We were guests on Season 4, Episode 6 of The Off Air Podcast – titled Just Bee You. We covered a lot of ground: branding, home studios, website and SEO, and why the best strategy is the one you’ll actually stick to. Grab a brew – it’s a long one.
Ideas to maximise your voiceover downtime with essential studio maintenance tasks.
Tired of conflicting voiceover equipment advice? Why the best mic, audio interface, and DAW for your home studio isn’t about specs – it’s what works for YOU.
I’ve visited lots of voiceover studios and helped troubleshoot hundreds more remotely. Here are a few things that still make me inwardly groan.
Noise floors are like council tax bills. We all have one, and we’d all like it to be lower. This is a blog about shaving a few dB off your noise floor.
Rob documents his latest Studio Tickling Tour so you can all see what goes on backstage.
Noise reduction plug-in comparisons for voice work. These are very powerful tools but I do not advocate using them daily.
Part 2 of 2 blogs where I explain what compression is and why it’s so important.
Compression is a topic that confuses many and strikes fear into the hearts of many. Yet people like me insist on banging on about how important it is, and insisting that voice overs should at least try to get their heads around the topic. So in this first blog of 2, I’m going to explain what compression is and why it’s so important.

Setting up a studio with limited time, limited resources and in a time of limited public access needn’t limit your options. Here’s how…
In February Rob did a Studio Tickling Tour. For those of you who wonder what that entails, you’re in luck. Read on Macduff!
January 2020 has been and gone. I may be wrong about this, but I thought it may be slightly interesting to have a revue of the month and let you know what we’ve been up to.
We need to spend money on recording equipment to do our jobs, and we need to spend money on acoustic treatment to make sure our recordings sound professional. But if we don’t spend time (and money) personalising our spaces to make them our own have we wasted the money we’ve spent?
As a voiceover you’ll be rejected for jobs virtually every day of your working lives. Although this is a reality you want to be doing everything you can to minimise it. To that end you’ve taken courses and hired voiceover coaches, and you’ve spent far too much on the best equipment you couldn’t afford. But have you tuned your recording space?
Rob was interviewed by Mike Russell from Music Radio Creative in a podcast celebrating 25 years of Adobe Audition about his background in sound engineering
