Coming soon: Tech certification of personal studios. 0:10:49 George takes care of a question from last week about the Avalon mic pre-amp. It’s complicated, and George sorts through it. “If it sounds good it is good.” One option: The Behringer UCA 202 http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCA202.aspx or you have spend a lot more money. The Apogee duet analog to digital converter is in the middle, about $600.0:13:42 Dan shows the iTrack Solo. The high-end gear is for rock musicians. 0:14:31 Jerry Reed asks how to record while Skyping in Linux. George replies.

Chris tells the tale.0:37:33 Chris realizes he wanted to try acting and started taking lessons. He hit voice-over and got a job from his very first audition. Chris tells some fun stories about his work.0:40:28 Chris tells the story about working for a filmmaker who turned out to be a serial killer. Chris spent 3 weeks knowing the police were gathering information and having a deadline for him to come up with money for the film.0:44:59 Chris was on some US TV shows about the incident.0:46:19 George asked how this whole experience influenced Chris’ VO career. Chris contacted George and asked him about gear. Chris decided to go online to find out what Don Lafontaine had in his studio. Chris finally found George who told him not to buy expensive gear. 0:48:57 Dan asks what Chris has in his studio. Gear talk ensues. Chris geared up before he thought about having a studio.0:51:38 And the moral of the story…followed by more gear talk.0:52:52 Chris talks about finding a VO coach. He ended up doing a show at the Laugh Factory and now it’s his “home club.” He met MJ Lallo who coached him a real short notice. 0:55:42 Break. VoiceOverXtra.com.

