I kinda stopped animating. I could probably voice act some stuff though.

I HATE VOICE ACTING

Posted by BMack24 - October 16th, 2009

And by that I mean, I hate recording lines. The mic I use is supposed to be a decent mic, but lately the playback always sounds muffled and crappy. I don't know if it's the new comp or what, but I used to be able to get it to sound decent, even if it was after about three dozen takes and I get so frustrated I feel like breaking the table in half with my face. But now I just can't get it to sound OK, try as I might.

Fightage 2 production would be able to continue if the voice playback didn't sound like I'm talking through a closed window. The perfectionist in me just won't allow the second half of the movie's lines to not sound on par with those of the first half. Any suggestions?

Find a sound studio that will let you record there for cheap/free

What do you use? If it's Audacity, then go to Edit/Prefferences and pick your mic model.

If that doesn't make it better, then in your windows volume, lower the bar in ''Wave'', re-plug your mic and it should be fine.

Replug mic after doing any changes to the settings, also, perhaps the mic input volume is set too high in the program you're using, try lowering it.

Well, what are ya workin' with, Bmack24------?
I mean, what program are ya usin? Are you using plug and play USB mic or in jacks, what's your sound card? New PC you say? What is it? Wait a minute, does it have a RealTek card in there?
Feel free to drop me a line and I'll try to help you out with some troubleshooting, Man. That sux. We gotta get you fixed up again. Until then. . .

it's a labtec verse 504 that's plugged into the microphone jack of a toshiba that uses windows vista. i'm using audacity for the recording. as for sound card.. dunno. i know surprisingly little about computers for someone who claims to be a flash animator..

I suck at voice acting. I always have to have someone else do it for me.

maybe you've destroyed the mic by yelling into it and spitting on it too much? find someone you know who's good at music and sound stuff and latch onto them! :D

BMack24 2009-10-16 19:59:38

i can safely say i've never yelled into it. and i try to keep my work space relatively spit-free. i do know a dude who's in a band, maybe i can ask about it...

I don't think you'll ever HATE VOICE ACTING as much as I do.

Are you using a USB microphone? If you aren't, the quality of your recordings will be affected by your computer's sound card. Thus, if you changed computers, that might explain things.

I can voice act for you
