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

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:

  1. Review your scripts until they’re perfect, then add indications for pauses, emphasized words, etc.
  2. Rehearse your material until you can read it smoothly and naturally.
  3. Prepare extra copies for use by studio personnel.
  4. Get a good night’s rest before your session.
  5. Arrive at the studio a few minutes before your scheduled appointment time.
  6. Record re-takes as you go along to control editing time.
  7. 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.
