As you’re working on a video or audio presentation, you may wonder why you don’t just get some friends together and record all the voiceovers in your garage, classroom or some other location. It might seem like the easier or cheaper option, but the fact is having professional radio voice over talent record your script in a studio can save you a lot of possible headaches. Here’s a look at what a voice over studio can offer you. Better Recording Facilities You shouldn’t record your audio just anywhere. For one thing, the structure you record the sound in may not be properly insulated. If the walls are too weak, you risk letting in outside noise like cars, animals, outside weather or people talking, which can get recorded along with your voiceover talent. Also, the acoustics in the room may be bad. You may end up recording echoes along with your dialogue or narration. Recording in a professional voiceover studio that has the proper acoustics and is insulated from outside noises can keep your audio stream from being contaminated with unwanted sounds. Proper Equipment When recording dialogue or narration, you want a file that is as clean as you can get it. There are any number of problems that can occur with voice recording, such as clicking, crackling, popping, hissing, humming or static in the audio. Sometimes the sound, for whatever reason, may not record at all. The quality of the voiceover itself can sometimes suffer. The volume may be uneven, going up and down irregularly without staying constant. The voiceover can also be garbled, when the actual character of the narration changes during the recording. Any one of these problems can take time to properly diagnose, and if you’re not an expert on sound recording, you may have to call in somebody that can help you. Recording radio voice over talent in a studio run by experienced sound engineers will go a long way to preventing this kind of trouble. They do all the work of creating a clean sound file for you. Sound Effects A professional audio studio’s benefits goes beyond just offering professional voiceovers and good equipment. Your video or audio project may require a number of sounds to be looped in as background noise. Perhaps your project uses an image or a moving video of a river stream but you never recorded any sound of running water. Your voiceover studio may have river sounds on file. You can also enhance natural settings by piping in the sound of birds chirping. You may also want to emphasize certain noises like walking or crunching on grass. Adding in the sound of heavy footfalls can enhance video of people walking around on screen. You may even choose to have additional voiceovers recorded so you can dub them over a piece of video where no one on screen is speaking, to help enhance the video’s presentation. The work of a professional voice over studio can work wonders for your video or audio project. Don’t run the risk of using amateur talent or equipment that might not work as you intended. When a studio records radio voice over talent for you, it’s a better way to get clean audio delivered to you with no hassles.
