sounds like your in the red during the music.., and that spells an instant gong in any audio house; do not let your levels EVER get into the red. OR it might be stock uni assignment stuff that they have given you, which in that case you have no control over. The initial first part of any word can be up to a 30 db increase in dynamics on the overall word, especially the Ps and and such. make your audio hot, but not over the red, ever.. or you will lose the job. even if it doesn't sound distorted.

anolgue is a little more forgiving on fast peaks than digital, it will absorb the fast peak into the overall sound better.., this sounds like digital with a little too much reverb and not enough presence (mid tones).

Generally speaking, you have your certain lower fundamental frequencies, with upper harmonics which modulate to create the timbre, or characteristic of a sound (for instance, why a flute sounds different than an acoustic guitar); if a fundamental is, say 60Hz, its harmonic overtones would be 120, 240, 480, etc. For dialog, my general rule-of-thumb breakdown has been the following, at least for a male voice:

- 20-250Hz - Plosives (Popping "Peh" sounds)
- 500Hz - Proximity
- 900Hz - Presence
- 2,000-3,000 Hz - Clarity
- 5,000-6,000 Hz - Brightness/Crispness
- 8,000Hz-10,000Hz - Clicks/Sibilence (sharp "S" hiss sounds)
