Hi, I’m Gabrielle Nistico from Gift of Gab. Let’s dig into the big no‑no’s.
Common pitfalls I warn against in voiceover submissions include:
- Long dead space at the top of the file or between slate and read
- Beeps/tones/sound effects between takes
- Overly long, “salesy” slates (more than name/role/takes)
- Over-processing and heavy compression that makes you sound like a produced radio spot
- Files that don’t reflect the true, natural sound of your home studio
Want me to walk you through how to format a “perfect” audition file from slate to export?
