Ep 013- Passion Projects, Loudness Wars

Holy Gain Stage, Batman! It's been a busy month at Studio C Creative Sound! (The official Batcave of the Voice Recording Bootcamp in San Diego CA)

We've been doing lots of podcasts in both audio and video formats, managing voice over classes with some of our favorite voice over instructors in Southern California, and working on our passion projects.

We take another look at what it takes to record your voice over work, and offer some creative ideas for using your mad skills and gear to make an income.

Our former student Cheryl had a project dropped in her lap and wasn't quite sure how to handle the lack of budget. What to do? Well, if it's a fun project (and you're pretty sure you're not just getting worked by the client), see it as an opportunity to make friends and contacts that will further your career. 

We chat/rant about the history of the Loudness Wars, and how we got here. And show you all about RMS and LUFS, which you definitely want to understand if you're getting in to any type of streaming or podcasting work. It's a little nerdy, but we've kept it painless.

And a cool little FREE plug-in to make sure you're sending the right levels to your client, like Amazon ACX or podcast hosting service.

Plus, a little Easter Egg for you if you listen to the end.

Enjoy!
