worked on my improvised home-recording setup, practiced more commercial scripts #stolenvoice

crafted the new recording environment with new (awesome!!!) gear: Sennheiser MKH 416, Pop audio pop filter, Shock mount by Rycote holding the mic (whereas the shock mount is attached to a Manfrotto tripod) and Focusrite 2i2 mixer. Best recording quality I ever had. Now, only my delivery can suck or better don't 😛 - oh happy day ^^ #stolenvoice

learned a bit more on mic selection and created my preliminary shopping list for home-studio recording gear - takes soo much time (cos me = relatively bad decision maker) - will purchase in a few days and try it all out - AND: learned a few tricks on how to record on the road traveling - SUPER EXCITING and if it works it would be a bit of DREAM COME TRUE :) #stolenvoice

installed and tried Audacity in my recording studio to make progress with my commercial demo reel (recorded studiolist script and compressed and normalized it, send it out to review the performance and quality) #stolenvoice

bought my new audio gear #stolenvoice

long training session today in a new setup with better acoustic treatment (way better sound quality) - will try to improve it step by step #stolenvoice

Setup very professional recording studio for voiceovers #life

learned/refreshed my knowledge on setting up my home-recording studio, choosing the rigth mic (also for travel) and picking the right software. Current choice: Sennheiser MK4 (home mic) and MKH 416 (travel mic). In terms of software: Reaper or Studio One #stolenvoice

revamped my studio with more acoustic foam inside the cupboard and made the work surface in the studio plain. Also fixed the blanket so now they're all the time at a fixed location. Makes a quick recording more straight forward. #hip

after a day off because feeling sick-ish and slight ear-pain I had an extended session today (but focussing only on style of delivery to perfect it) with a new recording setup: Sennheiser MKH 416, Pop audio pop filter, Shock mount by Rycote and Focusrite 2i2 mixer - is another level. Also I gave my recording environment a bit more room while still treating it with acoustic foam. #mictime #stolenvoice

rehearse-recorded the Studio List script and realized that my new recording setup has too much room echo. So, gotta have to work on reducing the noise before I can make proper recordings for the reel. Also abandoned Reaper as my DAW/recording software (it’s just a PITA to use it for me) and choose PreSonus Studio One Prime instead #stolenvoice

another revision of the studiolist script recording for my commercial demo reel #stolenvoice

spent a full work day finishing the course on my home-recording studio setup, starting the drip on the home studio, started and completed the course on improving my casting chances, and practiced the one commercial radio script that I want to home-run to perfection #stolenvoice

re-iterated on my recording studio by adding more foam overall - didn't take as long as I thought it would. The recordings sound good. I'm not hearing a space echo anymore. Only my performance is a bit weak due to allergy. Will give it a meal break and continue later to see whether I can push to a more healthy voice #stolenvoice

Finished the recording studio setup

continued voiceover course (cabling, audio interfaces, hardware, recordings software) #stolenvoice

practiced the commercial script ("All The Towers" theme park) and liked some aspects of my performance, but not everything, especially that clipping occured. Can't wait for my new mic + mixer to arrive so I can regulate the gain level better. #mictime #stolenvoice

another extensive recording session on the mic recording a commercial script and my first reading-out loud session to start developing my hybrid voice (hybrid because I want to unite my writing and speaking voice to one) #stolenvoice #mictime

make v1 of my very own studio #life

another iteration for the recording of script 1/7 of my commercial demo reel, awaiting the feedback on the artistic performance level and the technical audio quality - making little progress while having fun in the studio imitating monkey because heck the script is about jungle and rainforest *haha* #stolenvoice
