I love this one! The voice sounds so deranged, wild and mad scientist-esque. It had me hooked with every step of the way. The only thing I'd mention is that the first half of the file is super quiet. I had to turn my volume to the max and I was still struggling to hear it. In addition, I could hear you slowly running out of air with the "bug blood bonanza" line near the end. Otherwise, fantastic job!
Haha thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind words. Honestly I have no clue on the volume thing since I really didn’t mess with anything between the beginning and end, but I’ll try to get that all figured out.
On the techincal side, your gain is superrrrrrrr low here. I had to crank you up all the way and even then it's still pretty low, so check your audio levels and adjust your again so that its sitting at at least -18db. I couldn't hear your zombie except for the loudest part of it.
I love the voice and vibe you did with this! It sounded really interesting and fun. Remember not to just rely on the voice, but you want to still have some dynamics going on so that it doesn't all sound the same throughout. Focus on emotional changes and things like pacing, pauses, intensity, etc to give more of a unique spin on your take.
Your pacing I would go a bit faster, because going faster when speaking connects more to high energy, excitement, versus going slower which is more calming. Think about your audience and your goal. keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. I finally figured out the problem with my gain. I had accidentally messed with my settings on my audiobox while I was moving and didn't realize it or even think to check it out, but haven't had any issues since.
As for the critiques, I completely agree and will try to keep pushing myself.
