Pro tips
Sound like a Pro
When using your own voice
- Use AirPods or something that isn't the phone mic. This helps cut down on tapping noises being recorded when starting and stopping the recordings.
- Speak in your announcer voice, not your every day voice
- If possible find a quiet space, closets are great for reducing noise
- Once recorded, listen to some different preset mixer settings; if need be create your own.
When using the Apple enhanced and premium voices (TTS voices)
- Sample and download the enhanced and premium voices from Apple
- Under Apple's Settings > Accessability > Read & Speak > Voices > English > Voice > look for Zoe, Sophia, Evan, Tom etc. The key is to get premium and enhanced ones downloaded.
- From Walk Up Music DJ app go to Global Settings > Configure TTS Voice > Choose a voice and punch it up with Radio DJ or Stadium to start
- Mess around with it for a bit until you find that perfect voice
- *Note these changes will take a couple minutes to propigate since it needs to retranscode each player in each roster
