(openPR) - Voice actors who want to know what voice-over equipment their colleagues are using can now peek into those studios, in a new series of articles and photos on VoiceOverXtra.com - the online news and resource center for voice actors.
Located in the web site’s Home Studio section, these virtual Home Studio Tours reveal the equipment, studio layouts, soundproofing and other factors that are crucial to providing clients with quality voice-overs.
The articles also provide insight into the studio owners’ reasons for buying certain equipment.
For instance, the current online tour explores the West Palm Beach, Florida studio of voice talent Ed Victor. He was recently hired to do all voice-overs for the Florida Lottery – a job that takes him to a Miami studio for recording.
In his first visit to that studio, “The booth was dead silent, and the microphone was the same one the big movie guys use in Los Angeles,” Victor says. “I couldn’t help myself, and broke into my best ‘Don LaFontaine’ (the premier voice of movie trailers).
“The door was open and the ad agency in the next room overheard my impromptu – and called me for an audition right there on the spot!” Victor says. “So I had to get that microphone for my own home studio, and bought one the next day.”
Stories abound from the growing slate of other voice actors whose studios are profiled in the series, including (in alphabetical order) Colin Campbell, Cookie Colletti, Mitch Collins, Luis Garcia, Joan Hovey Hall, Diane Merritt and Alan Varner.
The Home Studio section also features advice on constructing home studios, equipment to use, a voice-over bookstore, and an expansive Home Studio Super Store for quality equipment purchases.
VoiceOverXtra.com is the online news and resource center for voice actors, providing a free virtual library of how-to advice from industry experts and voice-over pros. It also features the industry’s most extensive calendar of industry training and events, a directory of industry sources, an online home studio equipment store, and much more.
