For
video producers, writers, trainers, speakers, narrators and voiceover artists,
professional audio production can make the vital difference between winning and
losing in a highly competitive marketplace.
King
Street Recording Company provides an unusual array of comprehensive
services to make your production
the best it can be.
 |
In video production, the audio is every
bit as important as the images you work so hard to create. The knowledge,
experience and skills available to you here will help to ensure that your
final production pleases your target audience – and accomplishes your
purpose. |
 |
Training programs are a specialty of the
house and receive attention to the smallest details. To lend credibility and
impact to your narrative, we use actors instead of narrators for maximum
return on your training dollar. |
 |
To use your speaking voice for radio, TV
or instructional projects, a demo CD will help you get booked. Presenting
several different short scripts in a two-minute format should be enough to
allow someone to make a hiring decision in your favor. Since you can’t
possibly know what “they” want to hear on a demo, record what you do best -
then find those who want what you do.
|
Included with Your Recording Session
 |
A production technician with forty years experience
as a professional voice actor, 50 years in professional audio and 20
years as a professional business writer. The purpose of your project will
be thoroughly understood. |
 |
Professional script review with attention to sentence
structure, grammar, spelling, pronunciation and overall theme. Occasional
rare script errors may be corrected before they’re recorded.
|
 |
Competent coaching and direction if requested. |
 |
An 8-track digital recording system combining
Macintosh, Mackie and ProTools, expandable to 24 tracks. The benefit of
multiple tracks is the capacity to make revisions without losing

 |
Long-term storage of original sessions keeps your work
intact and available, allowing you to return months later to make
additions and revisions.

Fine Points
 |
Bring an extra copy of your script for the production technician. Having a second set of
eyeballs perusing your pages can uncover – and correct – an occasional
error (oops!) or omission. |
 |
Although voiceover demos are
generally submitted online, a professionally produced CD impresses the
folks who do the hiring. Demonstrating that you've made the investment
in yourself gives you an edge over your competition. Consider the appearance
of your CD and ask about design and printing options for labels, covers and
tray liners. The better it looks, the more likely someone will
actually listen to it. |
How to Prepare for Your Recording Session Organization and planning can make the difference between pain and
pleasure. For an enjoyable and productive session, follow these simple
suggestions:
- Review your scripts until they’re perfect, then add indications for
pauses, emphasized words, etc.
- Rehearse your material until you can read it smoothly and naturally.
- Bring an extra copy of your script for use
by studio personnel.
- Get a good night’s rest before your session.
- Arrive at the studio a few minutes before your scheduled appointment
time.
- Record re-takes as you go along to control editing time.
- Listen to all playbacks, then direct all editing.
NOTE: Recommended beverage for any type
of vocal work: room temperature spring water with a slice of fresh
lemon.
