Long-distance voice recording

- What if your budget or your schedule…didn't allow for you to fly in your actors…to record them locally.…Well, you could fly to where your actors are,…but that can also be costly and time consuming.…Luckily, it's easy to direct a voice session,…regardless of how far apart you and your talent may be.…I was recently traveling in Canada,…and I had to direct voice talent for a pilot,…and they were all based in New York City.…So I simply put on my headphones,…and I Skyped into the recording studio…to direct the session, and it worked great.…

And just last week, I Skyped with a local voice actor,…who had his own recording studio.…Now, he was only across town,…but Skype allowed us both to save time.…Now people have used phones to direct…voice sessions for a long time.…I feel that way really is lacking.…I want to see my actors,…and I want to see what they're doing in the booth,…so I can help them get their voices to a better performance.…The reason that's important is because…I can help them with their acting if I can see them.…
