Sound
We capture every nuance, so your message sounds clear and sharp
Recording speech requires a precise and methodical approach to ensure that the voice comes across clearly, naturally and without interference. The process begins with a technical setup, where the microphone type and placement are selected based on the recording environment and atmosphere. Lavalier microphones, boom microphones or stationary studio microphones are used depending on whether the recording takes place on location or in a controlled studio.
Voice recording – the voice behind your message in premium quality
Before recording, sound tests are carried out to ensure the correct level, minimise background noise and adjust the acoustics to the room. Any adjustments to sound insulation or reflections are handled to create the best possible recording conditions.
During the recording itself, the sound is constantly monitored to detect unwanted disturbances such as sudden noises, echoes or uneven volume. Speech intonation and tempo are fine-tuned, if necessary, to ensure a natural delivery that matches the tone and narrative style of the video.
After each recording, the audio files are reviewed to ensure that the material is flawless and ready for post-production. A well-planned recording process reduces the need for retakes and ensures that the final audio recording is ready for editing and refinement in post-production.
Diegetic sound – the small sounds that shape the experience
Recording diegetic sound is an essential part of video production, where natural sounds from the surroundings are captured to create a more authentic and atmospheric sound experience. The process requires precise planning and technical setup to ensure that each sound contributes to the overall experience without interference.
Before recording, the acoustics of the location and any background noise are assessed so that the microphone type and placement can be adjusted. Directional microphones are used to isolate specific sounds, while more open microphones can capture the atmosphere and character of the room.
During recording, relevant sounds – such as footsteps, door handles, wind or background noise – are captured in high quality. Any unwanted noise sources are minimised by adjusting microphone angles or repeating specific sounds if necessary.
After recording, the material is reviewed to ensure that the real sound is clear, natural and can be used directly in post-production. A well-executed recording of diegetic sound reduces the need for artificial sound effects and ensures a more realistic and nuanced sound experience in the finished video.
