Our Voice Acting Recording Process
Recording voice acting is about bringing your script to life. Here’s how we make it happen in our Chicago studio:
-
- Studio Setup: We create a quiet, comfortable environment with optimal acoustics in our sound proof and professionally treated booth to ensure your voice shines. Think of it as the perfect stage for your performance.
-
- Microphone Selection: We choose from our premium mics, usually a Neumann U87, to match your voice’s tone, whether it’s bold and dynamic or soft and nuanced. Mic positioning is fine-tuned for clarity.
-
- Recording: Using our analog gear like our Neve preamps we will use EQ and a bit of 76 compression to capture peaks and a WA2A to glue it all together, we capture clean, high-quality audio. Our focus is on raw recordings that sound professional straight out of the booth.
-
- Playback Review: We provide real-time playback so you can hear your takes and make adjustments, ensuring you’re happy with the performance.
Simplified Recording Process
We’re happy to record your voice acting project however you prefer, but we’ve developed a method to streamline production:
-
- Step 1: Record segment.
-
- Step 2: Playback the take and punch in to fix any mistakes.
Multiple Voices: For projects with multiple voice actors, we set up as many mics as needed. We record a rough take of all actors live together, then each voice actor records their part separately to ensure the highest quality audio.
Results
With this method, our high-quality recordings often need only light mastering, minimizing editing or mixing.
Note: We specialize in recording only for voice acting. For editing, mixing, or mastering, If needed, we’re happy to refer or help you find someone who can polish your projects.
