Sound Studio in/near Lichfield for Voice-Over

[paulears]

A good friend of mine needs to get a voice-over done at a studio close to Lichfield - as the artiste is on a rigid schedule, he can't travel too far.

 

My contacts so far have brought up a few rock-style studios, but we're looking for somewhere suitable for speech.

 

Any recommendations, or even just speculation would be useful as time is running out.

 

Thanks

Paul

Tried local radio or even hospital radio groups?

Arch Recordings in Burton. 12 miles - http://www.archrecordings.co.uk Call Steve.

 

Or the Lichfield Garrick, has recording facilities I believe. http://www.blue-room.org.uk/index.php?showuser=6866

I've had a look at these links, thanks - I can't yet find somewhere that specialises in spoken word, these places tend to be more suited to music recording and we're looking for something along these line - the radio idea may well pan out, cheers!

... as the artiste is on a rigid schedule

Lateral suggestion - can he change artiste?

 

For voiceovers I use voice123.com, and the artistes on there do what you want and send you the result as a file, severe reduction in hassle. They have their own adequately equipped studios. Many also have ISDN or internet so you can direct in real time, but I've not tried that.

 

Many voices are surprising economical, I've had good voiceovers done for non-profit theatre for $20.

Paul, it depends exactly on what you need to achieve, but we a have small sound-proof(ish) room in which we have a computer, mackie 16-channel mixer, an m-audio delta 1010 and adobe audition. Unfortunately I'm off for a few weeks, so I can't personally help, but contact the TM (address on website- www.lichfieldgarrick.com) and she can put you in contact with our sound chappy! Tell her Ian said to ring!
