Voiceover Essentials with Jim Edgar (Part 2) – Advanced Techniques and Troubleshooting


Listen Later

In Part 2 of our interview with Jim Edgar on The Pro Audio Suite, we dig even deeper into the world of voiceover setups. Jim walks us through the iterative process of improving your recording space, explains why foam might not be the best solution for sound treatment, and provides expert troubleshooting tips for common voiceover issues like mic placement, echo, and hollow sound.

We also cover the importance of sound engineers and agents being involved in quality control and how to continually refine your space to stay competitive in the industry. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting, there are invaluable takeaways in this episode!
