Solo Booth

A member works alone in a solo booth. A staff member will not be present for the session, but assistance is available for setup if necessary, and an instructional video is available for viewing.

Virtual Voiceover Lab

Members can book time in the Virtual VO Lab for technical help with their home setup or to record auditions/practice sessions with our audio engineers. A member is at home and connects virtually with one of the audio engineers/booth directors through Source-Connect (free version) or Source-Connect Standard (paid version). The audio engineer/booth director records, coaches, and directs the session.

Sessions are available in 50-minute and 15-minute slots.

Virtual voiceover sessions require the Google Chrome browser, stable internet, and a quiet recording space. Source-Connect is not required but is a helpful tool. Book a virtual voiceover booth session below.
