The future of audio is too bright. 2011 onwards, India is at the peak of audio work. Voice Artistes are needed for every language and dialect. If you have acquired the skills for voicing, you can do lot of work sitting at home. This is very beneficial for homemakers, people who are not comfortable venturing out and more so for every Voice Artiste, you can record straight sitting out home saving lot of money and time. This means even low budget recordings are bonuses for you where you do not have to spend anything, no travel, no hiring of expensive studios, no bookings, you can be your own boss. How?
 

The 1st thing is the Computer itself

You need PC or Mac, both are suitable for sound processing. Desktop or laptop - that`s your choice. Laptop came in handy, if needed mobile sound recording gear.

 

Recommended minimum requirements:

 2 GHz processor
 3 GB of RAM
 Fast hard drive ( 7200 rpm) with enough free space
 Sufficient power supply for connecting external devices

If the computer is faster and more powerful - that's of use, this gives advantage for processing. Probably, your computer is good enough for getting started with Home Recording. Thereto is necessary existence a USB (or Firewire) connectors, for connecting external devices.

 

Input Device - Sound Card, Microphones & Headphones

For recording vocals, we need a sound card, whether external or internal. A sound card is more capable than your existing sound processor on your motherboard. You need to connect your microphone to the sound card and it gets connected to your PC or Laptop by USB. The famous one is M-audio Fastrack. Selecting the Right Microphone and positioning it in the correct place, is important to get requested sound recording result. There are many good microphones available in the market like Shure SM58, Sennheiser e845, SHure SM 57 for home set ups

 
Audio Interface or Sound Card- Many External SOUnd Cards are available, mono channnel, 2 channel or 4 channels or more. 2 channels means you can connect 2 microphoes simultaneosly. These days sound cards of brands, Focusrite, M-Audio, Presonus, are quite popular for home set ups.
 
For Headphones you can buy Sennheiser HD 180 or HD 201. These are closed ear headphones, that is they cover your entire ear and are oval in shape as our ears are. You may also need microphone stand and a pop filter which will filter out your aspirated words like Ps or Bs. To hold on the microphone you also need a microphone stand of 5 feet height.
 

A Noise free space
You may need a noise free area, where there is no noise and the sound does not reverb or echo. Easy. Cheap and economical solution is to get a cubicle booth made with sound absorption material.

 
We are always with the aspiring Voice Talent in every aspect mentioned above. Hope to bring smile on your face, always.
