Q) I am interested in your soundproof curtain. Our doorway is 65″ tall and 80″ tall . Can I use your curtain to soundproof adjoining two rooms instead of installing a double door?

A) If your choice is between doors and the curtains, then solid tightly closed doors will be a better option. This is especially true if you are dealing with two rooms such as a  living room and family room (where appearance and convenience also counts).

But — the curtains will do the job too. You can install the curtains tightly, with no cracks between the curtains and the walls. The curtains come in 48 inch width.  If your doorway is 63 inches, you would need two curtains (48 x 85 inches each) so they can overlap each over and can be installed above the door frame.

For Lifelong Clients, Apply Lifelong Learning … About VO & Everything!

By Randye Kaye
Voice Actor and Coach

Okay, so you’€™ve already graduated from high school, college, whatever.

But education is a lifelong pursuit, and in the field of voice-over, everything you learn comes in handy.
And it’s not just about the specific basics your VO training has drummed into you: acting, diction, body language, pitch, tone, volume and tempo, etc.
 
Since over 90% of VO work is in the field of narrations, and since we all want our clients to hire us again, here are 10 things I have found helpful in my 20 years as a VO talent – with many valued clients who have continued to use my voice for new projects.
 
1. BASIC ENGLISH SKILLS
What? Grammar / Vocabulary / Reading Comprehension.
 
Why? Let’s face it, you are reading copy and the more you understand, the more your listener will understand.
 
Sometimes you may clarify the copywriter€™s intent by catching grammar inconsistencies. Likewise, the better your vocabulary, the fewer stumbling blocks you’€™ll have to understanding what you’€™re saying and thereby communicating it (and saying it correctly).
 
How? When you read, look up the words you don’t know. Help a 5th grader with homework.
 
Practice reading out loud (fiction, non-fiction), and then look away from the page and see if you understand what you justkaye042_small read.

2. PHONETICS
What? The science or study of speech, the symbols that represent the sounds.
Why? Helpful for marking correct pronunciations (medical terms, foreign words) in the margins of your copy (doesn’t have to be standard linguistic symbols, just something you will understand!).
How? Study a dictionary, and see which symbols (e.g. a line over a vowel represents the “long” pronunciation – like the “a” in BAY; a curved line is the “short” version, like the “a” in BAT) work for you.

Q) My sound blankets have a smell? What can I do?

A) Everyone has a different level of sensitivity when it comes to their sense of smell. The “new” smell of the sound blankets may have no effect, little effect or a major effect on the nose. However the sound blankets can be washed!

Here is a suggestion for washing the sound blankets to release that NEW smell.

  • Take the blankets to a Laundromat and wash them in a commercial washer with regular amount of detergent.(Do NOT use your own washer).
  • Then dry then in a tumble dry at high heat. Drying might take a long time. I suggest to go through several 12 minutes cycles, so you can straighten up the blanket in between the drying cycles.  Because ,you know the blanket folds in the machine and only the top exposed surface will get dry, so you need to turn it and let everything dry.
  • After you have it thoroughly dried ( on High Setting)  let it hang outside on fresh air and cool off.
  • Please note that the blanket will be steaming hot and the smell will intensify, but then after it cools off the smell will go away.
  • You can actually skip the washing part. Just try drying the blankets on a high setting for 12-15 minutes first. And then let it air out.  See if this will be enough.
  • You can wash the blankets again too.

Warning: DO NOT try this at home! You might destroy your machine. Because the blankets are getting very heavy and will occupy the entire space in the machine, Your machine will not have enough room to wash the blankets properly.
