If you spend any time behind a microphone (and I know you do), you’ve probably heard the tip: “Don’t worry about your recording levels being low — you can just normalize later!” This often comes up with regards to lowering the audible noise level when recording. I get it — it sounds like an easy fix. But today I want to chat with you about why starting with low levels and relying on normalization can actually hurt your sound — and what to do instead.

You became a voice actor because you love telling stories, creating characters, and bringing scripts to life. But wouldn’t it be amazing if you could really understand what clients are thinking when they’re casting? Most voice actors only ever see one part of the process: the audition. You get the spec, you send your best take — and then? Silence. You're trying to hit a moving target! That’s why I created a special class just for you: This Side of the Glass

iLok keeps your voiceover software & plugins secure, letting you work anywhere without losing access. Essential for pro voice actors!

Here's a breakdown of how I was able to use iZotope's RX Music Rebalance to transform mono concert audio to a 5.1 mix.

Mac users have been able to put their computers to sleep since 2005. However, in the audio world sleep mode could create problems!

The sample rate you choose for recording matters. So when should you change it? Why does it matter? And what IS sample rate anyway?

I will say with certainty that there is nothing better than in-person talent and clients. Sonically. Creatively. Socially. Definitively.

An expansion dock may be important for your audio rig to accommodate everything from ethernet and USB to HDMI. So what works for you?

For voice actors who do the kind of work that needs to deliver finished audio, Izotope's RX Elements bundle helps get the job done!
