Hey, there! I got a note from the lovely and talented Marlon Braccia about what I do to manipulate my audio with Audacity before submitting – you know, compression, noise reduction etc. She was talking about all those options on the Effects menu in Audacity.

Hey there! My lovely client, Gina, called me up (as my Pros can do anytime) and asked me a question I’d never been asked before “I’ve voiced a series of books for a rights holder via ACX, and now, she wants to bundle them as an anthology and offer them for sale. She asked me […]
