buy fancy new audio gear

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

built (improvised) my 1st home-recording studio: it's the classic wardrobe that I find the best solution for now. Audio test still to be done #stolenvoice

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

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

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

wrote how I chose my voiceover software for recording and editing my voice - draft for #stolenvoice blog

digitally connected with people I met at the voiceover conference #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

began editing the video+audio of the last 4 days at the voiceover conference in London #stolenvoice

attended the OneVoice voiceover conference in the last 4 days #stolenvoice

finished the advanced VO course (doing post-production, working with directors, client-work remotely, physical and vocal health) #stolenvoice

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

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

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

began a singing course (did the first 8 modules) to discover my voice even more #stolenvoice

finished the Advanced Voiceover to Pro Standard course #stolenvoice

Thursday confession what I got done in my voiceover biz #stolenvoice

got an overview of the postproduction process (bit of a repition like - EQ - Compression - Normalisation - De-Essing - Limiting - Insert Effects - Send & Return Effects but that's ok); started the advanced voiceover course to get from my intermediate level to a pro level which included today: to warm up nicely and full-body, going to extremes (ultra low pitch, ultra high pitch, mixture of both and going over the top with a caricature performance) - my voice felt like the strings of a guitar today when I practiced #stolenvoice
