Voice Reels

What and Why?

Casting directors very often want to hear you sing before you even walk in the room, so a professionally recorded Voice Reel is as important as your CV or your headshot.

As well as offering tracks for sale, I can also record them for you. I have a recording studio based in The Wilkes Academy of Performing Arts in Swindon, but I also offer a mobile studio, with exactly the same results.

I have decades of experience recording audio, and have produced literally hundreds of Voice Reels for students and professionals over the last ten years or so.

I will happily travel to you and record your vocals, whether you'd like to use my piano tracks, or backing tracks of your own. I could also bring an electric piano with me and record simultaneously with you. Of course, working at a performing arts college, I'm fully DBS checked and I'm happy to work around whatever situation feels right for you.

The Technical Bit!

I run Logic Pro on a MacBook Pro, or an iMac, recording through a Neumann TLM103, surrounded by an SE Electronics Reflexion Filter. Within Logic, I use Melodyne audio correction software, along with the vast Waves Horizon plugin suite. This is all industry standard equipment and I have both the experience of a studio engineer, coupled with the facility of a musical theatre accompanist and a vocal coach. 

HOW MUCH?

Well, that of course depends what you need to achieve! For example, if you came to Swindon for a 2 hour voice reel session, I would expect to get through one full song, and three (approximately) minute long cut songs. These would then be mixed into one 3 minute long Voice Reel, with another 90 second cut. Each of these files would be mixed, mastered and emailed to you in MP3 format, for £150.  Of course if you wanted more or less, we can tailor the session accordingly.

If you'd like me to come to you, then travel time and travel costs, as well as a short amount of set up time, needs to be added to that fee, with an additional cost if you need me to play the piano as well. 

WHat now?

If you'd like to discuss this further and talk about availability and costings, just get in touch and we'll go from there. With many people getting jobs as a direct result of their recorded work with me, I know it'll be worthwhile. 

Below are a few examples of what can be achieved, recording with the tracks available on this site. Both were recorded in my studio in Swindon. Any questions? Get in touch!
