My name is Evan and I currently live in Texas. I've been working in IT since I graduated high school in 2013. I was laid off from a DoD company 2 years ago in December. Since then, I've been working for a small firm that has several clients, and I've been taking my time figuring out what I want to do. Voice over/voice acting work has been something I've wanted to try for a long time. So a friend lent me a microphone and a I purchased a new Scarlett solo and I started recording and editing some samples for practice.
I'm brand new to the field and saw the volunteer system that LV offered and thought it would be a good opportunity to provide a much needed service, and to cut me teeth simultaneously. I'm extremely excited to work with folks that have experience and to make a positive impact.
I've recorded a 1-minute test, you can find the link to the test below. I'm also interested in helping via proof-listening and editing.
I've submitted the recording semi-raw, as the only edit I've made was to volume normalization. I haven't cut anything or removed clicks, long breaths, or humming. I chose not to remove anything due to the suggestion of the article, and to hopefully receive the most effective criticism possible of my recording environment.
EDIT //
I had forgotten to include details;
Windows 10, Sterling Audio ST51, Adobe Audition. I have a mic arm with a shock mount and I'm currently using a doubled up sock as a filter.
