Mastering and loudness standards are a mystery to many voice-over artists. Mastering is extremely important to separate you from the competition, especially when it comes to voice-over demos and auditions. In this video, I walk you through a custom voice-over processing mastering setup using only Adobe Audition's stock plugins. Find out why mastering your voice-over is necessary, see how it's different from regular voic-over processing, and hear what it can do for your overall sound.

About Lenny:
Audio engineer, producer, marketing specialist, and radio broadcast professional in Southern California.
A custom processing preset by Lenny B for voice-over is a series of plugins explicitly tuned for your voice, in your room, and on your microphone. To compete in today's voice-over world, you must ensure that your demos and auditions are extraordinary. Voice-over artists at every experience level from all over the world are fighting to win work. However, if you don't have a professional sound, you will lose out to someone who does. Custom voice-over processing can take your audio presentation quality to the level necessary to compete with the pros. Instead of taking it upon yourself to tweak parameters like EQ compression, DeEssing, and saturation, you can hire a professional voice-over audio engineer to create it for you. Once you have the custom preset on your system, you have "The Sound" every time you press the record button.

You can use "match loudness" (ALT+5) on your adobe audition. It analizes whole recording and matches loudness to standart or if you strugglin with gain knob in multitrack view on clips, you can "Match clip loudness" (Press right mouse button on clip and then select)

Very helpful video! I dont do voiceovers but I do "talking head" videos and I've watched a few of your videos recently to help get my audio to where I want it to be. Still have a way to go, but its getting better. Are you set up to process audio in Final Cut (which uses Logic, i think for all the audio processing)? I might need some pointers with EQ and the compressor.

@HeyLennyB 3 года назад

Hi NotaRubicon Production, Yes I use FCP for a ton of work. The plugins are almost exactly the same. I actually wish Logic would re-render the wave files like FCP does when you add effects. Let me know how I can help. Actually, you should send me some audio and I'll processing in FCP. It would be a cool video too.

Hey Lenny, I really like your channel. You've got a lot of great knowledge. My only issue is that I feel like your own voice over audio is too bright; it's very harsh in the loudness, especially in the sibilance range. Personally I prefer a more natural, smooth sound. I love the results you get people. You may need your own Lenny B. Cheers!

I was having problems for years equing voiceovers. When i switched to equing before compression rather then it seems all my frustrations disappeared

Hey Lenny! What do you think of bed mattress as acoustic foam for treating my room? Thank you!

@HeyLennyB 2 года назад

It wouldn't be my first option but it would have an effect. It would likely be better at isolating you from outside (the room) noise. However, it may not do the best job of absorbing the reflections that you want to remove. There are easier ways. Rugs or any type of soft absorbing materials to cover as much of the hard reflective surfaces (in the room you're recording in) can be effective. Hope that helps. I saw/heard some of your videos. You've got a great voice!

I was wondering what the website was that you found all those delivery standard recommendations on?

@HeyLennyB Месяц назад

It's on the Youlean website here: youlean.co/loudness-standards-full-comparison-table/

@dobbatron 3 года назад

Hi Lenny, excellent as usual :) Couple quick qs - where's that link from for the various broadcast standards? Presuming the limiter is there with the max output level set, is there a difference between pushing up the input volume in the limiter and using some kind of gainer/utility plugin to increase the volume or even simply pushing up the channel volume if you're working with a processed/exported file? Thanks

@HeyLennyB 3 года назад

Because of your suggestion, I'm now a fan of the Youlean Loudness Meter plugin. It's on their website youlean.co/loudness-standards-full-comparison-table/

@emiliem.8925 3 года назад

Hi Lenny, thank you for this, really helpful. I got the Klangheim VUMT after watching your video, but I am not sure how to set it up so that it has two meters, one for the input and one for the output!?

@HeyLennyB 3 года назад

@emilie M. Ah, good question. If you use a stereo track, the meters will automatically show two meters. But I think what you want is how I set it up. I put to instances of the plugin on one mono channel. One before all of the plugins and one after. Then I open each of the two instances and put them side by side. Hope that helps. 👍 @klanghelmaudio

I've just recently noticed that you use what looks to be a foam windscreen over your 103. I'm using a Heil PR40 and have begun using Heil's foam windscreen over it to (a) act as a pop-filter and (b) help tame the high frequency bump native to the PR40. My voice is naturally somewhat low and I have very little in the high end anyway. Just wondering what your experience has been (pros/cons) using foam over your 103 instead of more traditional pop filters.

@HeyLennyB 4 месяца назад

Hi, @eyesonly4451. I find that foam windscreens reduce the high-frequency material very little. My windscreen is used to avoid the infrequent plosive that might result from my breath hitting the mic. I expect the high and low frequency balance with your microphone has more to do with your room acoustics. I'd be happy to send you a free assessment of your sound. Please follow the three steps on this page: www.lennyb.com/get-your-voice-processed-submission-form and be sure to reference this conversaiton about the pop filter in the form. Thanks

Loudness Radar isn't a stock plugin but it's used a lot here. Can I get just the software plugin from them or does this come with hardware?

@lenny b I want to edit my audio through EQ and deal with things like compression, limiter expander gate, etc, I know I’m gonna have podcast style videos in the future but I also want to do post editing on my audio Should I use pro tools or audition and which plugins do I need for both Any help is appreciated please respond in great detail if possible And also I would like to reach out at some point so maybe we could further this discussion via google duo or Microsoft teams or something along those lines

@HeyLennyB 3 года назад

Hey SP, I expect that the video editing application that you use will also likely have EQ, Compression, an other effect already available to you. But if you want to work in an audio application, here are my thoughts. Both, Protools and Audition have all the plugins you'd need. In my opinion, ProTools is overkill for your needs. Unless you are multitrack recording several instruments at a time, ProTools is not a great choice (in my opinion). It sounds like Adobe Audition is a smart choice for you. Lots of effects come with the application, there's a ton of official video tutorials from Adobe that can get you up and running, and you can always use additional plugins as you learn more. The secret is that all these really cool plugins mostly do the same thing. The know-how will get you much further than a new piece of gear.... it's just not as sexy.... :)

Hello. You may think I'm totally laughable knowing that I'm trying to get into voice-over with no real knowledge of mixing/mastering whatsoever. I have Presonus Studio One to record with. I have noticed on Voices.com the differences in my sound compared to people who know what they are doing. It's not as loud. I'm learning how to get rid of all the noises such as mouth clicks, buzzing, etc. That's about all I know to do. I don't understand the lingo so, I need the basics. I have hired a company out of Nashville to remotely fix my equipment to work at one setting and I just go from there. They don't deal in voice-over so they can only help me so much. Can you please help me?

@HeyLennyB 2 года назад

Hi Lisa, absolutely! it's exactly what I do. I need sample of what your working with to get started. I'll send you an example audio file so you can hear what your voice can sound like optimized. I also will give you some tips and techniques. All free. If you decide to purchase a setting form me we can discuss a fee. Please submit your voice according to the instruction here: www.lennyb.com/get-your-voice-processed-submission-form and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
