Really…
This is an amazing opportunity to get great ideas for your own studio! It’s a gathering of voice actors who learn from each other.  Some have home studios. Some are in the process of putting one together.

It’s informal, easy, fun, and most importantly, incredibly helpful.

Want to give a tour of your studio?

Going on the show is amazing! You get great exposure, you build wonderful community, and you can make many new connections!  If you haven’t seen the show, watch a few episodes. For example, watch Jason (Brazil) on episode 10, Nicole (America) on episode 12, Don (America) on episode 16, Sarah (Australia) on episode 19, Nik (Japan) on episode 23, and both Ramesh (Spain) and Bernard (Germany) on episode 24.

To have your studio showcased, please send a few photos of your studio to: Training@EdgeStudio.com, with the subject line “Please showcase my home studio!”.

Then we’ll get in touch.

Here’s what people say:

“I definitely find them very intriguing, even more so than I originally anticipated.”

“It’s fascinating seeing the wide range of setups that people put together and make work for them, and how you can’t really judge a studio’s quality by it’s look.”

“I really like the human element of not only seeing the actors in their home studio environments, but the way that you and Siobhan keep it very relaxed, informal and engaging by getting them talking about their work focus, experience, and career/life stories.”

“It’s SO cool seeing inside voice actor’s studios – I got great ideas! Thank you!!”

“The Home Studio Show and Tell videos were great! It’s was especially cool to see other New Yorkers tricks to mitigating sound in their apartments and I definitely got some new ideas from it. I also appreciated you stepping in and asking specific questions that might have gone unanswered otherwise. Very helpful all around. I subscribed to the channel and look forward to more.”

What people are saying about
Home Studio Show & Tell

 

-“This is so fantastic – thank you for putting this together and for everyone who shared their space. It’s great to see the range of what is working for people.”

-“Very informative on a number of levels. I’m not voice acting yet, but I like to be informed before I ad lib!!!” Will L.

-“It was great showing my fellow emerging voice artists what’s possible when you’re building your first DIY home studio.” Dale S.

-“I just want you to know how much I appreciate the Home Studio shows.  It is so inspiring to see how individual VO people solve their specific issues, and make the most of the space they have.  This last session gave me some ideas for sound treatment that my wife might actually be able to tolerate!” Tim G.

-“I continue to be amazed at the creativity and  resourcefulness of these VO artists.  That amazement has turned into motivation…. I see how people don’t wait for their space to be ‘perfect’, or ‘look’ like a professional recording space.  So, I now just step into my 3×5 coat closet near the front door, imbed the mic stand in the middle of all the coats, close the door, and turn on a flashlight so I can read the script.  I can’t move at all with the coats there as the material makes way too much noise.  I leave the computer outside on a small table.  But, know what?  It Works…!! Tim G.
