- You've hired some great voice-actors,
but how and where will you record them?
If you have good recording equipment and a quiet room,
you can record 'em with your home or office.
Many professional voice-actors have their own
expensive recording suite, so you can actually
direct them over the phone or Skype.
Be sure you watch the video in this course
on long-distance voice recording.
Once again, Google search is your friend.
But if you wanted a more detailed search, you can start
by asking your production friends to recommend
a good recording studio in your area.
You can also check with your local film commission office
or their online website.
Now, personally, I like to use productionhub.com.
There, you can find local studios,
as well as studios in other cities,
in case your voice talent lives in another town.
This often happens when you need to record famous talent,
or you live in a place with very few voice-actors.
Now, let's take a quick look at finding a studio
on Production Hub.
At productionhub.com, I can either look for crew members
or search for work.
Obviously, I want to find crew members,
but let's go here to the dropdown, take a look at that
and the different options here.
So I'm going to click on browse profiles,
and I'm going to look for a recording studio.
So it's going to come up, and if I scroll down on this page,
I'll see a whole lot of different vendor options.
I don't want to look through all that, 'cause that's a lot
to go through, so I'm just going to come in here and I'm going to
start typing in, recording studio, and I actually
don't have to finish it, it starts matching
how many categories right below.
So I'll click on that.
And here's a large list of recording studios,
but I want to narrow it down.
Let's narrow it down to 32835,
the area code I'm currently in.
I'll hit enter.
And now, you see over here, all these are in Orlando
and surrounding areas.
So I can click on any one of 'em.
LHV, that's right.
I'm friends with the owner.
Gives me some information.
I could scroll down, read more about them,
and if I click on contact and call,
there's their information, and I can call them that quickly
or go straight to the website.
So you can see how quick it is to be able to find
a huge amount of options for any thing that you want,
including, in our case, looking for recording stuidos
on productionhub.com.
You could also search for post houses or edit suites.
Many of them will also have great
recording booths or stages.
Another option could be working with a college
that has a good film program.
Valencia College in Orlando is a good example.
It has a great 7.1 Dolby recording studio,
and while the rates will likely be less than professional
studios, which is a good thing, just a word of warning,
scheduling can be an issue, and there's no guarantee
that you'll have a seasoned talent running the suite.
So, by asking friends and using the web,
you'll find a great recording studio wherever you need one
in just a few minutes.
