Zoom Recording

The voiceover industry has changed a lot since COVID-19 started. Now, Zoom and Teams are key for working together from anywhere. This has made it easier for people to work together, no matter where they are.

Before, voice-over work was done over the phone. But now, Zoom and Teams let people from all over the world join in. This has made working together on a global scale easier.

Quality is very important in voice-over work. That's why pros use special mics that pick up even the tiniest sounds. To keep the sound clear, it's best to keep the computer away from the recording area. This stops the computer's fan from making noise.

Video is sometimes used in voice-over work too. But it's important to watch the bandwidth because video uses more data than sound. By keeping video simple, the sound stays clear and strong.

Some voice-over artists like being seen on camera, while others prefer not to. It's up to each person what they feel comfortable with. The goal is to make a space where they can do their best work.

Editing in a live session usually falls to a producer or client. They take the whole recording and edit it as the artist likes. It's good to take notes during the session so you know which parts to keep.

Stopping a recording to play it back can be tricky. It might make the artist lose their flow. If you need to do this, it's best to have a studio engineer help out.

Using Zoom or Teams for recording can save money. It cuts down on costs for studios, engineers, and travel. This makes it a popular choice for many voice-over pros.

About 84% of voice-over pros now do remote recordings because of things like being in different places or being in quarantine. But, there are some challenges to overcome with remote recording.

To get good sound in remote recordings, 73% of pros make sure all their gear is working right. And 91% say having a strong internet connection is key to avoid problems during recording.

Most users (78%) like to keep their camera on when using Zoom for meetings. It helps with communication and makes the session go smoother. Clear plans and good communication are key for a successful remote session, say 95% of pros.

In conclusion, Zoom has changed the voiceover industry for the better. It has made working together from anywhere possible and has helped create top-quality recordings. Thanks to Zoom and Teams, pros can work past location limits and make great voice-overs.
