Fun, Fact, Frivolous or Fiction…this month focusing on audio production with insights offered by Sound Kitchen
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Bill Dowling and Karly Joyce are the Sound Kitchen studio team specialising
|
|
in voice-overs for TV, Radio, Podcasts, Audio books, documentaries and more.
|
|
2. A 30 second ad can take hours to complete - from recording, to editing & mixing then delivering, it can take 10 minutes, or even days!
|
|
3. Bill will never forget a session from the 80’s: it took 5 hours for a voice artist
|
|
to record 4 words. The client had the artist laying down, crouching, squatting -
|
|
to get the desired sound. Budgets have changed a lot since then!
|
|
4. Our studio has a corner dedicated to long reads. When a voice artist needs to read for more than an hour at a time, they can sit facing away from the engineer behind the glass and not be distracted.
|
|
5. If we need a sound effect that we don’t have on file, we create the sound we need by recording it. e.g. a phone alert, crowd noises, etc
|
|
6. In a recent radio session, the voice artist had to sit and pretend she was driving to enhance the feel of the script - which had a person being pulled over by police, with the ‘police’ approaching her off microphone. Another voice had to block one nostril to give a ‘nerd’ tone.
|
|
7. Before digital times, we recorded audio onto tape. It required precise documentation to know exactly where every take was located - no cut and paste! After editing and de-breathing a track, you’d end up with slithers of tape stuck all around the studio in case you needed to put them back in.
|
|
8. While lots of people have home studios now, you can’t beat a professional studio for quality. We recently linked up with a home studio which proved to be problem as we could hear a toilet flushing! The voice at the other end said ‘can’t you just edit it out’??
|
|
9. Not everyone can be a voice artist - it’s a skilled art and is very different to acting. Reading out loud without sounding like you’re reading isn’t easy. We often have professional talent in the studio for 2 minutes; one take!
|
|
10. We’ve been recording How Green Was My Cactus since the early 90’s. It’s now Australia’s longest running radio series; written by Doug Edwards and starring Keith Scott and Robyn Moore.
