Portable vocal booths have become a necessary equipment in a voice actor’s tool box . . . especially when they travel a lot. However, these handy vocal booths recently have become a career lifesaver for voice over pros who have been hospitalized long-term but still able to record.
VocalBoothToGo.com, a manufacturer and designer of vocal booths and other acoustic and soundproofing equipment, recently found that its own portable vocal booth was used in a hospital by a seasoned voice actress.
Voice actress Randye Kaye unfortunately was recovering from an illness at a hospital but still wanted to continue to work. So…she brought along her own Carry-on Vocal Booth to help her complete projects.
”My clients were very happy with sound quality even from a hospital room! Excellent product,” she said.
The Carry-on Vocal Booth Pro is a portable unit that folds into a carrying-bag. Constructed from sound absorbing blankets, this portable vocal booth has been proven to be excellent provider for acoustic treatment on-the-go. Recently tested in a hotel room when a voice actor needed to record on-deadline, this tool was able to deliver a professional sound for the voice actor without reflection or echo.
“We needed something convenient, portable, and quick to set up in a hotel room to reduce echo and noise while recording a voice over talent for a last-minute job,” said George Whittam, Director and Founder of Technology of VOStudioTech.com, a division of EDGE Studio, and a co-founder of EWAB podcast — experts in home vocal booths and recording studios. ”We found it [the Carry-on Vocal Booth] large enough to easily position the mic and a laptop inside, yet easy to transport and quick to assemble. It will work great for voice actors without the space to set up a proper booth, given their existing environment is quiet enough. ”
Whether in a hotel room or a hospital space or anywhere, the Carry-on Vocal Booth is equipment that has rescued many voice actors and provided the professional sound that they need — and what their clients demand.
