In the (Road) Studio: Simple, Clean Voiceover in a Bedroom

I hope my video editing skills do not draw your attention away from the brilliant themes I am bestowing upon the public with this video.  No, that is not the same camera James Cameron used in Avatar.  No, the VO is not Morgan Freeman.  And no, I was not shooting inside the White House, though I understand how all of this can be confused.  Actually this is a just a simple video I made just after doing some imaging VO.  Someone asked me what I take on the road as the final product does sound pretty clean.  Surprisingly clean.  Below find the actual types out specs of what I have here and how I use it.

First, the keys to your surroundings:

• Be in a larger room.  The smaller the more chance for slapback
• Be in a room with lots of cloth-like things ie clothing and padded furniture
• Speak in front of something padded like the back of a rocking chair
• If you only have an echoey mess of a room then cover yourself with a comforter or big thick coat
• Closets can work too I just don’t like trying to work inside them

My Equipment list: 

• Laptop Computer (specs vary on software you want to run)
• Sennheiser 416 Mic
• Mic Stand
• Pro tools
• Mbox Mini
• Waves AudioTrack Plugin
• USB Cable
• Headphones

Bonus:

USB Splitter for your ilok and elicenser etc for production

Now the audio file I cut.  It was just a slogan change for a station I voice.