Show LogEpisode 162, October 20, 2014Audio Masters Roundtable0:02:05 Here they are!0:02:30 Thanks to our sponsors, VoiceOver Essentials, VoiceOverXtra, and Edge Studios.0:03:45 Introductions for the AudioMasters Roundtable, all folks to help with audio and technical issues.0:04:01 Steve Sisk, from Vancouver. siskstudio.com0:04:41 Cliff Zellman, DallasVO.com0:05:19 Jordan Reynolds, jordanreynolds.com0:06:31 Juan Carlos Bagnell, http://someaudioguy.blogspot.com/0:07:20 Uncle Roy Yokelson, antlandproductions.com0:09:03 Dan starts with the questions. 1. What’s the hottest thing in VO technology today?0:09:34 Juan Carlos begins with newest version of Android supporting mobile recording. Discussion ensues.0:10:57 Jordon likes the Apogee mic (http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/mic) and how portable it is, and the Kayotica Eyeball, http://kaoticaeyeball.com/ 0:12:43 Cliff jumps in about the Eyeball. It works in some situations and not in others.0:13:36 Juan Carlos adds and back and forth follows.0:14:14 Uncle Roy joins in about the Eyeball and the PortaBooth Plus and a little EQ.0:15:10 George joins in. 0:16:22 Cliff talks about Audio Evolution Mobil, a recording app for Android. http://www.audio-evolution.com/ Discussion follows.0:17:32 Dan asks Steve about cutting edge stuff. What he’s finding cool is Apogree 1, Version 2, for iOS and Mac: http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/one. He clamps it onto the auto theft prevention device, the Club.0:19:30 ipDTL discussion. Then George brings up Apogee and Avid’s partnership. 0:20:40 Discussion about new microphones showing up at AES.0:21:12 Mike Varela joins the group. http://nuancetone.com/ 0:21:40 Mike’s first reply about new, cool stuff: NOT Yosemite, the new OS for Mac. There’s an issue with ProTools 10. 0:23:37 Break. VO Studio Tech and a bunch of bumpers. 0:25:58 They’re back. Mike had another item: Time Warner is updating modems in L.A.0:27:14 Dan suggests they talk about whether personal studio audio is improving. We go around the horn, starting with Uncle Roy. His concern is pacing of audiobooks. Juan talks about tools improving vs. education for commercials. Part of the issue is finding out what your sound should be. 0:30:32 George talks about US setting trends.0:30:45 Uncle Roy on fads, followed by Juan Carlos on too many plug-ins. 0:31:25 Cliff jumps in. He likes that VO talent is understanding it’s the environment where they record. 0:32:32 Steve finds older more established VO tend not to be open to learning how to use their gear. George chimes in about established talent attitude about gear knowledge.0:34:24 Mike wonders about folks not understanding basic tech processes. Uncle Roy joins in. 0:36:00 Juan Carlos talks about how setups work and then when a major upgrade comes along, they have trouble.0:36:40 Jordan adds his thoughts about gear, where some learn too much and others resist. But he thinks acoustics are improving. George and Juan Carlos add to the discussion about microphones.0:40:09 Dan asks what the group thinks is the most important thing to do technically, for auditions, what would they do? 0:40:45 Uncle Roy talks about normalizing and having high enough volume.0:41:51 George talks about how casting people listen for audio quality first, then acting. Juan Carlos talks about casting. Mike reinforces the idea. 0:44:03 Steve talks about getting the best sound out of your gear. Common errors, using the laptop mic or having a mic turned around. 0:46:00 Dan asks Cliff how long it takes to figure out a VO actor doesn’t know what they’re doing. Consensus: 5 seconds. A discussion about editing, breaths, and processing follows. 0:47:53 Dan says a personal studio is to make you sound like you, not something else.0:48:18 Q: Has anyone heard a recording “stacked” by George Whittam. A: If you’re doing your job well, nobody should hear it. 0:50:34 Jordan likes George’s stacks because they’re subtle. The risk is if the room changes and the downward expander can clip off ends of words. 0:52:00 Jordan talks about what he hears at auditions with deep-voiced guys, you don’t need to boost their deep voices deeper. 0:53:25 Jordan says cutting low end is more favorable than boosts and makes top end sound brighter. 0:54:30 Uncle Roy talks about adding music and how this processing affects sound.0:55:10 Michelangelo and VO, by Cliff.0:56:00 Dan says the chat room has maxed out for the first time ever!0:56:22 Break. Home Studio Master. 