VOICE OVER RECORDING STUDIO: MUCH MORE THAN A 'HOME STUDIO'
My recording studio is not a 'home studio'. I have been a professional French voice actor since 1994 and I'm known in the industry for being a bit of a perfectionist. When I had my studio built, I wanted a sound that was obviously reverb-free and neutral, but also lively, matt without being muffled - in short, a tough brief. It was designed and built professionally, with just the right amount of absorption but also diffusion and reflection.
It is equipped to offer the best possible sound quality. Both the booth and the control room are soundproofed and have received dedicated acoustic treatment. The booth produces the sound I had dreamed of, with the added bonus of an exceptionally low floor noise of -80dB rms, a level of silence rarely achieved even by excellent commercial studios.
The booth measures 4.10m L x 2.60m W x 2.75m H and the control room measures 4.10m L x 6.50m W x 2.75m H. My studio has the same equipment found in the best commercial post-production studios:
- micros: Neumann U87, Sennheiser MKH 416, CAD Equitek E100 1st Edition for vintage sound
- preamp: Avalon VT-737SP
- interface: SSL
- DAW (recording software): Pro Tools
- computer: iMac
- midfield monitors: PMC tb2S+
- proximity monitors: Fostex
- monitor preamplification: Bryston
It's a recording studio that meets the most demanding professional standards: most of the TV & web spots, network imaging, corporate films and industrial videos, motion design and e-learning, documentaries, audio books, audio guides and voice overs in English I work on are recorded in my studio. Of course, I travel to the commercial studio when necessary, particularly for the video games for which face-to-face interaction between voice actor and voice director is often essential.
The session can be monitored and managed remotely using Source Connect Standard, Source-Nexus, Cleanfeed and Session Link Pro, with images synchronised with sound shared in real time both during recording and playback via Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.
This is a 1mn audio presentation of my studio demonstrating its sound. It is a 24bit/48kHz WAV file, dry, raw, not cleaned and not treated in any way (no EQ, no compression or anything else)
A warm and extremely versatile voice which is a pleasure to record. Whether in the studio with you or working remotely, Pierre is a pleasure to work with. His understanding of our needs and his technical skills also make him an invaluable asset to any recording session
Stewart Barnes, Sound Engineer and Owner, GuiltFreePost
Great studio Pierre! But to be honest you would sound great on a tin can and a piece of string
Michael Powell, Head of Sound, Prodigious Worldwide
As a sound engineer working in a high-end London facility, I’m also really impressed with the quality of voice recordings produced by his own studio.
Iain Grant, Sound Engineer, WAM London (ex-Triangle)
His ability to record, edit and clean up the takes directly from his own facility with a sound worthy of the best Soho studios, giving us the welcomed option to remotely live-produce the session, saved us so much time. I can't wait to work with him again
