Summary
Learn directly from Dan Lenard, a 30+ year veteran of professional voice work, recognized industry expert, known as “The Home Studio Master”, who specializes in home voice over studio recording and Vice President of Technical Standards for the World-Voices Organization!
It is becoming the industry standard for voice actors to record their voice tracks, on their own, in their own home or “personal” recording studio to be able to find work. More and more, Agents and Producers are insisting on voice actors recording their own material to audition, and there is a massive amount of non-commercial work available if you can produce it yourself.
There are various recording software options available to you, but figuring out which is best for your style of voice work can be frustrating and time consuming. On top of that, many of the software platforms have their own editing tips and tricks that can be a struggle to figure out on your own. We’ve brought you the home voice over expert to take out the guesswork of home recording so you can learn how to record, edit and deliver your dry voice tracks professionally and start booking more work!
In this exclusive Stage 32 Next Level Webinar, 30-year voice over expert Dan Lenard will personally guide you through how to use simple recording software platforms like Audacity, Twisted Wave and Adobe Audition. Drawing from his 30 years in the voice over business and his expertise in home studio setup, Dan will show you all the necessary steps to creating professional recordings, including setting proper microphone levels, recording your audio, making sure its recorded properly, editing and using any processing or filters. You will leave this webinar confident to start recording on your own immediately!
