 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 at King Street Recording 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. You can even arrive with
nothing but an idea – and leave with a complete audio track.
 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, 40 years in professional audio – and 15 years as a professional
business writer. The purpose of your project will be thoroughly
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 multiple tracks is the
capacity to make revisions without losing anything already completed.
|
|
|
Long-term storage of original sessions allows you to return several months
later to make revisions because your original session remains untouched
and available. |

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.
