HOW DO I REQUEST AND BOOK A SESSION?

Super simple.  To set up a session time, please call or email us with your session request and a studio engineer will contact you at their earliest convenience. Once you have spoken with an engineer to confirm availability, you can fill out the ADR/VO Recording Studio Form as well as any miscellaneous details in the “Notes“ section. Once you select “Submit” you’ll be prompted for payment. When payment is confirmed, your session is booked. 🎉

 

Can I fill out the submission form instead of speaking to someone?

Yes. If you know how much time you need for the session, we have several options to choose from. An engineer will follow up via email or phone call to confirm the details of your session, or if a scheduling conflict arises.  A phone call will give us a chance to briefly visit about the project details, but we understand tight deadlines and know that our engineers will be able to take care of you no matter the circumstance.

How much do you charge for a session?

All of our studio rates and prices are located on the ADR/VO Recording Studio Form.

What IF I only have one line I need to retake?

Our minimum session time is 1 hour, so you will need to select the Short Session option.  During your session, you are free to take as many or as few takes as needed within the allotted session time.

Do you have Source-Connect or Zoom?

Yes, we have both. You can book a Source-Connect Session using the “Half Day with Source Connect” option at checkout. Zoom patch-thru is complimentary for all sessions. This helps the talent, director and producers see and communicate with each other, and maximizes efficiency in remote-recording sessions.

I scheduled a session that I can no longer make.  What should I do?

No worries.  If you reach out to a member of our staff, we will be happy to help move availability times around to help accommodate your situation.

What DOES THE STUDIO LOOK LIKE?

We could talk all day about our state of the art Isolated Vocal Booth, but we thought it would be easier to show you what it looks like from a distance.
