Audio Book Publisher Gives Recording Using the Carry-On Vocal Booth a BIG Thumbs-Up

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.

New Space – New Problems

Having a deep understanding of the technical side of voice over work, she knew that taking care of soundproofing and/or acoustic treatment of her new space was imperative to continue on with her work, so she made sure to include in the rental agreement that the apartment must be able to be soundproofed. 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. 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.

Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets Resolve Recording Issues for U.S. Soldiers’ Podcasting Studio

VocalBoothToGo.com is working together with Operation Soldier Assist in creating an audio recording studio with proper acoustic room treatment with the help of Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets.  Operation Soldier Assist (OSA), a nonprofit U.S. military troop-support organization, supplies tactical gear and care packages to deployed personnel throughout the world. The organization recently initiated a podcasting project to create audio cds to ship to soldiers serving in the U.S. military.  The recording studio would also be utilized to create personal voice and even musical recordings from individual soldier’s families to their loved ones in the military.

VocalBoothToGo.com donated Producer’s Choice acoustic blankets to OSA so they could create a recording studio for U.S. soldiers and their families.

Because OSA’s recording studio was very reflective and the quality of the recordings were poor, OSA contacted VocalBoothToGo.com for recommendations on ways to cut down on reverberation in the studio. Their studio included concrete flooring, a drop ceiling and mirrors on the walls in the room. Due to the lack of acoustic treatment in their studio space, OSA’s recordings were negatively impacted by echoes. What they needed was to solve their acoustical issue with Producer’s Choice blankets.

In supporting their mission, VocalBoothToGo.com donated OSA their largest Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets for acoustic room treatment. These are the best performing blankets currently available, and OSA’s reverberation problem was resolved immediately.

“I want to tell you that your Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets work superbly. What a great enhancement to our podcasting studio,” Blaine, the founder of the nonprofit told VocalBoothToGo. “We have a clean, clear, sharp sound while recording. You are helping our efforts to encourage our troops”!

He also happily noted that the studio also looked professional. A double bonus.

VocalBoothToGo.com’s line of Producer’s Choice Acoustic Blankets for acoustic room treatment are filled with sound absorptive recycled cotton fibers with the outer material made from cotton-mix fabric. These soft, thick blankets are specifically designed for acoustical room treatment, unlike moving blankets, and can be also installed with grommets.
