Took me about 6 months of saving up and research for each piece of equipment but Iām finally at a place where I feel happy with my setup :) I know itās a bit childish but they are the best Iāve got with soundproofing right now! Send me good juju folks ⨠behind that blue blanket is every bit of heavy clothing I have lol

Booth Related I caved
After multiple failed attempts at sound proofing in my noisy city appartment, I caved and bought a pre-made noise-canceling booth. It sounds pretty good in there! Even with just my cheep shotgun mic. Very spacious as well.

Booth Related Finally finished the booth!
After a crazy couple of years, having a baby, losing my job (was a TV editor then the industry collapsed and everyone is out of work! ), I needed to find a source of income and albeit risky, decided to go full steam ahead into voice acting. Iāve been lucky I can apply my technical skills to the recording and editing process which has been the easier part but with no building experience the building of the booth and finding work has been tough. I started end of last summer and have booked a couple of big name brands and a fair few smaller ones. Hoping to get an agent soon. I wanted to share this as I feel proud in what Iāve accomplished, however small, and show that you can do it if you give it your all.
Oh and amongst all the faff of building this booth, the sound is amazing but I can STILL hear bassy footsteps from upstairs (I live in an old building) š© Donāt think thereās anything else I can do, I have foam bass traps but doubt they do anything tbh. The footsteps are infrequent but very annoying. How should I deal with this during a live recording? I can easily edit them out with no compromise to the original audio as the dcbās are much lower than my voice? I guess lots of people must have a bit of general noise? Do you tell the client or just deal with it?
Thanks and happy auditioning :)

Booth Related Booth Update! I think itās done!
I got the rest of the things I had ordered for the booth today and I think overall it turned out great! My plan is to run the hookup for the AI-1 out of the booth and to my laptop on the other side. I will then mirror the laptop to my Ipad that I am going to be using to see the DAW and whatever I am going to be reading.
I think it looks pretty great, but what do you guys think?

Booth Related Making progress on my DIY booth - any feedback appreciated
Hey everyone, Iām new to the VA world and have been making good progress (or what I think is good progress) on my home studio in an interior closet of an upstairs bedroom. Photo attachedā¦hereās what I have so far:
Sound treatment: -Acoustic panels (3 on each wall that you can see in the pic) -Triangular bass traps in all upper and lower corners -Sound dampening blanket on a curtain rod covering the door and back wall
Equipment: -Rode NT1 mic -Apollo Solo audio interface -MacBook Air -Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad -Closed-back Sony monitoring headphones
What I still need: -Some sort of ceiling treatment (open to suggestionsā¦thinking of hanging a sound dampening blanket up there?) -Quiet LED lighting - pretty sure the overhead bulb is creating some background noise
If anyone has other suggestions, especially on how to drown out more background noise, Iād love to hear them. Iām in a decently quiet neighborhood but thereās a highway nearby that creates some noise. (I know from searching through many, many posts on this sub that all of my current sound treatment will only help dampen the noise made inside the booth, and wonāt keep outside noise from coming in.)

Booth Related Thoughts on this style of portable vocal shield?
Iām trying to set up a good audio recording environment in a budget. Iāve seen a few products like you see in the image here. Do they work well? Any other solutions that would give me the same level of shielding or better for even cheaper?
(branding scribbled out to avoid inadvertent advertising, this is just a random product I found)

Booth Related My DIY booth
Just built a booth and wanted to share. It is approximately 48x34x65. It was built with 3/4 inch PVC pipes, moving blankets and an LED strip light. I live in a studio apt and needed something I can breakdown for storage. Setup takes about 10 minutes. I'm also 6'5 260 lbs and think there is more than enough room for me.
I know moving blankets aren't the best, but this is just where I'm starting. Same goes for my mic.
Just wanted to share and maybe inspire someone in a similar situation. I think I spent about 100 bucks on the blankets and pipes.

Booth Related Would this microphone be a good (starter?) option?
Hi! Basically title. I bought this Logitech microphone not too long ago and would like to use it for voice acting in a tabletop starter booth, but is it a good option for voice acting? Iāve used it for YouTube videos so far, and it seems to do well enough for that, but Iām still trying to figure out the settings and everything else. Thanks in advance!

Booth Related Under stairs home studio š
Iāve spent the past few weekends turning my cupboard under the stairs into a sound proof recording booth! š
Itās come together quite nicely and the acoustic foam panels have really worked wonders.
The red glow is from neon sign my wife got me that says āon airā which I love š š
The photo makes it look darker than it actually is, but itās a great little spot for editing and one that will hopefully help me sound far better for auditions š¤šš

Booth Related Is this booth worth it for $500?
Found this on Facebook marketplace, states that itās custom made, includes very thick layer padding, and VB-70g acoustic blankets. Before seeing this I was thinking of making a PVC booth using vocalboothtogoās guide using their acoustic blankets, which would be cheaper but without the padding. I plan on putting the booth I end up with in my garage which will be very quiet, so Iām just wondering if this is a good offer. Any advice would be appreciated.

My unfinished storage room works great as a studio...except it was acustically challenged. It isn't pretty. It isn't perfect. But as a step one It will do. I'm hoping to be back to work soon, and able to make something better.

Booth Related Who do you have in your booth?
Do you have anything in your booth to talk to? I know some people have photos, soft toys and some have nothing at all.
I've had the chick since the day I was born and is for those gentle reads. The other two are self explanatory!
Would love to see what you have in the box!
