The background noise of the traffic is actually slightly too loud, but it works okay because it adds to the joke (another reason she can't hear!). Sometimes it's worth making 2 or 3 versions of a scene with different sound level settings to see which works best. Further to your vid, I would try adding some cars passing by in the background of the garage (especially when the attendant is in shot). Try using the Depth of Field settings to make them defocussed, it'll add more depth and movement (and no one will be able to see that the wheels don't rotate )]]> Sun, 02 Mar 2014 20:22:53 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3465-what.aspx

yeah its way better but yeah there is like no lighting and shadows give depth otherwise its pretty good. Myself and likely others we only use voices inside muvizu to time the dialogue and mouth movements correctly after that I tear out the dialogue (all of it) and then redo all the voice track in one so its properly normalized

I then create a "sound bed" of background sounds and make sure that volume is right and then add the extra affects and music last where it needs to be and even then I screw it up sometimes but I always create a basic sound bed and voice track first. My hearing gets aweful at times due to allergies unfortunately so i often over do or under do things just because my ears are ringing so badly lol.

I spend on a short video (15 minutes ) about 2 days just on sound collecting it and planning it and editing it and crud I love video editing rendering the animation parts in whatever software is something I dont like its just necessary lol but i could edit and do sound until the cows come home and enjoy every minute of it. I think the dislike for animation is because of all the technical issues one runs into that one has to solve

anyhow yeah this one is way better soundwise and it could have done with some lighting but you already said you knew you didnt pay attention to that so maybe next time! ]]> Sun, 02 Mar 2014 18:38:29 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3465-what.aspx Thanks for the help

Also, you might enjoy some of the tips on the Newbie Guide to Recording page (also Português, Español, Français, Deutsch) at Librivox. They get all kinds of people with all sorts of equipment, and try to work with everyone.

The Librivox tips for vocal character performances are excellent as well!]]> Sun, 23 Feb 2014 20:48:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3465-what.aspx

Thanks again.]]> Sun, 23 Feb 2014 00:46:01 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic3465-what.aspx
I hate dead air so I stuff wind or crickets or something in dead air spaces (whatever white noise that goes with the background) otherwise yeah normalize your voices and stuff but I hate giving advice anyhow
