Welcome to My Home Studio!
Designed by legendary acoustician, John Brandt, this studio was lovingly and meticulously built by hand to exceed today’s standards for the working voice actor. By turning the full room into a studio, I created an environment that more closely resembles the professional recording studios used in major movies, TV, and commercials than the typical home voice-over booth. The room is located in a relatively quiet neighborhood, with additional professional isolation techniques used to seal off the room from unwanted noise. Two types of specialized acoustic absorption panels and two sets of custom acoustic diffuser panels were used in the room treatment. The panels are placed specifically to create the best-sounding voice overs in the location I chose for my “recording station,” but also allow for versatility and experimentation within the space, depending on the project.
