My Studio
Clients should feel comfortable about the quality and transparency of a voiceover talent’s home studio. These are pictures of my home studio, its construction, and the features found within in order to give you reassurance of the quality voiceover and vocal recordings I can provide.
Studio Construction
Studio Frame
This was the frame for my studio without any electricity or insulation. It was completely bare and empty, waiting to be transformed into my hub for future voiceover and audio production.
Studio Insulation
This photo was taken during the process of installing Owens-Corning R15 and R30 insulation for the entire studio. All of the walls and ceiling were packed full of it to aid in soundproofing and temperature control. The overall goal for insulating the studio was to keep cold air or heat inside while keeping unwanted noises or sounds outside.
Studio Drywall
The studio was then covered entirely in 1/2 in. thick sheets of drywall covering the installed insulation, providing additional soundproofing from outside noise and solid walls for the studio space. Next, the walls would have to be mudded, taped, sanded, primed, and painted.
Studio Drywall Taping, Mudding & Sanding
After the drywall was installed, it was time for drywall taping, mudding, and sanding. This part was a bit tedious and slow but, in the end, it turned out looking great after a few minor replacements of tape and a few major washes of drywall dust-coated clothes.
Studio Primer
At this stage, the studio was ready to be primed in preparation for painting. All of the walls were cleared of drywall dust and most of it had already been swept up. Now, the studio was finally starting to come together and it was almost time to build the voiceover booth.
Studio Paint
After the priming was finished, paint was added to the ceiling and walls along with the installation of electrical outlet covers. Next, I cleaned the floors of any remaining drywall dust to prepare for the installation of the carpet.
Studio Carpet
In about two hours, the installation of the carpet was complete which not only gives life and color to the studio but also provides additional soundproofing to the floor. This would be used as a base for the construction of my voiceover booth.
Voiceover Booth Frame
Construction for the voiceover booth started shortly after the installation of the carpet. The frame was built using multiple 2x4s and would later be insulated and covered in drywall for additional soundproofing.
Voiceover Booth Drywall and Insulation
Adding Owens-Corning R13 insulation to the voiceover booth with 5/8 in. thick drywall panels on each side of the frame creates a great base for a recording space. Next, it needed drywall mudding, taping, and sanding.
Voiceover Booth Drywall Mudding, Taping, & Sanding
After all of the insulation and drywall panels were installed for the voiceover booth, drywall mud and tape were added and the walls were sanded smoothly.
