The methods used to enhance voices and remove background noise on MP3 clips varies depending on what type of program you use. There are many to choose from running the gambit from the simplest to the most complicated. Camtasia falls somewhere in between and is a great program for working with your MP3 clips and you can purchase and download the software right from the Internet. Once you have it downloaded, you'll want to follow these steps:
Audio Enhancements:
1. Click "Audio Enhancements" option from "Task List."
2. The "Audio Enhancements" will appear. Choose the "even out volume levels option."
3. Choose an option on the "Settings" menu that is the best description of the audio variation levels on the "Timeline."
4. The leveling of volume should happen immediately. Choose " Play" in preview to hear the newly created audio. Check and uncheck "Even out volume levels" while the audio is playing, you should be able to hear an audio quality comparison before and after the option is applied.
5. Choose "OK."
Removing Background Noise:
1. Click the "Audio Enhancements" option from "Task List."
2. The page "Audio Enhancements" will appear. Choose the "Remove Noise" button. The silence selection will detect any noise in the clip.
3. Once the process completes the status will turn green and shows the notice "Noise Removal Enabled."
4. The waveform audio color will change colors from teal to burgundy. Choose "Play" in preview to hear the newly created audio. Once the video is running, check and uncheck "Restore Noise" to hear an audio comparison for quality after and before choosing the option.
5. Choose "OK."
If you happen to be refining your MP3 clips for voice over auditions, you will want to produce the best audio quality possible each and every time you hit record. If there are foreign sounds in the background or foreground of your auditons producers and casting directors will get distracted and move on. Your demos and auditions need to be of consistent professional quality in order to represent your voice over services in the best possible light. The first few seconds the producer clicks the play button on your audition demo are fleeting. So take the time needed when preparing your demos and polish them up before clicking the send button. Taking those extra steps will give you a better chance capturing the interest of the producer in those first few precious seconds and may help you land the job.
