The Studio of Jim Kipping Jim Kipping, Jimbo to many, has had many studio setups where ever he's lived before. From small closets, to a full extra bedroom converted with custom cabinetry. From mobile rigs with a laptop and balance audio card with a pro microphone when he's out of town and never wants to be away from a gig or audition. Enter his new space. An 8 acre piece of land he has been developing for over 10 years now. When purchased, there was no electricity, no running water, no cable, or phone. There were also no structures on it either. First things first, build the garage with the mindset that the upper floor would one day be his studio. Next, sell house in town, and move INDO said garage which is only 380 square feet, very spacious by New York city standards, then store most of everything they had for two and a half years while they build the house. A three story Italian/Tuscan farm house which has been called the most authentic in the country. Did we say he and his wife contracted that themselves too?? Check that out at www.PoggioSecco.com. Now that the house is complete, it was reno time for the “studio.” Complete with voice booth and control room, the new home office studio is now complete. This time all by Jim's lonesome. Everything from installation of the real maple hardwood floors, to the electrical, communications and audio pathing. The studio was wired completely from the ground up at construction time with cat6 networking cable, RG6, XLR snakes and 27 pair control, phone and audio distribution cable throughout, just as a commercial post house would be. Couple that with the ISDN capabilities, a point Kipping checked with the local telco to make sure was available even before the property was purchased, turbo speed Internet connectivity and even fiber between the house and studio, its any wonder his property doesn't glow at night. With neighbors like Willie Nelson, a member of the Dixy Chicks and movie Director Robert Rodriguez as neighbors. This was the perfect place to land a home and custom VO studio and Post House. Jim is not just a voice-actor and sound designer, his building & electrical skills have help him greatly in his 25+ years in the industry. He builds his own computers too. Currently eyeballing a dual quad chip board (8 processors) with 16 gigs of ram for his next recording rig. Equipment: Intel quadcor/HP PC 3 gigs ram/Adobe Audition 1.0-3.0, Pro-Tools LE with Mbox, Mics: Neumann TLM103, RodeNT2, NT2A, Grove Tube GT66, Sure SM7 & 7B, Blue Baby Bottle, Sennheiser 416 shotgun, Mic Pre's: Aphex 230 & DBX376, Eventide H3000, Samson Amps, custom studio cabinetry, 19”, 23” and 40” Monitors from Dell and Samsung, studio warning lights as well. Telos Zephyr Express, Telos 1x6 phone Hybrid, Telos Audioactive hardware encoder, Yamaha O1V96 console, Moto 2408MKIII computer audio interface, foambymail.com custom studio acoustic wall treatment and bass traps, complete custom engineered AC/Heading zoned system for just the studio. Much more in the rack not used at this time. “It's the most custom and comfortable space I've ever worked in,” Jim says, “and to look back and say.. 'yea, we did that' makes each gig landed that much sweeter. I love this place. AND it's paid for, nothing is financed. I'm glad that the gigs I keep landing help support my voicing and recording gear habit!” Bookings include: Netflix, Amtrak, Sunny Delight, Stripes Stores, Kreg Tool, MMI, Oklahoma Tourism, NBC Casting, Geraldo At Large, Fox7, and thousands of regional and local spots around globe.

The Studio of Chris Fries Ahh, where to begin…I guess you can say it all started with a microphone and a dream. Nah, who’s going to believe that?! No, it pretty much got started in college, some 20+ years ago. I was “finding myself” and trying to figure out what on earth I was going to do for a living. I worked at the college radio station and I parlayed that into a job with a local radio station and did everything from promotions, to board operator to on-air personality. I loved it, but didn’t like the volatility of the industry (here today, gone tomorrow). I got out of radio and for years was trying to find my niche. Well, the search was never ending. My wife knew I wasn’t happy and encouraged me to follow the dream I had set out for so long ago – working with my voice. During my time in radio, I had heard about people transitioning over to voice over. I thought I’d do the same. So I took a class, made my first demo way too soon, but fortunately was still able to land an agent – a small time agent, but agent nonetheless. I got my inexperienced butt back into classes. And when I was done with those classes, I took more classes. Between the education and the networking, I was able to build a nice little foundation. Little jobs would become a little bit bigger jobs, and then those grew as well. During this time, I was able to set up a home studio in my walk-in closet on a very modest budget. It worked beautifully doing auditions and jobs from there. The only down side was putting up with the “come out of the closet” jokes – lol! Anyway, soon after I was able to able to move up the voice over food chain. I went to a larger agency, and from there an even bigger one. With my earnings I continued to upgrade my studio, hopeful the investment would pay off. I got the Sennheiser 416, the Avalon 737, the Mackie Onyx 1220 mixer, upgraded my Protools, put in a phone patch, took over one of our extra bedrooms and made it into my studio complete with Vocal Booth sound room and an Telos Zephyr ISDN system. The gamble paid off. Through hard work and persistence, I’ve been able to make a living doing what I love. How many people can say that? The whole voice over roller coaster has only been 5 years in the making, but I’m now with CESD in Los Angeles, one of the most highly respected voice over agencies in the business, along with four other regional agents throughout the country. I’ve booked national campaigns for Wal Mart, Minute Maid, Apple and Macaroni Grill to name a few. I’ve been featured on cartoons for Sesame Street, video games like Call of Duty: World at War (Sgt. Sullivan), Resistance 2, Guild Wars 2, G.I. Joe (Dusty), Socom: Fireteam Bravo 3 (Sandman) and others, and voice-matched for Thomas Hayden Church in one of his movies. It’s been a ride like no other now that I take a moment and look back at it. And the future is looking even bigger and brighter! Behind it all, is my wife. To say I wouldn’t be here without her is the understatement of the decade. She’s my biggest fan, but not as big a fan as I am of her. I love you, sweetheart! Thank you for being my rock.

