How to set up your own home mp3 recording studio
with Manuel Herrera

Even if you have already prepared your demo to distribute, you now also need to record and submit audition copy. More and more, HOLA members are being asked to record and send a sampling of their voices using actual client copy. This trend is owing to fast turnarounds required by advertisers.

If you are reading this announcement means that you already have most of the equipment you will need: a laptop or home computer. All you need is a basic inexpensive microphone and software. You will not need to purchase anything before taking this workshop-- we have all the equipment. But you do need to learn how to use the software and the recording process.

If you have previously taken Manuel Herrera’s voice-over workshop, this seminar will be a breeze. If you are an experienced voiceover actor you need to learn the pluses and minuses that come to directing yourself.

Be prepared when an agent sends you a PDF sample of audition material
and asks you to record an mp3 file.
