The Best Acoustic Treatment For Voice-Over: This Is What It Sounds Like

- Excellent Voice-over recording quality is not easy to achieve, especially when recording in your home studio. There are several essential items that you need if you want to acquire a professional sound. The most essential ingredient you need is the acoustic treatment for your recording space. Many voice-over artists try to work around this with plugins or low-cost solutions. Some of these workarounds will help. But nothing you do will improve the quality of your voice recording more than proper acoustic treatment. It's more important than a microphone, audio interface, microphone preamp, or any type of software. In this video, I feature a voice-over recording submission that is of incredible quality. Because the raw recording is of high quality, the resulting processed audio is equally or more impressive. The sound of the processed audio with EQ and compression is built on a sturdy foundation. I'll explain how this sound is achieved with proper acoustic treatment and why, as a voice-over artist, you want to strive for it.

Very helpful. Thank you.
So much to learn, appreciate the new info and thoughts on how it all works, complex.. and something to work towards.. as a growing voice:))
It was a pleasure working with you, Lenny. Thank you for the praise! Your expertise and insight have added to my performances in the booth. And you blew me away with how quick you delivered! I'm so glad I took advantage of your free audio submissions!
This is so well done it’s ridiculous. The raw audio was clean, and his voice is great, but when you processed it, it became flawless.
Taking a 4x4’ booth down to 3x3’ is the reality folks. Make sure the booth you build or buy has room to tune it plus room for you, and you’ll get results like Daniel’s. Bravo!
The before sounded great, the after sounded AMAZING. Great video. Currently working on my booth right now. Will definitely reach out for a vocal chain in the future.
Outstanding as always, Lenny. You have that magic touch. The processed vocal sounds full and smooth. It was a great vocal to begin with, but you just made it shine.
Your usage of the Scheps became much more sophisticated compared to your older videos and for a good reason. The settings you present here are very valuable.
Wow! That is crazy how clean his raw audio is.
Hi, @sairaweeks8083. Yes, proper acoustic treatment is a massive part of a great sound. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you for sharing Lenny!
Great content and massive value! Thank you for your expert advice!
Hey @skillfulwebdesign. It was great hanging out with you in my studio. 👍
Wow the raw file sounds so clean that I feel like you just need to add a compressor and it's good to go
Since you're using it in this video (and sounding great) I assume you like the Roswell Mini k87. I bought one last year and really enjoy it for VO, even more than my TLM 103. It's a helluva good value at $439 vs. $1200. No, I don't work for Roswell! :)
I love my Mini k87. I agree. It's a great value, and I love the sound.
great content sir :)
Sounds great! What IEMs are you using here Lenny?
I'm using Westones. I love them for on stage, and they're great for monitoring when I don't want big, huge phones on my head. The Isolation is awesome!!!!
Regarding the high pass filter on your side chain . . . are you sure that's how Scheps Omni Channel works? Normally high pass filters on side chains are for the DETECTION circuit, not the actual compression.

Hi @scottfauber, Thanks for that catch. I could have explained that better. The high pass is affecting only the detector circuit of that compressor.
Is that a Mini K87 that you are using?
Hi @SpaceShipSin, yes, it is. It's one of my favorites, especially paired with particular preamps. I just added the links in the description of this video. Thanks for the asking!!
@@HeyLennyBI noticed that mic too! I ordered one that should be here tomorrow! Very excited!
Roswell is how I was introduced to your fabulous Acoustic Treatment For Voice course. I learned so much and have more effectively treated my space. I will be sending a sample to you soon!
@SuperMiker78, that's awesome! I'm looking forward to hearing your audio. 👍
Hi Lenny😊
I’m building a VO recording studio for my wife in our new house. As I’m buying materials for the treatment I’m wondering if Owens Corning 703 or Rockwool Mineral Wool 60 is better. Any thoughts?
Hello! Owens Corning 703 is my choice. It's the industry standard for recording studios. However, more important is the panel thickness. It's directly related to the frequencies that will be absorbed. Thin panels won't absorb lower frequencies. You must have a reflectionless room to get a great voice-over sound. I would suggest at least 4 or 5 inches thick for each panel if you're building your own. I strongly suggest you take my acoustic treatment course. It will save you time, money, and frustration. www.lennyb.com/acoustic-treatment-for-voice-over
@@HeyLennyB Thank you very much! I’’ll definitely check out the course👍
Regarding thickness of the panel, that’s something of which I was definitely aware. With tge space we have, I’m actually going to be able to do 4” of insulation with a 4” sealed air gap behind it.
