just kidding, just kidding) Thank you and just let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you, that was so much better. I can tell you made a real effort to avoid plosives and mic breaths, and the quality has greatly improved. I also just listened to your reel. I really like the voice you used at 1:03 when you said 'Do not change that.' If you get the role, we’ll likely switch between the two voices to create a better contrast between Louis’s human and beastly versions. I’ll get back to you soon, regardless of the final decision. Have a great day!
Hello,
Thank you so much for your audition—it was excellent and really stood out with both your acting and audio quality. I’m truly excited to work on this project with you!
