Luis Cruz: Hello, mga kapiVAHay!

Ako si Luis Cruz, at nandito na naman ako para sagutin ang mga ilang tanong niyo tungkol sa VO.

Sa video na ‘to, dalawang tanong ang sasagutin ko: Una, “Dapat ko bang i-EQ ang mga voice over ko?”

At pangalawa, “Kailangan ko bang lagyan ng compression ang mga voice overs ko?”

Aaminin ko, parang palagi na lang, kahit anong tanong, ang sagot ko, “depende.”

Pero ganun talaga, eh. Depende sa kailangan ng kliyente, depende sa kakayahan mo, at depende sa iba pang mga bagay.

Pero sa dalawang tanong na ‘to, makakapagbigay ako ng straightforward na sagot: Hindi ninyo kailangang gamitan ng EQ o compression ang mga VO ninyo.

Leave Technical Aspects to Professionals

Ang kailangan n’yo lang, eh… teka lang, pakinggan n’yo na lang si Joe:

Joe: “And for audio editing, all you have to learn is basically an up of your recordings. You don’t have to become a sound engineer. That’s why there are sound engineers; they’re professionals. Let’s leave those more technical things up to them. But the least you can do is make sure that you submit really nice, clean recordings to your clients.”

Luis Cruz: Ayan, di na ako nagsabi niyan, ha?

Leave it up to the professionals.

Pero kung may alam ka naman talaga tungkol sa EQ o sa compression, sige, pwede mong i-apply sa mga VO mo.

Pero malamang din, may mga engineer o editor na kasama sa mga projects na makukuha mo, at malamang mas may alam sa lahat kaysa sa ‘yo tungkol sa EQ at compression.

Kaya pabayaan mo na lang sila gumawa, di ba?

Final Answer and Engaging with the Audience

Okay, yan, na sagot ko. Final answer.

Ah, baka may mga tanong kayo, o baka may iba kayong gustong sabihin, mag-comment lang kayo.

At promise, babasahin namin, at kung kaya, syempre, sasagutin namin mga tanong ninyo.

Okay, yan, wala na akong maisip sabihin, kaya ito na lang: Don’t forget to like and subscribe. Sa susunod ulit, mga kapitVAHay! Bye.

Luis Cruz: Hello, my kapiVAHays!

I’m Luis Cruz, and I’m here again to answer some of your questions about VO.

In this video, I’ll answer two questions: First, “Should I EQ my voice overs?”

And second, “Do I need to add compression to my voice overs?”

I admit, it seems like no matter the question, my answer is always, “it depends.”

But that’s just how it is. It depends on the client’s needs, your capabilities, and various other factors.

But for these two questions, I can give a straightforward answer: You don’t need to use EQ or compression on your VOs.

Leave Technical Aspects to Professionals

What you need to do is… wait, just listen to Joe:

Joe: “And for audio editing, all you have to learn is basically to clean up your recordings. You don’t have to become a sound engineer. That’s why there are sound engineers; they’re professionals. Let’s leave those more technical things up to them. But the least you can do is make sure that you submit really nice, clean recordings to your clients.”

Luis Cruz: There you have it, I didn’t say that, right?

Leave it up to the professionals.

But if you do know something about EQ or compression, sure, you can apply it to your VOs.

However, there are likely engineers or editors involved in the projects you get, and they probably know more about EQ and compression than you do.

So, just let them do their job, right?

Final Answer and Engaging with the Audience

Okay, that’s it, I’ve answered. Final answer.

Ah, if you have any questions, or if there’s anything else you’d like to say, just leave a comment.

And we promise, we’ll read it, and if we can, of course, we’ll answer your questions.

Okay, that’s it, I can’t think of anything else to say, so just this: Don’t forget to like and subscribe. Until next time, my kapiVAHays! Bye.
