Finally finished the booth!

After a crazy couple of years, having a baby, losing my job (was a TV editor then the industry collapsed and everyone is out of work! ), I needed to find a source of income and albeit risky, decided to go full steam ahead into voice acting. I’ve been lucky I can apply my technical skills to the recording and editing process which has been the easier part but with no building experience the building of the booth and finding work has been tough. I started end of last summer and have booked a couple of big name brands and a fair few smaller ones. Hoping to get an agent soon. I wanted to share this as I feel proud in what I’ve accomplished, however small, and show that you can do it if you give it your all.

Oh and amongst all the faff of building this booth, the sound is amazing but I can STILL hear bassy footsteps from upstairs (I live in an old building) 😩 Don’t think there’s anything else I can do, I have foam bass traps but doubt they do anything tbh. The footsteps are infrequent but very annoying. How should I deal with this during a live recording? I can easily edit them out with no compromise to the original audio as the dcb’s are much lower than my voice? I guess lots of people must have a bit of general noise? Do you tell the client or just deal with it?

Thanks and happy auditioning :)
