The other day, when I swiped the clip of Han Xue's voiceover for Snow Spike in White Nights, the hairs on my back stood up. That kind of cold and hidden dark voice, really can not just pinch the voice can be imitated. Then I wondered if I could use a free tool to give ordinary people's voices a touch of Han Xue's unique texture. After months of trying and stepping on countless potholes, I'm going to show you something really useful today.
The underlying logic of the voice: Han Xue is not "pretending" to be something she is not
A lot of people look for voice changers right off the bat, in the wrong direction. What are the qualities of Han Xue's voice? It's that clear base, like the crunch of crystal clinking glasses, but underneath it's calm and powerful. She speaks at a slow pace, leaving just the right amount of white space between words, especially at the end of the sentence, often gently closed, leaving a breath, but it seems to mean a lot. You try to read "so ah ..." - do not drag the end of the long, said "ah" word when the breath suddenly light down, like a feather to the ground, the flavor will come out! The flavor will come out.
Grinding out textured vocals without spending a dime
The equipment does not need to burn money, I still use 99 dollars of ordinary headphones with their own microphone. The key is in the environment: late at night, close the windows, pull a thick quilt hung on the back of the chair as a sound-absorbing board, cell phone recordings are cleaner than the cafe's thousand-dollar mike.

Don't underestimate the "Audio Adjustment" of the projection cut. After importing the dry sound, first pull down the noise to about 60%, if you are too hard, the sound will be weak. Here's the kicker:Tap "Equalizer.". Hanxue's mid-high frequencies are especially beautiful, try to push up the 1kHz-4kHz range by 2-3 dB, don't be afraid of the teeth, the back can be saved. Then adjust the "variable speed" function.Speed down to 0.95 timesAt the same time, check the "sound modulation", the tone will naturally sink, the sense of stability will come out. Finally, use the "vocal enhancement" to make up a little thickness, do not exceed 20%, or become electric sound.
The "Soundstage" function of "Must Cut" is great. Select the "studio" mode, reverb value control in 8%-12%, instantly get rid of the bathhouse sound effect.Audacity (open source magic) for advanced players:Narrowing the dynamic range with a "compressor".With the threshold set to -15dB and the ratio 2:1, the sound immediately becomes flat and dense, like a professional radio drama.
Han Xue-style breath processing secret: breathing is also a line
Her breath changes are almost inaudible, but her emotions are all in the rhythm of her breathing. To practice this, you have to "abuse yourself": find a monologue by Han Xue, and while listening to it, draw slashes with a pencil to mark the points where she changes her breath. When I recorded it myself.Deliberately inhale quickly through the nose at the slash positionDon't lift your shoulders. With practice you will realize that the original gasp can also convey hesitation, tension or restraint.
Emotional projection: you're not reading, you're "becoming."
When Han Xue was paired with Yukiho, she was said to have read the original book repeatedly until 3am. We ordinary people practicing clips.At least figure out if it's a test, a self-deprecating remark, or a hidden concern.For example, the word "you've worked hard". For example, in the words "You've worked hard", the accent on the word "you" is sympathetic, while the word "hard" may be sarcastic. Don't rush to listen to it after recording it on your cell phone. Cover the subtitles and play it for yourself to see if you can hear the subtext in the lines.
Cashing in on the wild side: voices can be exchanged for milk tea money too
I've gotten orders from the audiobook ordering support group. Newcomers shouldn't overpay.I'll give out a few samples for free to save up my portfolio.The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. Corporate promotional video narration offer can be bold (Party A budget enough), such as the local tea house promo, I picked up at 300 yuan per minute, with the Han Xue-style cold narrative style. Himalaya do paid albums too volume, not as good as knowledge bloggers do course narration, demand is high, the sound quality requirements instead of loose.
Real recording accidents: first aid for mike spraying and sputtering sounds
Don't rerecord when the spray mike breaks! Use Audacity to select the popping part of the song.In "Effects", select "Repair - Chipping Repair".The sound can be saved up to 70% of the time. Mouth sound is more common, select the "hiss" sound section, use the "graphic equalizer" to pull down the high frequency above 8kHz, immediately refreshing. These details determine whether the party will call you "unprofessional".
