Harlan Hogan's Porta-Booth Ensures Quality Voice-Overs On The Road
VoiceOverXtra.com is the voice-over industry's online news and resource center
But sometimes, a business trip or vacation beckons, creating a dilemma: How to provide quality voice-over recordings while on the road?
“When you’re on the road, you’ll often find yourself in less-than-perfect recording environments,” says veteran voice actor and author Harlan Hogan. “Even a very quiet hotel room can sound like a big, boomy box to your microphone.”
Hogan wants to keep busy on the road. “I love this work!” he says. And it shows. As one of America's favorite voices, Hogan has pressed many commercial slogans into our memories, including "Kills bugs fast. Kills bugs dead," "The cereal even Mikey likes," and "Hey Culligan Man!" We also hear him today in countless promos, narrations and documentaries.
In a new article on VoiceOverXtra.com (www.VoiceOverXtra.com) - the voice-over industry’s news and resource center – Hogan describes his solution for eliminating “road noise” from recordings.
He devised the Porta-Booth, a collapsible box lined with 2’-inch thick insulating foam, into which the microphone happily sits in dead quiet. The article, posted in VoiceOverXtra’s Home Studio section, describes how to build such a box, and where to find the materials.
“It’s a simple, practical and inexpensive way to sound good anywhere,” Hogan says, “at home or on the road.”
