Very few of us can design and build a proper studio from scratch, but we can make the best of the spaces we have available to us, whether that’s a closet or a full sized room, and make it sound decent. Using his own experience building two sound rooms in his house, Mike will provide an understanding of basic building with acoustic needs and microphones in mind, but primarily the confidence to undertake a re-model of any space available, and dealing with that space as best you can.
The sessions on Building a Home Voiceover Studio break more or less in two parts nicely, and spring from the construction of a small basement booth, and a much larger, complete gut-and-build of an attic room. The first session deals with trying to isolate the space, keeping sound out via acoustic decoupling and mass, and involves the complete gut-to-the-studs of the room, with a re-build involving a new electrical system, double door entry, entirely new floor and the design and build of a window pocket wall, custom made sashes included. Materials needed will be addressed, and lessons learned from mistakes made – more than a few – will be shared. Mike has produced a Youtube series on the building of this larger studio, and it may act as a primer of sorts: @michaelbaer voiceover
