Voice over artist and accomplished book narrator, Mary Sarah Agliotta, was about to make a leap of faith. She wanted to move closer to her children, but that meant leaving behind a professional recording studio and facing the challenge of delivering a good sound at an unknown location.
It so happened that she attended the Mid-Atlantic Voice-Over Conference (November 2014) of which VocalBoothToGo.com was a sponsor. Mary Sarah paid close attention to the presentation of the portable Carry-on Vocal Booth, made by VocalBoothToGo.com. She knew her current situation was critical. She just received a book narration contract from a large client and was in the middle of a move. Her work had to be delivered in a short time and be of the highest quality. She was worried about being able to deliver the work without using her tested recording studio, and no time to build a new studio space.

Yet, the reality was far from ideal.
With the holiday season and schools on break, neighbors upstairs were making a lot of noise. Her landlord refused to cooperate and comply with soundproofing requirements. The quality of Mary Sarah’s audio narration work was on-the-line and definitely on her mind. She just received a book narration contract from a large client and was in the middle of a move.
