Voice Over Recording
At Alchemix Biz - we have created special techniques for flawless voice-over recording.
Having recorded month after month, navigation system voice-over's, lecture scripts, radio commercials and many other projects,
has help us to create and fine tune procedures - strategies and equipments for the ultimate voice-over recording.
To the lay person, recording an announcer or "voice-over" artist would seem to be relatively simple compared to music recordings, but far from it, it's a creative/technical task not to be taken lightly.
Speech sounds are harmonically and dynamically complicated, because of the way vocals are produced-by the chest; lungs; diaphragm; larynx; the oral cavity, including the tongue, hard and soft palates, the teeth and lips, the nasal cavities; and by the dynamic interaction of all those elements through time.
Explosions of air bursting from the mouth, the lips and tongue can sound wet, and "sss" sounds can over modulate a track.
The engineer has to have a keen ear, a good technical understanding of how to capture the voice cleanly and special techniques of how to suppress hard sounds such as P and T, and to direct the voice over artist to stay a consistent distance and angle from the business end of the microphone.
What are the defining characteristics of a good voice-over recording?
