#RecordingInAHomestudio

I remember when recording yourself on a cassette recorder was the best thing to happen since sliced bread. All you needed was a recorder and time. Sure, the quality was poor, but you weren’t professional so that didn’t matter. As time progressed though, home recording got better, and now you are able to own your own studio. How great is that? For those who are taking this opportunity seriously that sounds great, but sadly, there are some who aren’t serious enough to learn even the basic things. And because of that, home studios don’t get the credit they deserve. How do you know who to take seriously and what do you look for in a home studio? Well…. I’m glad you asked. Ask the engineer how long have they been doing this. Do they have a website or page where you can observe their work. If not, ask them if they have any recordings for you to listen to. This will allow you to judge their quality and professionalism. I understand that it may not have the wow factor or bling like other studios, but with all the plugins being developed, a computer and a good mike and mic pre is basically all that’s needed. Sure you should know about soundproofing or someone who does to block out outside noise and reflection and refracting waves, but other than that, you have a working studio. My suggestion to you, if you’re searching for one, do your research. It will save you time and money.

#Passion

Nothing should ever hinder you from being the best you that you can be. The things that motivate you to get up are the things you should be doing. If all you think about doing is keeping you from sleeping at night, then that’s what you should be doing. If when you see someone else doing the things that you want to do, then you should be doing it! These things mentioned in this blog are written for you, to encourage you, and motivate you to follow your passion. Nobody else can make you feel as if you’ve accomplished your dreams.

#HardChoices

How many of you spent thousands of dollars on your education so that you could know the reason why you were curiously opening your appliances and radios and motor operated gadgets? When you found out, were you excited to begin fixing stuff for other people? Or maybe you decided to work for a company that allows you to expand your knowledge and develop your skills so that you can make big money. You may have also said to yourself, I’m gonna open my own studio and create the music I love. Did you ever think about how many choices there were with the degree you’ve acquired? Do you know how much you are worth? If you haven’t done any research on the choices you have, you’re hurting yourself, and cheating on the thousands of dollars spent so that you could be successful. Instead of hard choices, let’s make better choices.

#Storylines

Got a project you want to pitch? Many do, but is it enticing enough for someone to want to put it into film? What may help you is a good storyline. Storylines give the reader an opportunity to visualize the direction of the story that you are trying to convey. If the storyline is good, then the possibility of the play, script, or book might be worth the chance of a lifetime. Take your time and do it right. If it takes a while, then make sure that the time is well spent. Get it right the first time and maybe you won’t have to learn from possible mistakes in the future.

#Voiceover

Has anyone of you ever looked into doing voiceovers? Do you need to have a voice that can imitate some of the most famous people in film? How much can you clear per job? These types of questions can be answered here. Usually, voiceover artists are paid per job. They can make anywhere from $20 to a couple hundred dollars for just an hour of work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, though, radio and television announcers made an average salary of $35,360 in 2017 and actors made roughly $17.50 per hour.https://www.voices.com/help/beginners-guide-to-voice-acting/making-money-doing-voice-overs
