I have a question for you Master VO:

Ari R.

Thanks for chiming in Ari,

VOX studio.... Well, for those of you unfamiliar with VOX Studio, I can basically say its a fairly simple recording software system that allows you to record and edit, and then brags about how many different formats it will save the file in, especially uLaw which is used on phone prompt systems. It also aides in that process by dividing up a single file of a bunch of prompts into individual files of those prompts for the Phone system, or if its multiple slides for a power point or other presentation that requires individual files.

However, VOX also has a TELEPROMPTER. You can read record the words someone else writes as it scrolls at your pace on the screen, just like President Obama! Kinda cool! Also very expensive! By the way Magix Audio Cleaning Lab also converts to MP3, Wav, AIFF, and the dreaded uLaw too, as well as all the other popular recording software packages.

With a little research, you can find just about anything, and a quick Google search with "Teleprompter/Recording Software" opens up the floodgate of products. Some expensive, some cheap, some FREE!

I won't venture to recommend one as I don't use a teleprompter, at least for recording simple copy. If I'm shooting a video, I might find utility for it. I also see that it could be useful for doing audio books. The thing is, for commercial copy thats less than a page, Why bother?. Just put the script on the screen. Besides, even with longer format stuff, its better to have a paper copy to "mark up your copy." Hard to do with a screen.

I guess its all preference. Master VO believes in "keeping it simple." Why add expense and complexity when your focus should be on performance.

Now, if you want to look Presidential while you record in your solitude, go for it.

My two cents..

Master VO out...((((((GONG)))))))
