Bill, I actually think you've helped me more than anyone on the internet when it comes to voice over. I thank you.

@TheFifthLight Месяц назад

There's an AI noise suppression plugin for audacity that I've had an incredible time with. It doesn't work when you use it on a clip of just room noise, but when it's used on a clip of my voice it almost completely eliminates the noise from my computer fan (I'm saving up for a passive CPU cooler, look into one of those if you have your computer in your recording space) and I have thick velvet robes hung up around my mic. I'm definitely in the 'unprofessional' phase, but I upgraded to a K670 with a 3d printed shock mount and hair ties connected to a boom arm I made from a desk lamp. I've only grabbed 3 VO jobs since I started, but dangit Bill you've helped me get started and focused on what to look for. Once I've gotten more jobs and funds, I'd like to get in to your coaching course to see how I can refine my work. Sorry for the rant it turned into, I guess the short version is thank you for all your videos, it's helped me immensely

Love C-Suite C-Vox. Currently part of the UA Super Summer 2024 Bundles sale so I got it and two other plugins for $149.

@VM-oi3dk 4 месяца назад

You can isolate your voice from all other noise using A1 with the Waves Clarity VX and the room reverb (echo) with Clarity de-reverb plug ins. It’s phenomenal. Garbage truck was making noise outside, it completely blocked it out. It makes my ordinary bedroom sound like a $8,000 sound booth

@armandoc964 2 года назад

Hello Coach DeWees. I found your video very informative and the audio sounded great. I have been building my own DAW and I'm at the part where I was to buy acoustic form from Amazon and eyeing 48 pieces for $65. Lucky for me your video was right on time. Now I'm looking at Auralex Acoustic Form. Thank you for pointing out that bump on the road. Your sound treatment advice was on the point, listening to you saved me time and money. Once again you are the guiding light that shines in the night. Thank you Coach once again

@theliberationstation8457 Год назад

Bill, thank you so so very much! You are THE teacher and guide that helps us all so much!

@MyVoiceTMsomecallmetim 2 года назад

Thanks again Bill... good info. I am currently recording in a closet in my attic usually after midnight due to outside noise. By the end of next month I should be able to move into the DIY studio I am putting into the upstairs of my detached garage. I have researched a TON of videos on building an ideal (not perfect) sound booth complete with ventilation. ALL of this is funded by income generated from voice work. And a car??? come to think of it, if you are a fan of TikTok...a LOT of people record videos in their cars and they always sound good.

@skyace888 2 года назад

Thanks Bill. Good tips. I'm currently using my master closet with GIK Acoustics Bass Traps on the ceiling. Not perfect but does work quite well. Also is that an MKH416 microphone and if so how do you like it? Considering purchasing one for VO work and love the flexibility of it to use for other sound applications too.

@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees 2 года назад

No problem! Wow, that's all fantastic! Glad to hear things are going so well with your setup. Yes, actually! I'm really enjoying it for similar reasons. The area I'm in now after my move is much noisier so a change was necessary. Good eye!

@magelbasa 2 года назад

I'm planning to jump into the voice over world because I need an extra source of income. I've been watching your videos the past few days, and I just wanted to thank you for posting. Your videos are so helpful.

@alrobbuck7034 2 года назад

Thankyou for you suggestions. I was hesitant in starting this new journey. My only question that I have for you since I have purchased reaper on a Mac it is to me hard getting use to mac and reaper setup. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@shaneguy5762 2 месяца назад

Hey! Love your channel. Information AND Motivation! Can I ask a LITTLE question that for me is BIIIIG? After a ton of work I finally have my "voice booth" to where it's way more than adequate. But when I put on my headphones I still hear a little tiny hiss. Is this normal? Equipment noise? Or is there something wrong with my equipment? I'm running an AT2020 mic through (trendy, I know) a Focusrite Scarlett into my laptop (and my laptop is OUTside the booth). Thank you! I'm losing my mind ha ha.

@JasonTaylor-po5xc 2 года назад

I have a prefab soundbooth that I rarely use because it gets so darn hot that after 20 minutes of use, I have to take a break and and use a portable AC unit to cool it off. I've sense switch to dynamic mics (RE20) with foam in my home office. However, I do have to record at night, but at least that is an option. I do occasionally use my soundbooth - but I would not make that kind of purchase again - and I may consider selling it.

@voa23 Год назад

Do you have central air? If so use a flexible vinyl duct to route it into a an 3 inch opening. It worked great for me, my noise floor is -60 to -70 db, this is also dependent on the quality of equipment and cabling. Have learned lots from Coach Bill Dewees.

@Oogler1 5 месяцев назад

I'm hoping to move my set up to either a closet under the stairs or a closet in my master bedroom. My kids room is above my current set up and they jump around all day! Haha. My basement would just have the same problem lol. But I think my master closet would be perfect.

