Home Studio: Don't Let Inferior Acoustics
Kill Your Auditions ... Dec. 1 Webinar Has Cures
Nov. 26, 2009
 If you were a voice-over producer or casting director and received a recorded audition in which the voice carries an echo, sounds "tinny" - or is accompanied by the background rumble of a passing garbage truck - you'd most certainly hit the DELETE button. So as a voice actor, why bother to record audio that won't get you hired?
One of the culprits of inferior audio is poor home studio acoustics.
And the cure is choosing a studio location wisely, then treating that space to produce your voice at its best.
You have many options for this, and they're explored in Part 2 of Building Your Home Studio: Location and Acoustics, an info-packed webinar on Tuesday night, Dec. 1 (9 p.m. Eastern).
 Featuring sought-after home studio consultant Dan Lenard, this training session comes to you online. Follow the visuals on your computer and hear Dan's advice through your computer speakers, a headset, or by phone.It's the second of the four-part series presented by VoiceOverXtra, which is your guided tour to learning home studio basics, location/acoustics, microphones, interfaces, and how to record and edit for voice-over auditions and jobs.
"It was great! I thoroughly enjoyed last night's webinar with Dan, and I'm looking forward to the one next week" remarked attendee Veronica Boughton in an email immediately following Part 1, Reviewing the Basics.
