So
you’ve decided to invest in a vocal booth for professional quality sound
recordings? Excellent decision! Not only do vocal or voice over booths provide
a private space to make recordings that are not compromised by extraneous
elements, they can also help improve the sound quality of recordings. Here are
some factors to keep in mind to obtain best outcomes.
Voice-Over Booth Size
Vocal
or voice over booths are available in various sizes and configurations starting
from 1200mm x 1200mm. Most voice over booths are designed to accommodate one or
two people. While selecting the size of a voice over booth, keep in mind
various aspects such as ceiling height, space available and user comfort. If
possible, create a mock-up space to determine the size of the booth you’ll
need.
Acoustic Treatment and Products
While
the basic function of vocal booths is to prevent unwanted sounds from getting
into recordings, they also help create a good sound recording space for
different types of recordings. For example, the acoustic requirements of a
voice-over artist recording an audio book vary vastly from the acoustic
requirements of an educator or musician recording vocals. The best
manufacturers use expert knowledge to help match your requirements with the
right acoustic treatment and products such as fabric acoustic panels or foam
acoustic panels.
Openings, Ventilation,
Electricals
Other
factors to keep in mind that could easily skip your mind include door opening,
window placement, ventilation, lighting, electrical points, port panel
placement. These aspects might seem minor but can make a huge difference to
getting best long-term performance. For example, a properly placed makes way
for easier communication with people outside the door. Quiet and active
ventilation prevents the interiors from becoming too warm and keeps the
interiors fresh. Electrical points and a USB port are necessary to prevent
unnecessary interruptions.
Vocal booths can be
tailor-made to your specific requirements, so don’t hesitate to consult a
designer to ensure the perfect fit.