The Studio of Michael Dean Mike began doing voice work in the mid 90s while still pursuing a career in music. In late 1999, necessity led Mike to a new radio station about to hit the airwaves in Montreal, 940 News. Early on he voiced commercials as a freelancer in the stations production department and ran the board in the on-air control room until being given a shot at traffic reporting. That soon led to a part-time position as a news anchor on the all news station, working weekends and swing-shift, filling in for vacationing announcers. Then in 2001 another start up came along. The digital specialty channel Discovery Civilization, which began broadcasting in September of that year in Canada. Mike beat out a field of dozens of candidates and was chosen as the voice for Discovery Civilization, his distinctive delivery was a perfect fit for the often dramatic content aired on the nationwide channel. In late 2003 Canada's Outdoor Life Network was looking to change it's image and after years of developing his dark, dramatic style of voice over, the network hired Mike to do just that - image for the station. Mike spent some time as an Entertainment reporter as well. Beginning as a locally produced feature "Fast Track" started airing daily in 2001 on 940 News and ran for 5 years. During that time the feature became syndicated, airing on several Corus Entertainment Radio stations under the name "Entertainment Nation" throughout Canada, including in Toronto and Calgary. In 2006, following a change in management at CINW 940 News, Mike was offered his own talk show. The show consisted of a one hour News Magazine, with the top stories of the day and regular contributors on everything you needed to know, followed by a one hour open line talk show tackling the issues of the day. That continued until September 2007 when Mike was moved to the morning show News Desk on the Dennis Trudeau Show. Mike now dedicates all his time to voice over work from his home studio just outside Montreal. Speaking of… All the hard work and planning that went into creating the new studio has resulted in a facility producing the highest quality audio - with the flexibility to offer off-line sessions or real time ( live ) connectivity to any studio, anywhere in the world. STUDIO GEAR Mixer - Mackie 1202-VLZ3 ( NEW ) Pre-Amp - TC Electronic Gold Channel Mic - Neuman TLM103 ( NEW ) Mic - Beyerdynamic M99 ( NEW ) Monitoring - Hafler Transana Studio Monitors Beyer Dynamics DT 250 Headphones Aphex Headpod 454 Amp ( NEW ) Software - Cool Edit Pro 2 Multitrack Source Live - For Real Time Remote Session Recording ( NEW ) Remote Talkback - JK Audio Inline Patch Phone Hybrid ( NEW ) Although Mike's claim to fame is his dark and dramatic reads which make him particularly well suited for movie trailers, he can also offer a variety of other styles reads for projects ranging from Radio & Television Imaging, Promos, TV & Radio Commercials, Corporate-Industrial Videos, Interactive Media Presentations or Narration for TV Documentaries and just about any other VO need you might have. Mike is currently working with the legendary Marc Graue in Burbank, California - producing all new demos for the 2010 Voice Over year.

