The second of our recording sessions was booked in a proper recording studio. The quality of soundproofing and technology made the process both more professional and more enjoyable!
As an added novelty, we had a full compliment of cast! This meant that we could crack on to get all the recordings done today.

To start the session, we all gathered in the recording studio to discuss any changes to the script or any problems people were having with lines or accents. My role today would be to work with the cast on the vocalization and characterisation of the script, mostly helping with accentuation, diction, pace and clarity.
The recording crew decided to record everything at least twice if possible to facilitate the editing process. This allowed me to give input from within the recording booth to try and improve each speech the second time around.
The headphone intercom system allowed for us to be in communication with the people on the sound desk, who would offer technical advice to optimize the recordings. The technical setup in the studio was a novelty to those who had not experienced it before, but ultimately it was very fit for the purpose of which it was designed.
Sitting in on the recordings was wonderful. To hear my script come off the page was such a brilliant feeling. I was also great to see the vocal talents within the group, especially from those who I had not heard much from over the course of the process.
