No more pops!

My husband hates those pops (spikes) and he came up with the idea of making a custom pop filter. Few references online and here it is! A new addition to the home studio, "The Pop Filter". It does perform the job of filtering those pops, to perfection! Home made stuff is so cool and so cheap. Got this done with a fifteen rupee embroidery frame, nylon socks material, a photo holder (used as a stand) and a twine to tie. That is all it took and of course, thirty minutes of pure fun! Thanks, to my creative hubby.



Issues with the sound card have also been fixed and have learnt a trick or two in Audacity to make effective voice recordings. So, I am hoping to make progress by creating some noise-free recordings over the week.

Regrouping Myself

Voice over courses were hard to come by, especially in Bangalore. In Mumbai and Pune, it seems to be a regular affair. I was waiting and waiting and a course never seemed to come by. Suddenly it did, from Sound Footing. I was looking forward towards a course which could rekindle my aspiration and it certainly did.

Sandeep did a great job in grouping up like minded people and taking us through an exciting journey through the nuances of VO, RJ, MC, Sound Editing and Podcasting. It seems to have done the trick for me.

Sandeep focuses and understands the strengths and weakness of each individual in the group and provides his thoughts around that. His critical views and recommendations on weak areas, really helps in improving ourselves. Thanks, Sandeep!
