The point is getting good enough gear so it passes the bullshit ACX requirements. For instance, noisefloor too low😅😅. It’s all about getting a good sound so you can work with flow. Good mic and a good preamp mixer. Sorted. Also spectral tools in Audacity is gold🍺
This was excellent!!!! You are so great at making videos and so beautiful!! Its funny because I literally was thinking "I do not have the equipment to start that" 🤦🏾♀🙄 but I appreciate this video and excited about it. Since you have equipment and professional sound, have you connected with Bunny Studio? I forgot where I found them but got lost in the equipment sauce there too lol
See?! Got ya! Yes, don’t overthink it. Start with the basics and you’ll be good to go. Regarding Bunny Studio, I have spoken about them in my video about alternatives to ACX. I’ve stuck with ACX. But it’s great to have options. Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback. Have a great day. And don’t be a stranger. 😊
@@NikkiConnected I am going to get the basics, so proud of you, congratulations Goddess. And thank you for sharing. Have you seen the twins that talk about how to make money selling Audio books online? I was looking into that & it’s basically, you pay the ghost writer, the graphic designer for book cover and then the audio narrator and then make your money back with book sales. So, when I seen you teaching/doing narrating, I was like omg, I know what that is but I didn’t realize that one could just audition, I thought people had to be experienced. So your story is very inspiring. I was always interested in voice over industry period but would lose focus in the rabbit holes because of me needing to upload a professional recording. But you helped tremendously by filling in those blanks because I didn’t realize Audacity could be used.🥰 Your videos are such a great quality, looking forward to the next! Keep up the great work. I see Whitney Houston vibes when you smile and talk. I don’t know why, maybe you just remind me of her but stay beautiful and prosperous! 💐
This is so sweet! Thank you! I’m going to repost on my IG story. I did hear of the twins. But I’ve only heard others’ opinions, so far. But I’m so glad you’ve gotten clarity from my content. That was my goal when I created these videos and to give honest feedback from the perspective of a beginner. Thanks again for being a light in my day. I needed this. BTW, I grew up wishing I was Whitney Houston. Especially those pipes! 🎤 Have a great day! 💖
@@NikkiConnected Awwwee that’s super deep- cause you remind me of her and I kept thinking it. When she was younger, pre Bobby drama she just had the beautiful smile and charismatic energy & I kept thinking you reminded me of someone And I was like oh- omg! When I finally realized, it was Beautiful young Whitney “I wanna Dance with Somebody” I think that was pre all the drama! And yes omg yes we all want that singing talent but that’s why I love Cheryl Porter voice of (“Simba”) Lion King because she reminds people, that anyone can be a better singer and I always felt that way, so I love that. And she had someone on there- who did not know how to hit any of these notes for the’ At Last’ Etta James Song.😂 she stated patient and respectful though, like a masterful teacher. Yes!! Continue to do amazing, your inspiring & helping many. I seen another video by Diamond Chanel and she did a video on the Narration topic and she said in another video- that she made 40k off that one narration video, 👀so allot of people are looking to make a change. I have been doing recruiting since 2015 and though it’s been great to have something I can do from home, as a single parent too- I am excited to follow your low cost starter equipment recommendations and advice and Audition!!! I love reading- especially for money, so I think that’s wonderful. In 2020, I started my UA-cam journey with meditation, then music and then omg just some tantrums about whatever I wanted and So I understand how much work and effort you put in, to get the quality videos you create.😇 🥰♥️🌹🌺🌷🌻💃🏽
Mrs.Nikki what do you use to edit your UA-cam video’s if you can can you do a video on your vlog channel because I know it will ruin your algorithm on this one
Hey! I'm so sorry for just replying, I just saw this comment in the spam filter. (Dang UA-cam). But, I'm glad I caught it. I use Final Cut Pro X on Mac. But, I have a wealth of info to share about my editing process in general. Honestly, I agree that my vlog channel would probably be a better place than this one, but I'm pretty sure that the algorithm would be unforgiving there, too. So, I may put it on this channel so more people have a chance of seeing it. I'll have to figure it out, but I may have a relevant video idea that I can sneak editing into. So, stay tuned. 😉 Thanks for the awesome suggestion. I've marked your handle to not get put in spam again, so feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.😁

Thank you for this! I had no idea about getting a stand.
Just did 5 auditions. Fingers crossed 🤞
Go girl! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@NikkiConnected were u fully equipped when you first started or did you wing it at first
Not for my audition, but definitely before recording the first book.
Very curious how it all went for you? Are you still doing it?
How'd it go
I`ve already bought my equipment but this is a fantastic video for anybody setting out.

Thanks for the tool tips! 😁That Shure does have impressive quality, if your audio's anything to go by.
Yes they do! Thanks for watching.😊
Hi Nikki!
Are you worried about the future of narration being achieved with AI?
Leaving live narrators obsolete?
Hey! I think I answered you directly on IG, but that's an easy NO. I will go deeper here on YT soon.😉
@@NikkiConnected Yay! Thankyou soo much Nikki for your help.🙏❤️ Appreciate it! Look forward to the video.👌