0:57:34 Whence came these two radiant celestial brothers… and bumpers.0:58:16 They’re back. Harlan Hogan time. His gear doesn’t suck! His products are designed specially for voice-over. Use the EWABS webpage to link to Harlan’s page, http://www.ewabs.net/1:01:06 Time now for audience questions. Q: How do I remove those slight peaks before normalizing? Is there a way to automate this work? Mike says use a limiter in post production. Keep threshold and ceiling the same. Jordan likes the Tone Boosters Barricade, a plug-in. http://www.toneboosters.com/tb-barricade/ It costs €19.95 (euros). Another is the Fab Filter Pro L (http://www.fabfilter.com/products/pro-l-brickwall-limiter-plug-in). 1:05:36 Cliff says ProTools now has a “clip gain” tool. He’s afraid to have something doing everything for him. 1:07:25 Q: Is there a way in Twisted Wave to edit out breaths and replace with silence? A: George says you have to do it by hand. Uncle Roy says breaths are part of the performance. George says use the Amplify tool (F). Don’t silence.1:09:24 Mike says to record 10-15 of room tone at the top of the recording. Wear headphones and listen to it. Zoom in to see wave forms.1:10:40 Juan Carlos says to choose breaths that fit the piece. One size can’t fit all.1:11:33 Q: Can you create batches in Twisted Wave? A: Dan talks about markers. See EWABS Essentials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTBrctqrB0c&list=PLDHBaemlTK_T7X-gGnPiTq9zcc7YcVuZH&index=71:12:07 Uncle Roy talks about Word to Wave software for doing e-learning files. 1:12:47 Q: What do you believe if all the engineers don’t agree. A: Cliff, pick what you want to eat for dinner. Mike adds that a professional will add to another professional’s opinion, not run them down. Juan Carlos adds that this a technical art. 1:16:25 Steve says ultimately there’s no one way to do anything in recording. George adds that asking someone whose opinion you trust is a way to solve confusion. 1:17:34 Dan says it’s a matter of perspective, depending on what you do in the business. Does it sound good?1:18:14 Juan Carlos talks about tech are another aspect of artistic expression.1:18:48 Q: I’ve worked with video producers who muck up the audio. Should I mention something or walk away? A: Uncle Roy comments. Juan Carlos says it depends on your role—just VO?—walk away. 1:21:37 Jordan comments: not worth it. Dan says, it’s all about relationships. Steve says your job is to deliver good, clean audio. “Seize the check!” Carpe cheque!1:23:30 Q: Where should I record my demos, personal studio or other? A: Cliff says the quality of your demo should reflect the quality you offer day to day. 1:24:46 Juan Carlos is torn. Ad agencies in LA expect you to record the job away from your personal studio. Cliff adds that most of his contact is with non-LA talent. Jordan talks about building a demo remote. 1:27:30 Uncle Roy says you’re not demoing that you can do production. They’re theoretically your clean audio that someone else engineered.1:28:43 Around the horn one more time:-Steve — don’t be afraid of the tools, the worst that can happen is that you have to re-record. Get in there and get your hands dirty. Have fun.-Cliff — learn and practice as much as you can, give us audio that needs to least amount of work. Follow file label requirements to the letter.-Mike — spend the time, it’s a career choice. Things come with time. Be humble. Listen with open ears. Analyze. Ask questions. Weigh the advice you get. Check out linda.com on EQ compression, tutorials on Audacity and other programs. -Jordan — Motto: Acoustics Always Trump Gear. Take the time to learn, but don’t fall for “must have” gear. If you don’t know what it is, you probably don’t need it.-Roy — If it’s not broken don’t fix it. There’s more to life than plug-ins. Leave some breaths in! A discussion of air follows. Remember your settings and experiment. Ask questions.-Juan — Avoid buying stuff to just buy stuff. Gear won’t make you competitive. Don’t throw money at problems that aren’t there. -George — At AES Focal Press was there with books. One title that might help: Recording Secrets for the Small Studio, by Mike Senior. It’s more than you need to know. It’s for “project studios” like VO actors use. http://www.amazon.com/Recording-Secrets-Small-Studio-Senior/dp/0415716705/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1413918891&sr=1-1&keywords=recording+secrets+for+the+small+studio-Dan — The author is with Sound on Sound Studio, another good resource: http://www.soundonsound.com/1:41:30 Thanks to donors.