@gregcooper8466 2 года назад

Hey Bill, I have been listening to several of your videos. Thanks for all the tips. I am starting out, setting up the home studio, and I'm wondering about reducing the sound floor. You said I should be at -60db. My (cheap) sound meter phone app says my room is at around 20db, which is at the sound of a "whisper" or "mosquito". I'm thinking that this app has a different sound scale than what you use to measure the noise. Is there an app that I should use to measure the sound level? It is pretty quiet, but I want to be sure it is sufficiently quiet (on a tight budget).

@kjartist28 11 месяцев назад

Your links for the mic and for the sound blankets are expired. Do you have new ones?

@djSoundShed 2 года назад

Just picked up acoustic fabric panels from acoustics Canada. Should I also put the foam on top as well?

@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees 2 года назад

Test your noise floor first before you get anything else. If the fabric panels are high quality they may be enough. If not, foam will be a good next step. Here's my video on testing noise floor: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nnj-sef8mRU.html

@ashlynok5771 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips Bill. Could you elaborate on what would be best to sound treat a car? That’s currently my best option, as I’m moving into another house so all my things are in boxes (including my mic) but I believe the car might be a usable source with my apple headphone’s mic until I can set up my closet studio. Any tips for that?

@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees 2 года назад

Hi Ashlyn! Your car is luckily already well treated. You could add some clothes if you want to add something, but it's really not necessary. Hope that answers your question!

@ashlynok5771 2 года назад

@@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees Thanks! I appreciate the advice! I’ll give it a try tomorrow

@ElisabethLynn Год назад

What about laptop fan noise ?

@princeicio 2 года назад

I've got a small studio at home which I built from 5 boards of 15mm plywood. Also, the walls along with the ceiling are covered with 2" wedge foam panels. It's in my bedroom and it's pretty quiet up there. Is that enough? The whole studio cost me around $400.

@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees 2 года назад

That sounds like it will work just fine! Make sure to check your noise floor to see where you stand. Here's a link to that if you haven't checked it out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nnj-sef8mRU.html

@incognitocas 2 года назад

Hey Bill. what do you do for air and cooling? It looks hot in there.

@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees 2 года назад

Hi there! The ventilation system that comes with my whisper room makes too much noise, so I open my door about 2 inches. That provides me with all the ventilation I need. :-)

@incognitocas 2 года назад

@@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees OK. Thank you for the explanation. I think these types of rooms will be much cheaper now and many more options will be available based on the work from home model post-pandemic hysteria.

@scottsmith4145 Год назад

Ive noticed that everyone working in a vocal booth has a 'boxy' voice which doesnt sound open and airy including yours. Its an unnnatural sound an no way around it when recording in small spaces. My wife is a voice over talent and im a guitar player and we are looking to create a live room in our home instead of using a booth. However, the only room available is our master bedroom so its a multi use and not a dedicated live room. Ive been in consultation with a top accoustic expert whos built multi million dollar studios in LA and New York and he says in that case its best to go with mobile accoustic foam panels. The 4x6 framed foam panels can be moved around to create 4 walls surrounding the voice talent and mic position or guitarist or even around a mix desk to absorb reflections down to 90hz with 6" foam per panel. Best thing is the product specifically focuses on the 100hz - 500hz range which is so critical for voice work and many music fundamental freqs. So the top end stays open and the room keep the voice airy and open,, not boxy sounding and its thousands of dollars less than a whisper room booth. Just my .02

@Tonygarry78 Год назад

All I can afford right now is moving blankets in a small closet.

@justasy1092 2 года назад

You don't have an idea of how hard it is that you don't place links of any of the options you mention in the description, haha I had yo re-watch the video to look for your son's channel and you didn't even mention the name of it, and that's not a good thing for your audience. Convenience is key.

@VoiceCoach-BillDeWees 2 года назад

Sorry for the confusion. I actually misspoke. My son doesn't have a RU-vid channel, but I have a fair bit of videos on audio. Most recently, one that helps you check your noise floor. You can check that out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Nnj-sef8mRU.html

@cassandravonpohl942 2 года назад

Sucks. I live in a 1919 house. There are no closets (ok, there's two, but they're legit TINY and so small as to be useless and therefore they're inaccesable), no interior spaces, no basement. Fek, we don't even have a shower (I hate taking baths....yet for the past 14 years...uhg). AND I have like zero dollars to build anything. AND I have a toddler... AND I live just off the main highway...AND there's freaking sirens all the gd time. I hate my life. I've gotten pretty good at removing 'room noise' (and my house is insanely small. not *quite* a tiny home, but feken hell it's an itty bitty house)
