Adobe Audition Basics for Voice Over 

Thank you so much Angela!! I just finished assembling my recording booth and now getting my system and software all together. This video was so helpful, and I sincerely appreciate how you explained how to get started with Audition so thoroughly.

I am currently 3/4 through an online Adobe Audition course but I have come back to your videos several times for clarification. You have a gift for explaining things patiently, thoroughly, and often amusingly. Never condescending and never rushed. And yes, the dog clicker is a must when recording! :)

You are a life savior Angela !! Did not think that Voice Over was so complicated !!! :) until your videos!

Hello Angela! Thank you so much for this video. You are a born teacher/ instructor. So clear; so simple; so informative! Keep up the good work and keep letting your light shine! -Angelo M

Incredibly helpful Angela thank you! I’m diving into VO for the first time like, tomorrow! Trying to find time for it . I’m working as a truck driver but have invested in all the gear I need for voiceover over the past month.

Just found you, Angela. Love your voice. New to Adobe Audition. I'd like specifics on where you went to manipulate some of the controls. Couldn't see where you went. Thanks for these videos.

Wow this was beyond the most helpful video for me. All this time I was winging it and have loved AU for the longest not even tapping its potential. You managed to help me in countless ways. I do podcasts and I'm just now starting out on ACX. Thank you so much!

So this is how one can make commercial demos - the multitrack with volume control!

The stopping for AC had me cracking up. I lived in Phoenix for 30 years so I completely understand. Thank for you this tutorial, it was extremely helpful as are all of your videos!

Always great angela. I'm surprised you did not mention the audio ducking feature which works pretty well for combining narration over music.

I recently started recording a friend's audiobook and this is really helpful. Thank you :)

First of all, thank you so much for your videos. You’re very good at what you do & I love your voice. My only issue (and this issue belongs to ME, not you) is that I am a COMPLETE beginner. Do you offer videos that go over terminology & explanations of very basic editing? I’ve got to learn 4 basics things to apply to my own VO for an audition/interview in a week, so I need the real BASICS. Hoping you’ve got some advice. Thank you so much again for your content!

Thank you so much for breaking this down - I'm just starting out and have been interested in this for my own audiobooks. I just ordered a dog clicker!

Hi Angela, Great wee demo . At 12.33 you say you can increase the volume of the vocal track using the wee icon in the bottom left of the track. Won't that just adjust the volume of that `clip' ON the Vocal track not the volume of the whole track ?.

Thank you, very refreshing approach. Finally I can understand where to start 😊🙏

Question: At 9:30 in the video you speak about a "clicker" to leave a spike. What kind of clicker? Is that clicker part of the software? Is it something else? Thanks for all of your helpful information.

Hey Angela, thanks, just found your channel. I'm considering switching from free Audacity to Adobe Audition, but my larger question is about your treated space and microphone. Would you mind sharing what you use for mic/interface/sound dampening space? Thanks, Justin

In punch n roll, the replacement you add HAS to be the same time length as what it is replacing!

Hello Angela . have an issue again . I think I am on the ACX for author page and not narrator because there is no upload button. How to switch please? I have 3 auditions waiting to do. thanks

Hey Angela, thank you so much. How did you learn all this stuff???

Moving the volume with key frames is called rubber banding.

Thank you for the great tips.

Ms. Angela. I am embarrassed to ask you if you could give me a name of someone who could help me with the presets. I am all set up to record but have waisted too much time trying to get the presets to work. I purchased the NS1from Waves but I can't get it on my preset. I just want to start working and have put money into setting all this up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Keep up the great vids! Very helpful very fast for making my first video!

Hi Angela! Thanks so much for this!

This is sooo helpful wow!! Exactly what i needed to get a,solid knowledge of the basics...beginning VO as we speak so thanks so much!!✌️🇨🇦🩶

Hello Angela your video's have been very helpful. I just started using adobe audition your -db on the right side show -1 , -3 , -6 and -9. How do i get mine to do that? Mine shows -1, -2, -4 and -6

Hey Angela, how do you record your screen while recording yourself at the same time with your mic? I’d like to start doing video tutorials so any tips are highly appreciated. Thanks!

I use Adobe Audition to convert text to speech. I can’t get the full duration of the text to output as audition. I will have a one hour piece of text but the program only outputs 6-8 minutes. Any idea?

I want to use Adobe Audition to make music videos of my past recordings. How can I use Adobe Audition to do this? I would be adding additional sound files to the video. Wav or MP3 best? I'm planning on a RU-vid page to place all my music videos. Thank you. Carter Kuehn

I have a washer dryer on the wall opposite this computer system that I am currently drying during this tutorial. I forgot that I have to be more careful when to do both at the same time...

Hello Angela. Ok so I am of a better understanding with ACX, and thanks but question on audition. When I search books it says available but when I go to my audition it is already taken. How to find it available?

I don't have a dedicated/treated room, but decided to use my closet...the audio (and new mic) sounded great! but it rained, so I hear a little pitter patter in a few spots...what is a good edit effect for that?

Hi Angela! How did you initially learn Adobe Audition and all about the plug-ins? Did you take a course, or did someone teach you, or did you just watch videos? Thanks for making this video!!

Does audition offer any functionality that premiere pro does not? I have a limited budget and can't really afford a ton of programs

You a really fking helpful Angela

Here is a question... how do I... -Find music -Add music -Does it need to be copyright free music I am originally a photographer and a stickler about copyright issues...

your videos are great!!!

Thanks Angela🥰

I read on a recent meditation video that RU-vid has suspended monetization for meditation channels. Is that true? If so, what if all of your content is 100% original, (branding, video, music, script, voiceover)?

Hi Angela, as a new audiobook narrator I love your channel! I have my first long book on the books but I'm wondering how you go about recording the longer ones--for my short ones I've really just done them all in the same file, but I don't think that will work for something so long, so I'm curious what the norm is! thanks :D

Trying to watch this on my phone was not a good idea I can’t see what’s going on haha 😂

I am having a problem with .wav files in Adobe. I am able to create a new audio file and save it as a .wav file. However, on my Mac when I go to upload the .wav file to an email or a pay-to-play platform, the file on my screen is in light gray color and will not allow me to upload it. I can click on the file and play it on my computer, but I am not allowed to upload it. Any advice? Thanks!

What about audacity?

This was helpful

Hi again Angela.. soon you will be charging us a fee for too many questions :)-. ok I got out of Adobe Audition and went back in but now they recording will not record :(

BEWARE! THEY WANT $103 FROM ME TO CANCEL!

You call it a basics video, and then proceed to spend 5 minutes blathering about potential add ons. Lots of wasted time here.
