Did you know you can hire out my studio?
When I’m not using it obviously!
However, nobody can record for hours at a time – the vocal folds get fatigued, and the voice starts to sound tired, so I’m certainly not using it all day every day.
So, who might benefit from using a professional recording studio? Well, anyone who wants to create excellent quality audio files, but primarily I’m thinking of people like hypnotherapists, life coaches, and NLP practitioners who might be creating guided meditations and the like for their clients.
I’ve had a couple of hypnotherapists use my studio recently to do just this. They came to record generic meditations to share with their clients, but they are talking about coming back to record bespoke tracks for specific clients.
I’ve also had a few authors come in to record their audio books. Two of these were children’s books which were short and recorded in one session, but one was a longer non-fiction book. This took several months to complete over a few 1-2 hour sessions. Obviously the longer a project is, the trickier it can be to find the time to fit it in.
Finally, I’ve had local actor Thomas Turgoose come in to record some TV and radio adverts. This came about when he couldn’t get to London due to train strikes, so the production company he was working with hired my studio instead. They were so pleased with the results that Tom came back several times to record different adverts for the campaign!
Most therapists probably record themselves at home on their computers or phones. This can be OK, but without an acoustically treated studio to record in, it’s very difficult to keep out unwanted extraneous noises – traffic passing, kids playing etc. This then impacts the person listening as they will likely find these noises distracting – and then they don’t get the full benefit of the meditation…
Booking my studio will ensure that the end users of the audio tracks get the best possible outcome from using them – and ensure that all the practitioner’s hard work doesn’t go to waste!
I’m always on hand to help with the equipment, and whoever uses my studio will go away with good quality audio that they can then edit at home – or I can do this bit as well for an extra fee.
