Ian King - Blueprints to Building Your Own Voice-Over Studio
Blueprints to Building Your Own Voice-Over Studio
Ian King
Description
The key thing to always bear in mind with voice acting and audio works is to fight the chief enemy of recordings… and that is ‘noise’. Electronic hum, fan noise, bumps, bangs, bad weather, echos and lawnmowers… whatever. So, I’ve developed a small recording space that gives you plenty of room to gesture wildly within, as you articulate that most dramatic audio book or Movie Trailer.
These are the Dummies Blueprints so you can build your own Voice Acting Studio for less than $500. I list everything you will need, including equipment, tools, supplies and there is a handy measurement conversion chart included.
This book is full with images, scale drawings and accurate measurements so you can develop and see exactly how your own studio is coming along and comparing with a proven, working example.
REVIEW: ***** (R. Reti)
I was glad when I came across this book. I have been annoyed at the amount of background noise that can be heard on my audio recordings.
I thought that I needed to convert a room to achieve a better result. I'm not really capable when it comes to using a hammer, nails, screws and anything building so was really unsure where to start.
After discovering this book by Ian King, I saw a simpler, cost effective solution. Ian explains really simply, breaking down each step, in a way that I could understand. I appreciated the detail he uses, even with photographs, it helped me to understand what he was explaining.
Ian also highlights where we you can save money and where not to compromise on quality. This is all explained and he uses his experience to justify the reasoning for using certain products.
I would recommend this book for anyone who is wanting to create a space where you need to create a high quality audio product. If you are like me, price conscious and have limited building knowledge, you will not be disappointed with the knowledge and ability you gain from Ian's cost effective and simple directions.
REVIEW: ***** (Reading Mom)
If you are looking into getting into a growing industry before it becomes so popular that you are just one among millions, Ian provides you with an inexpensive solution to produce your own audio book as well as generate revenue by being a narrator. His step by step guide is invaluable for a process that would take most people a great deal of time and effort to figure out themselves.
