ABSTRACT
Since the mid 1990s the business of voiceover has gone through a series of major changes, both in terms of how the business works and in the technology used for recording voice tracks. Recording equipment was bulky, complicated to operate, and very expensive. It used to be that the home studio was relegated to only the serious audiophile or professional musician. At one time, virtually all voiceover work was recorded either at a traditional recording studio, at a radio or television station, or a professional production facility. Many talent buyers work from the assumption that booking a voice actor who records from their home studio will be “cheaper” than recording the same actor in a conventional recording studio. An Internet search for “home recording” will reveal many excellent books and websites that thoroughly discuss the subject of building a home studio.
