I'm working on a podcast named "Ashes of Apollo" an weekly 30-minute EDM mix showcase. I would like someone to record vocals introducing the show name and episode number. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ0Zt_dk5wo&list;=TLkPlstBqj4M_3P0NKqOb7du0IDPiVzqas
Could you give some specific quotes? And also would my voice work? Checkout my vocals to see if I qualify.
Dude! Your voice is awesome for this! For the first can you say something like "Welcome to Episode 1 of the Ashes of Apollo podcast, a weekly electronic music showcase where you can hear the best music you've never heard."

Oh ok glad my voice fits exactly what your looking for but sadly I don't have the best mic. In fact the mic I use is on my laptop and I record using Audacity. I wish I had a better mic but I don't know how much they are and I don't know where I could get one. If you don't want me to do it because of the quality its fine but if its no problem then is there a specific deadline?

Oh ok, I guess that means you accept me even with the mic, sorry but like I said I have very little resource(I am not a pro at voice acting but I have been getting better other than the mic). I will see if I can get this done ASAP. Also is this the only thing you want me to say, since you want me to say the intro to your podcast it makes me think I will also be voice acting the future. I don't mind but just saying I won't be on Freesound from May 18th to around August 22 so I won't be able to voice act between then because this is my school laptop and they take it back during the summer. I hope this isn't a problem.
Also is there a certain way you want it said?
Nope, but a small tip for recording, whenever you record go into a closet or something similar(a small room)and pad with blankets/pillows.
What do you mean "....and pad with blankets/pillows."?
He's referring to the walls/surfaces around you.
If they're solid, like walls and furniture panels, they'll reflect the sound around, including back into the mic, making the recording less clear. By padding the surrounding surfaces with curtains, blankets and the like, you lessen the room's natural reverb in your recording, making it better.
Oh ok, I understand but I doubt I will have a good time doing that(Unless I do it upstairs, which I think has less solids, lol).
But also I'm not sure if you read this post or not but I will just re post it:

I wasn't sure if you read it because you didn't tell me if it would workout/if this is a one time thing.
Edit: I just recorded it and I will upload it tomorrow, I hope it is a better recording.