The Studio of Andrew Heyl For Andrew Heyl, it all started with a blanket, Lexicon Lamda Box, used mic from ebay and garage band. Then after a few auditions from home he landed some work and the bug hit. The “studio” (spare bedroom with bulky bed, acoustic ceiling and wall to wall carpet) graduated to some Acoustic foam and a blanket, a mic upgrade and playing around with different audio software. The Acoustic foam started multiplying and before long every audition required ducking under a wall of foam surrounding him like a sarcophagus. While not very roomy, it was effective for noise dampening and he was able to upgrade to a respectable pre and up his gain for those deep intense reads…(well relative to his range) So then he got an idea. Why not build a simple booth in his garage. Get a few friends to help and be done in a weekend. Maybe 2. 7 months later…his garage has now been completely gutted, re-designed, re-wired, re-floored, re-plumbed and has a booth to rival any he has ever worked in. Now with 2 Focussrite Pre’s, 2 AKG 3000b mics, JK Audio phone patch, Mackie VLZ-3 mixer, Mbox firewire410, Central Station, MX-8 Studio Monitors and the obligatory Lava Lite a dream was born. He uses a MAC and a PC offering his clients different sources of audio software from Adobe Audition to Protools and Sound Booth. Friends and clients can come to see and learn the differences in each. He has been trained by some of the greatest teachers in the voiceover industry, his auditioning skills have become stronger, he has bookings coming in regularly and new opportunities have presented themselves through a passion for this line of work and the amazing people in it. He shares the space with working professional VO friends in a Saturday workout where there is never a charge to attend but always an expectation of working hard to keep improving the acting. Andrew is everything and more a great VO artist should be & clients continually request him to voice their projects. Some of those clients include, Lifetime Networks, CBS, Skechers, Chrysler, University of Michigan, Operation Lifesaver, and other great clients who have been pleased with the work that is coming from his new studio.

The Studio of DANIEL TATAR It's pronounced "Tater." As in Tot. And...it's "Greater with Tatar." Daniel's strong Midwestern work ethic and great "bedside manner" have helped to create a consistent and wide-ranging career in various media: stage, television, commercial, and voiceover. Daniel's VO career was launched when a voiceover agent and Disney animation casting director approached him after a stage show. A loyal talent, he is still with the same agent today. Since then, Daniel continues to work and improve his skills, recording for national clients such as McDonald's, Volkswagen, American Idol, Walgreen's, and Game Show Network, as well as a myriad of local and regional spots. Clients appreciate his fast turnaround, fun personality, and natural reads. His improvisational training with the L.A.-based comedy institution, Groundlings, and his work as a professional singer, add depth and uniqueness to his VO work. Daniel's approach goes well beyond just a voice - even the smallest pieces are analyzed as to character, target audience, regional accent, etc., to provide a depth and quality that set his work apart. His first in-home studio was the popular Port-o-Booth. Using this portable "mini-studio" allowed him to build experience and connections, but wasn't that impressive when it came time to advertise his in-home studio. Eventually, Daniel was able to expand his in-home setup to a full-service studio. The studio's equipment includes Neumann microphones, M-Audio MIDI controllers, synthesizers, latest OS Macs, full 88-key keyboard, flat screen TV & DVD to match VO-to-video, etc. He connects via ISDN - Telos Zephyr, Phone Patch, and more, but the most often-requested methods of delivery by clients are via ftp or emailed mp3. Daniel has been studying voiceover with various professionals since starting his career in Chicago. Now in Los Angeles, he continues to take workshops, including "VO workout sessions," where VO professionals come to practice their skills. Most of his clients are in the Midwest and East Coast of the US; whether it's a single VO track or a complete project (script, recording, mixing, etc.), Daniel is able to accommodate their schedules and meet their demands easily. Remember: "It's Greater with Tatar!"

TESTIMONIALS: _____________ Jon has the fresh sound we were looking for to image Fresh FM in New York City. Our project was to create the next generation of AC radio. His rich delivery gives us the polish we programmers are all familiar and comfortable with but it's his youthful male voice that made him the clear favorite for Fresh. If you want a pro who delivers on-time and is a delight to work with Jon is a great choice. Best of all he relates to the younger side of the AC audience and they relate to him. The new Fresh FM NYC is enjoying the best ratings this station has seen in years and Jon is a part our success. Director of Programming - CBS Radio, NY WWFS-FM New York, NY The New Fresh 102.7 When re-branding our ABC affiliate, we knew the station's voice was a critical element. I painfully made my way through stacks of VO demos and Jon Carter really broke through. Jon is exactly what we needed! Clean, fun, energetic. The quality and speed of delivery is fantastic, as well. Thanks, Jon! Ethan Buete, WOTV TV4 Grand Rapids, MI Station is #1 women for the last 25 months and #2 adults! Thanks to Jon's help! I wanted a fresh new voice for KS95, Jon Carter is that voice. He has great presence and lends a clean fun sound to the station. Extremely easy to work with and gets our work back lightning fast! Great addition to the station!