Randy does the Emmys, AFI, Oscars, SAG, Tonys. She kicked the door open for women. Other women now get the bookings. 0:42:01 Dan asks what they’re looking for in these auditions.

She’s been at the Tonys the last 16 years and how that show has won Emmys for a live show. 0:47:17 George asks what she hears in her headphones during the show. Randy talks about hearing all the show cues from the director. She gets the live feed in one side, and the other has the director. Then, once she was cued, she swaps so she can hear herself enunciate. 0:50:00 George talks about his first season doing tech for Eagles football games and how intense it was.0:50:37 Randy adds that it’s a job staying focused and in the zone.0:51:30 What about being on-camera while announcing live?0:52:20 Dan asks what other work Randy does.

A: Oscars…and more.1:07:57 Q: Did you have trouble getting an agent at first? A: Definitely. She was a disc jockey. That all changed when she booked the Oscars. Today, there are many ways to go. If you’re not union, you don’t really need an agent. 1:09:12 Q: How do auditions work for live-announce gigs. A: Different ways. Any show from a particular city, belongs there. E.g., Kennedy Center Honors, is done by D.C. area talent. She originally got the Tonys while living in L.A.

Episode 159, September 29, 2014
Guest: Marc Cashman and his new book V-Oh!
George answers fan questions
Dan shows his clicker editing
0:01:49 They begin!
0:03:35 If you have questions for George or Dan, write to ewabshop@gmail.com
0:04:20 Q: What’s the best material for a VO floor? A: Carpeting.
0:05:16 Dan adds that wooden flooring will absorb sound some, George adds that floor reflection generally go back into your mic.
0:06:25 Joe Cipriano is looking for better internet connection. George helped him and found California Internet http://cainternet.net/. They provide “the last mile” to Joe’s house with microwave. The downside is you need line of sight from the tower with the signal. Another vendor: Towerstream (http://www.towerstream.com/)
0:09:06 Satellite is another option, but latency (delay) may be an issue. Microwave has very low latency. Satellite can add 2 sec. of latency. This could be an issue with Skype and ipDTL.
0:10:32 Q: What are your opinions on ipDTL? A: Dan discusses. A common question is how do you record at your end? Dan mentions SoundFlower. http://soundflower.en.softonic.com/mac. Others: Audio Hijack https://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/
0:12:40 This will be a year of transition, George predicts.
0:13:20 Q: Resources for newbies.
0:13:50 George plays the question.
0:14:58 George and Dan answer. (The question came via Speakpipe. To send in a spoken question, go to http://www.ewabs.net/, scroll down to the SEND QUESTION sideways tab you’ll see.) First, great audio quality! But, if you don’t have a budget for training, you may not be able to start a VO business. Lots of coaches work remotely.
0:16:23 Start at Episode 1 of EWABS. Or, google “EWABS coach” and you’ll see every issue of EWABS where a coach was on.
0:17:19 Break. VO Studio Tech. Larry Davis bumper.
0:18:45 Dan has a webinar coming up on October 15 on VoiceOverXtra (http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs110/1102478472127/archive/1118561011103.html)
Dan will talk about audio quality for auditions.
0:20:13 Tip of the Week: Using sound codes for audio recording and editing.
0:26:22 George tries out another sound!
0:27:01 Write to Dan if you have a Tip of the Week topic at ewabshop@gmail.com.
0:27:47 Break. Home Studio Master and Sponge Bob.
0:29:12 They’re back with Marc Cashman. http://www.cashmancommercials.com/ Dan recalls the last time Marc was on, giving Dan directions for a read. See Episode 139, April 7, 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGfhFMIT_wY
0:29:55 Marc shows his new book, V-Oh!, 35 years in the making. http://www.amazon.com/V-Oh-Tricks-Techniques-Sustain-Voiceover/dp/0990395804/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1412091907&sr=8-2&keywords=V-Oh!
0:30:40 The book is a compilation of 15 years’ worth of writing, plus 25 percent more.
0:34:39 Dan asks for an example of a tidbit from the book. Marc talks about the chapter called “The Sounds of Punctuation.” Punctuation has sounds! Marc explains.
0:36:45 We are voice actors and our audience is “blind.” They can’t see us. We have to compensate. Sometimes it comes down to the “sound” of a punctuation mark.
0:37:55 Dan recounts his favorite tip, that the script isn’t in stone. Marc says you just have to know when it’s appropriate to know where the script IS in stone.
0:38:50 Audiobooks and plays are in stone. Legal copy is set. E-learning modules have to be right to the letter.
0:39:53 You can change advertising copy, if you’re judicious about it. Don’t be a VO lemming. Correct obvious mistakes.
0:41:08 Q: Is there an audiobook version of the book? A: That’s his last big project of the year.
0:42:26 Dan asks how much voice work Marc does himself. Marc says it varies month to month. Every day is different.
0:43:42 Dan talks about taking classes. What is teaching a class like?
0:44:07 Marc is going on 15 years of teaching. He recounts how he got into it. Through substituting for another teacher, he began developing a curriculum and syllabus.
0:45:45 Now his classes are in a professional, commercial studio with an engineer to record the work and direction. Classes are on Saturdays and include mid week homework, and other material like scripts and articles.
0:49:00 Commercials are your Bachelor’s degree in VO. Specific genres like audiobooks and promo are advanced degrees.
0:49:30 The best actors never stop learning, never.
0:50:07 Example: Al Pacino wants to go back to stage acting, to be on the wire without a net. Marc knows VO actors who are in workout groups that meet regularly to keep honed. He brings the tough scripts he has trouble with to those groups.
0:52:15 It’s Harlan Hogan’s birthday. To help EWABS, use the banner ad at www.ewabs.net to reach Voiceover Essentials. There’s now a lot of video content at Harlan’s site. See the Digital Media library at http://voiceoveressentials.com/
0:55:06 They’re back with questions for Marc. Q: Discuss the process of taking eyes off the script. A: Marc discusses. As an aside, he’s developed techniques to help actors with dyslexia. Marc asks his students to take eyes off the script for cut lines and key phrases.
0:57:12 Marc describes stage actors learning to “throw” or “lift” lines without reading the script. Get off the script whenever you can. The last line is one natural place to do that. To not sound like you’re reading, don’t read!
0:58:58 Keep your eyes on the script when the copy is dense. But for short lines, there’s no need to read them. Anytime you can get your eyes off the page without losing your place, you’ll sound sincere.
1:00:08 Q: What are you thoughts about ad libbing? A: Be judicious. When they say “be conversational,” you can ADD (not change what’s on the page)—enhance rather than change. You’re not an editor or copywriter, you’re an actor whose job is to bring copy to life. “You know,” “you see,” and so on, can be added when appropriate and be judicious. Pick your places. And make it better.
1:02:52 Q: Please talk about things to keep in mind when you self direct? A: Marc talks about working in a vacuum, as we do when we’re in our booths.
1:04:05 How many takes is too many? When it starts sounding studied. Sometimes you won’t know until you listen back during editing. Other times, you may need to take a break.
1:06:45 Q: Can Marc read a passage from the book? A: Marc reads from page 162:
1:07:22 A 21st Century Rant. How to say the year we’re in.
1:10:07 Q: What is “tough stuff” for you? A: Marc discusses how really short copy is really hard for him.
1:11:46 Also, poorly written copy is hard and he refuses to audition for it.
1:12:42 Marc’s book is at Amazon and his website, cashmancommercials.com. Coming soon: the ebook on Kindle. The audiobook is coming.
1:14:18 Break. VoiceoverXtra. And several bumpers.
1:15:33 They’re back with announcements.
1:59:59 George’s mom and Ella are in the studio.
1:16:51 New sponsor: Narratorhelper.com, which can help audiobook narrators with post production work, proofing, and pre-reading. Amy Whittam does this.
1:17:55 October 6: Anthony Mendez will be the guest.
1:18:30 October 13: Randi Thomas will be the guest.
1:18:55 October 20: Audio Masters Roundtable for personal studio technology. Send questions to ewabshop@gmail.com.

Voice Over Body Shop Podcast
The entire voice over and voice acting community knows, when it comes to creating and maintaining a “personal professional voice over studio,” the place to get the proper information on how to do it right is the Voice Over Body Shop. Dan Lenard and George Whittam make it easy and fun and, hopefully prevent thousands of dollars of mistakes and hours of mind-numbing frustration.
