After watching a LOT of audio techniques videos, i have to say: this has to be one of the greatest digital audio techniques videos all over TH-cam.
Came for the audio tips. Stayed for the class. Bravo.
He teaches you first, then he gives the advise. This is how has to be done, thank you Sir.
Here's some advice. It's spelled advice.
@@garbygarb31 Thank you
I've been producing audio for broadcast for over thirty years, and this tutorial shows you exactly the right way to do it. It's all the stuff I tell new trainees or students in radio production classes. Record a decent level, edit your mistakes, compress (but not too much -- listen, undo and try again if you have overdone it), normalize to -3dB. If you're handed noisy tracks that you must use (voices recorded remotely or from other studios) first apply noise reduction and EQ if necessary, then compression, limiting, normalization. When mixing with music, I still process the voice track first just as described in this video. When producing for others, I still do all these steps unless they tell me not to because they want to do it themselves. This guy's a genius!! Not because he does it 'my' way, but because he's telling you the way it works best. I found it out by trial and error. Do yourself a favor, listen to this video again and learn in 8 minutes what it took me years of experience to discover. You can hit the ground running already that much further down the road.
taperpowell Thanks for your kind remarks and affirmation of these techniques. The trickiest part in the voiceover audio world is you might be supplying audio to a client that has no idea how to process the audio for inclusion in their video (how many youtube videos have you seen where the sound is almost inaudible). So I do master the audio for most clients unless they specifically ask me not to process the sound. Oh, and I've been in audio for thirty years. It took me that long to be able to condense my thoughts into 8 minutes. Best of Success to you.
another "overnight" success story :)
(brilliant video by the way)
Is it important to first remove noise and then do compression, limiting and normalizing?
@@minecrafter0505 check put Booth Junkie's video on noise gate. That'll help remove the unwanted room tone or buzziness
Do you need hindi voice over?
This is the first time I've ever had it explained to me in clear terms.
In a sea of bullshit and bad advice, you’re an island of audio engineering hope and I found you! You’re like the Larry Jordan of the audio world. 😂 Thank you for all that you do. I am currently binge watching every video on your channel and liking everything I see. 🕺
This is by far the most throughly explained video on limiting and normalizing I’ve ever seen in my10+ years of audio experience. Well done, William!
I know how to do this, but still watched it and am seriously impressed! You explained how to do it without over complicating it and sounding condescending. Everyone starting out in audio recording should watch this before being let loose on a DAW 👍🏻
I'm just starting out as a voice actor and just taking the 8 minutes to watch this made my production jump well over 200%. Thank you and i'm definitely subscribing to all you have to say.
Hello William,
Thanks for the amazing video on boosting your Audio.
I am a communication engineer and familiar with the dB scale.
I have to say that I have never ever heard such a simple and easy to understand analogy of this.
Thanks for your effort you put into this.
Truly amazing, I was searching for how to normalize audio in Audacity when I stumbled onto this video. It explains so much with just the use of two terms, limiting and normalizing
After many years of independent study, different plug-ins and a few devices, I finally understand limiting and normalization. Simple, powerful and effective. Thank you.
You're an exellent teacher. Your use of analogies is first-rate. Thank you.
This information is the reason I subscribed to your channel! I look forward to seeing/hearing other information from you.
What a gifted teacher you are sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom in such an unrushed and kind manner. You are head and tails above the rest of the others.
Thank you so very much! I truly appreciate you taking the time to teach! I sincerely needed this! Awesome work! May God bless you! 🙏🏽😊
I have been looking for this for a long time. Video was straight to the point. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial - thanks Aliso for posting. Your audio sounds awesome and is exactly what I'm trying to achieve!
Omg this guy is the best in the game. He actually sounds better than most people who gives vo advice. I'm truly finally impressed. Many blessings!
Fantastic video, John. Clear as crystal! I shall now watch your other videos.
Thank you. Awesome teaching skills
Best voice over tutorial video I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
Love the way you teach!
Great video, thank you! I'm new to creating VO's and this was so helpful!
Great, thank you so much for this video, it just explained limiter and desired volume levels so well and right to the point.... amazing!
That was brilliant! Most videos like this bore on for ages, being repetitive and pointlessly long and assuming moronic viewers but this was just right. Great job!!
Love your voice. . Your explanation is excellent too. Great work..subbed.
5:40 that... that right there is the detail I have needed this entire time! You have single handedly improved my audio significantly. My voice overs just got so much better!
yeah that helped me too!!
