Words
 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.
 |
For a video production, the audio is every bit as
important as the images you work so hard to create. The knowledge,
skills and experience available to you here will help to ensure that
your final production pleases your target audience.
|
|
|
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 someone who wants what you do.

Included with Your Recording Session

A
recording engineer with 40 years of experience in professional voiceover
work, 43 years in professional audio – and 15 years as a professional

understood, and occasional rare script errors may be detected before
they’re recorded. Competent direction may also be provided if required.
|

An 8-track digital recording system combining
Macintosh, Mackie and ProTools, expandable to 24 tracks. The benefit of

additions and revisions.

Fine Points
|
|
Bring two copies of your script to
your session, one for the recording engineer. Having a second set of
eyeballs perusing your pages can uncover – and correct – an occasional
error or omission. |
|
|
Consider the appearance of the final
product and ask about design and printing options for labels, covers and
tray liners. The better your CD 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.
- Prepare extra copies 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.
