Ep 012- A Session With Neil Degrasse Tyson

Voice Recording Bootcamp

The day before this episode, Deb had just finished a voice session with Neil Degrasse Tyson, for season 3 of the Nova television show. We debrief about the session, discussing both the performance/art and the technical aspects of doing a remotely directed session using Source-Connect.

We take our microphones down the hall to Signature Sound Studios, where our engineer buddy Christian Cummings weighs in on his view of the session as honorary second engineer (okay, he just really wanted to be there in the room to soak up the smart stuff). Still on our caffeine jag, we talk about Scott's radio show and podcasting adventures, the importance of momentum, and how our pro friends are REALLY getting voice over jobs. And all this from our wonderful front office, from which we can actually see daylight.

Recorded with two Shure SM58 mics on a Zoom H5 recorder, instead of the Neumann U87s that we usually use in the (windowless) studio. Let us know what you think! Cheers,

Deb and Scott
