People, Voiceover People Who Need People – Post-COVID Edition
Soundtrax Chief Engineer Cameron Fitzpatrick overseeing another successful voiceover recording session in Raleigh, NC (July 2021)
What a great treat recently to get back into SOMEONE ELSE’S voiceover studio with other real voiceover people.
Look, it’s always nice to be cast in any voiceover project because….money.
But this recording session was even MORE fun because it involved not just going to somebody else’s studio but it was a GROUP session with anywhere from 2 to 5 people safely recording TOGETHER in the studio!!!

Now, if you’re reading this and not very familiar with voiceover, all this excitement may seem rather silly. I get that.
But if you’ll remember back some weeks and months ago…when maybe you went back to work or celebrated a holiday with people you hadn’t seen IN PERSON in months or a year…you were excited and happy.
It’s like that.

It was great to see my VO pals again, in person.
Even better, I didn’t know all the voice talents I was working with. Some of them were new to me. New friends, yay!
One of them I had worked with remotely….they were in one studio and I was Source-Connected in from my voiceover studio. When I heard her voice today in person right next to me, I thought “where have I heard that voice?” 🙂

Look, whether pre-COVID or post-COVID, often there are not that many group voiceover sessions outside of NY and LA (and those are becoming less frequent too). It was great fun to see, visit with and work with my voice acting peers again – in person!!!
Voiceover people are FAR from normal under the best of circumstances 😉 but this voiceover session was a taste of normalcy for us.
The way life used to be.
I’m thankful.
