Digital News: Recording Voiceovers

We had a spare half an hour at the studios, so Nisserin and I decided to record the voice overs for our digital news production.

RECORDING VOICE OVERS

Unfortunately, the sound recording setup in production room 2 wasn't functioning properly so we quickly booked at a Zoom H4N from Ferg and wired the Rode Mic up to it. We only needed to record the voice overs for Katie's X Factor style intro, for the Meme Of The Week graphic, and for our promo trailer.

Once Nisserin had set everything up, we got the script out and began to record the voice overs. For Katie's intro, we wanted to record one serious introduction, and one silly introduction so we had a choice in the final edit. We recorded the intro a few times in a few different ways and then we moved on to the next voice over.

For the next voice over, we wanted to record me saying "Meme Of The Week", for our meme of the week segment. Same as with the intro voice over, we recorded a few serious and a few silly ones so we had a choice. And finally, we recorded the voice over for our promo. As our promo has a 1950s advert style to it, I did the voice over using my best 1950s salesman impression.

Overall we were happy with the final voice overs, and we were glad we decided to use this spare time to do them.