At last. An audio training video I can actually understand! Thanks so much. Wish I'd seen this video first.
Thank you William - VERY clear instruction - we got the basics easily in one listen - thank you
Thank you Sir for the great tips. You have an amazing voice!
Thank you so much! This video tutorial is beautiful. I love your voice and the information is phenomenal. I needed this! Thanks again!
I have learned more with a handful of your videos than I did over a year long internship with a burnout soundguy.
Thank you.
Amazing information! Super grateful I ran into this. Thanks for the work.
i am a future broadcast major , show host , and recording artist . videos like yours help me sound more like those that i aspire to be like .. in my opinion you are one of youtube’s best instructors. Thank you .. and please keep talking 🤟🏾✨
I don't know how I've overlooked running the limiter.
Thank you! 👍
I found this very instructive indeed. With one, or just a few loud spikes, I normally just highlight them and reduce them that way. I've never used 'normalise' but will now try this technique.
That was great! Simple, measured, easy to understand. Thank you!
Outstanding tut. Very informative and professional. Keep them coming (and you have such a graet voice indeed)
Thank you so much for this explanatory video! It’s far by far the best in theory. Thank you !!
Been making TH-cam videos for 18 months. Finally found a video that explains what I should be doing with my Audio and the why and how!
Loved it, thank you!
Loving this, thank you!!
William Williams, this is gold. Thank you very much.
Really enjoy your approach. Will be sharing this with some of my clients/students.
Absolutely helpful and clear! Thanks for simplifying!
Congratulations for achieving being the first to keep my interest in this matter.
Kudos as well as touche' to God.
pretty good tut, with advice that carries over to many programs regardless what you use.
Awesome teaching! You helped me a great deal! Thank You!
Finally! Someone who knows what is talking about! Awesome vid!
Beautiful tips, thank you very much
This is what I call, legendary
Really great tips. I love your voice too
Very creative and captivating way of explaining the digital audio headroom, limting and normalizing. I was glued to the tube. :-)
Your voice is so calming
You are a legend SIR
But we want more videos. ☺️
Your explanation and analogies made normalisation and limiting very easy to understand!
Thats where the experience matters. Thanks a lot. Splendid explanation. Really useful.
This was the most useful audio lesson I have had yet.
Gold! The best explanation ever.
This is gold information, planning to start a podcast and this seems perfect for editing the episodes, than random guy of the internet
Thank you for your video, I recently wrote a book and a lot of people told me I should make an audible version. After a little research to discover which microphone I should use. (I only went for a cheap version due to a low budget) I then Downloaded Audible, plus the ASX analyser. I have watched many of your video's and then use them to practice producing and improving how I read. I loved the illustration of the trees; it enabled me to understand the process. Thank you.
The sound in this video is AWESOME!!!
This is what a tutorial is supposed to be like. Thank you Sir!
Thank you so much! very informative. i feel i understand audio levels much better. cant wait to apply these tips to my next video!
YOU! are doing the best!
You are such a good teacher.

The difference between an amateur and a professional! Hats off!
very helpful video sir, thank you!
Omg thanks for making this stuff easy to understand
Wonderful, thank you very much
You deserve so many more subscribers great voice and video!
Are you Bill Williams. I recognized the voice the minute I heard it from another room.
I received my own voice over training from you back in the '90's. Good to see you (from a distance). I live far away from CA these days. Remember you quite well. Have mentioned you / your studios / and your wonderful training every chance I get. SMILE.
I am surprised I never saw this video before, so thanks to TH-cam for recommending it! Really nice job teaching this subject, William. I use Normalizing as part of the post-processing routine I set up for voice actors. It's just one of many steps used to polish up the audio before it heads off to the casting person or client!
George The Tech ...what setting do you use for limiter? And do you also normalize at -3db!
That was such a simple way to explain it. I think you must have been a 1st grade teacher which is about the level I learn the best!!! Thank you!
This was really helpful thanks!! :)
Very well done and helpful video. Thank you.
I learned so much here!!!! Thank you, sir!
Thank you very much..been dealing with this for a long time
Superb teaching - thanks so much!

Thanks for your advice! Now, I understand!
I didn't understand much but your voice is so perfect that I listened to the whole damn thing.
Thank you for this valuable information! I hope you do other technical tips too like removing echo, reducing echo inside the room before recording.
Thank you so much! Awesome teaching stule. Super usefull video!
