I had the same thought when SoundSoap 4 came out a few months ago and contacted the developer. SoundSoap plugins don’t work with Screenflow but you don’t need them. Purchase the standalone version. It’s great. It has a de-clipper to prevent distortion, an enhancer to add a little ‘zing’ to the de-noised clip AND a bulk processor. Just create your settings once, then drag your entire audio folder to this app.

I have been involved in broadcasting for several years, and have spoken with those who have done voice overs. It is almost like being a successful actor — of all those that go into the field there are only a small percentage that “make it.” I would hate to think that by reading the write-ups on these three ladies, that one would think they could easily become a success at it. I have done TV voice overs and recorded and produced radio spots for quite a few years. I have discovered that 1) Ad agencies, radio and TV stations, and production houses use their “regulars” and are reluctant to try new voices. 2) Many actors who cannot find work on stage and in films, supplement their income by doing voice overs — they are already trained and know how to look for work 3) It is rare that you make good money from it… in fact over recent years, the pay has gone drastically downhill for this type of work. I hate to be such a “downer” on this, but this is flip side of the industry. However, you never know … so if it is something you really want to purse, best of luck to you!

I have recently been told that I have a really nice voice, and that it would be perfect for voice-over. This hadn’t ever occurred to me before, but I would like to learn more about the option. After reading what you learned from these three ladies that you interviewed, it definitely sounds like a tempting option. Since it is done from home and doesn’t take tons of time, it would be really nice. All I would need to do is get a good voice coach and learn a bit about recording. I will be sure to practice often so that I can hopefully do well with this!
