Hi, David,

True, there is a big market under $ 100. Often we offers to our customers. With a because.
I'd just like to offer you a different point of view.

For Portals P2P we have always known this, in fact for those who want to access those types of work, for non customers in occasional tasks, there are free platforms such as Facebook or other paid platforms such as Fiverr.
They are places where anyone with a computer system can collect small jobs, for pizza or bills. There's also Voice123 and there's its werebrother VoiceBunny.

In the latter you don't even have to pay to stay there and you can work at 3 dollars for a sentence that maybe comes to you while you are cooking dinner, you hear a notification, you record on the laptop that is right there on the kitchen table and if the customer chooses you you can even get a whopping $ 35 for a national audio.

Yes David, we know there is a lot of work under $ 100, and if you give it the chance, you will find a large percentage of customers under $ 10. After all, it is enough to speak in front of a microphone.

For you and your company it will be a numbers game, in fact, $ 250M of estimated average dollars is a quarter of a million from which you can get 20%, or $ 50M from the work of your subscribers, who will pay $ 400 a year, when not even more than $ 2000 to remain subscribers, in addition to paying the 20% agency fee.
The 20% of $ 5 is 10 Cent so a figure that does not even cover the electricity to process the information.

Who will benefit from this choice of eliminating the so-called "minimum fee"? Your company. For large numbers. But large numbers have never been of interest to the little ones: because the little ones can only make small numbers by being human.

In this way you turn the actors and professionals into marbles.

The "minimum fee" has a practical sense dictated by experience in the sector.
A job that pays little will also evaluate it at the same level.
It follows that by not having relations with the professional, relations that even justify free services, the professional will be practicing a job with a low value. And when he claims to be paid $ 250 for a subsequent job, he can't justify it.
Even now the idea that 1 minute of audio for a video that passes on the web does not justify claims for rights. Imagine going from $ 5 to $ 250.

"... enabling projects and jobs under $100 will provide you with more opportunities to work and win more clients."
You gain customers, not we. If a customer want to do small projects, with low budget, offers to 1 voice and make an agreement. But you are selling the roaster as a machine with benefits for Voices.com customers.

Have you thought about using a limited number of people in your roaster who, through an agreement with Voices.com, would make themselves available to offer this service at low cost?
In exchange for a greater number of works that justify its meaning. Or anything else you can offers in exchange.

David, if you spread it on all your "Voices", with no justification other than the $ 50M you could be cashing in, then you are lowering the intrinsic value of our Professionalism.

Don't judge me presumptuous.
In trade, one's value must never be diminished.

But the jobs you are referring to are those that could soon be replaced by software, where to have a human being you have to pay for their experience and know-how. Even the claims.

So my advice to my colleagues is not to participate in those castings. Because without an agreement that justifies its existence, with that product at that cost the customer will remain on the portal and there will be no access to subsequent works of greater value when for the same amount you have already been willing to sell for $ 5.

Prices and estimates, if I may remember, are always practiced from above, starting from the full value of the product. Of course, you can lower the price but for objective reasons: payment, agreements of other productions (quantity over time), or other reasons such as sales or Black Friday.
But the value that starts from the bottom will always remain low and you will not be able to raise it again.

You look you are not a Speaker or an Actor, seems you speculate on our Profession and you don't care if the value drops. This is the impression.
You offer customer service, but WE are that service.
Are we too many? Interchangeable?

Seems the more we are desperate or unaware, the more you can do good and bad times.

No offense, it's just an impression.

Are you counting the chickens before the eggs hatch, or do you think we are the chickens? We are your voices, without us what will you offers?
AI?
When you have lowered our value, who will benefit?

I am happy if you get rich with voices.com but I would like you to consider our value to our business in the long term without destroying the basis of Profession. Profession, not works or jobs. Profession.

Thank you for your time

Un rack audio in ingresso, come con la UAD o la Antelope ma solo usando una normale DAW.

Puoi registrare con gli effetti inseriti anche se hai una scheda audio semplice, un microfono USB.
Cambia il tempo di risposta del software in base alla potenza di calcolo del tuo computer ma puoi farlo. Un compressore o un limiter in traccia prima di fare entrare il suono nel computer.
Puoi gridare in un Anime senza andare in distorsione!

Puoi doppiare gridando come un giapponese con la Katana senza rompere il muro del suono. Anche preparare un podcast.

Lo so, c'è un ora di video.

Puoi sempre saltare avanti per andare direttamente a Reaper o a Logic.

Buona visione!

Uno dei tanti problemi cui si cerca soluzione quando si lavora in home studio, quando non si dispone di una sala isolata e silenziosissima, è l'eliminazione del rumore d'ambiente.

Ma persino in una Wisper Room si ha la necessità di fare più silenzio. 

Se la grande maggioranza delle persone non ci fa caso, è invece uno dei passaggi assolutamente immancabili nei processi di editing. 

Perché in mix una voce pulita è più bella, perché anche da sola la voce pulita è priva di distrazioni o rumori molesti di apparecchiature. 
Persino sfogliare un libro che stai leggendo per farne un audiolibro diventa un rumore molesto. Tu dirai che la performance viene prima di tutto ma persino una Ferrari ti viene consegnata pulita e spolverata! 

Qui ti faccio vedere l'SSL 4000 della UAD, usandolo sulla Console. Lo ascolto con un U87Ai e con uno Shure 55SH. 

Colgo l'occasione anche per sbirciare l'uso dell'EQ e del compressore incluso l'uso del Sidechain (quello interno dei compressori) per far lavorare meglio il compressore stesso. Il Sidechain si applica anche in mix ma per altri effetti rispetto a come viene usato sul plugin.

Buona visione!

A volte ritornano!

Il TLM102 è la Cenerentola dei Neumann. Ma è un signor microfono per il voiceover! Lo so, costa più di 600 cucuzze. Ma li vale?

Se vuoi il marchio Neumann lo paghi!

Qui lo confronto con l'MK4 di Sennheiser e anche con il Lewitt 440, il Rode NT1 e il TLM103, per gradire.

Sono microfoni che costano tutti la metà circa, sono tutti cardioidi e senza alcun tipo di controllo. 

Nel video elimino l'anti pop interno del TLM102 e devo dire che... suona meglio!

Buona visione!

L'anti POP è uno degli elementi basici dei kit che circondano i microfoni. Pena e gioia degli attori che se ce l'hanno troppo vicino gli impedisce la lettura e gioia dei fonici perché elimina i colpi alla capsula proteggendo il file audio e la membrana.

Non sono il primo ad usare della stoffa per fare un anti pop e non sarò l'ultimo. Mi dispiaceva eliminare la membrana del costoso anti pop ma se devo essere sincero ha un difetto e non riesce ad essere migliore della vecchia cara calza di nylon. 

Ne esistono mille modelli, da quelli a elastico attaccato al corpo del microfono a quelli a braccetto a quelli speciali della Rycote che hanno sostituito con materiali modernissimi la barriera che fin dagli anni 40 è rappresentata da una stoffa.

Ma è proprio il Rycote, oggetto costoso migliorabile, che intendo modificare!
