Warm, authoritative, loaded with grit. Let’s go!

Ever hear a voice so interesting, so compelling, that you want to keep following that person down the street just to hear them talk? (OK, sorry, that just sounded a little stalker-ish.)

We had the internet version of that scenario the first time we heard Jeff Williams in a promo spot.  It was like, “Hey, wait, what? Who is that guy?  Must hear more!”  And, long story short, today we’re super psyched to welcome Jeff as the newest addition to the SPLAT! VO family!

He’s a cool Texas baritone with a warm, authoritative, and instantly likeable vibe.  Best part?  He’s available for your station now.  Check his demo, and if you like what you hear you can book Jeff Williams here.

Hardware??? Oh, Yeahhhh, It’s All Coming Back to Us Now

Let’s face it, we spend so much time using software that we’ve forgotten how fun some hardware can actually be.  Seriously, who doesn’t love holding a really cool piece of gear that feels great in your hand and is fun to use?  And BONUS if it’s actually effective and helps with your creative flow.

Enter the new TASCAM DR-40XP.  (Just look at that beauty in the pic below.)  Lucky for us, a guy who knows more about recording sound than anybody else we know, Robert Dudzic, has the 411 on the 40XP.  Go on, keep reading…

In What’s New:

My friends at TASCAM have just introduced the new TASCAM DR-40XP, and this is a tool that fits perfectly into modern radio imaging and on-location production workflows.

The DR-40XP continues TASCAM’s legacy of compact, reliable field recorders, giving you a powerful 4-track recording system in a device small enough to carry anywhere. For radio imaging producers, this means one thing: you’re no longer limited by your studio.

At the core of this recorder is high-quality audio capture, (more…)

Awesome Imaging + Fantastic Voiceover!

A passable voiceover with average production isn’t the goal for most radio stations when it comes to their branding and imaging. Nor, of course, should it be!  But awesome imaging coupled with Fantastic Voiceover? Now you’re talking.  That’s what brings the station sound together!  And that’s why we’re proud to work with, and feature in our production, a wide array of wildly talented imaging voices…including stars like Neil Wilson and his Fantastic Voiceover! Or to be more precise, “FANTasTic VOICEoveR…!!!”

How to describe Neil?  Let’s try this: “From flat-out exuberance to forthright honesty, Neil is the guy next to you at the game to the guy next door- your buddy and your bro, there when you need him. A direct and no-nonsense engagement style, making your station sound both friendly and highly functional. If you love ad-libs, then Neil is your guy.”  You can hear him on cool stations like WMMM, KALC, KKGO, WMC, WSTR, WDAF, KBEA, WKYL, WOWY, and many more.  You can hear his demos here.  And if you want to know more about working with Neil, you can always send a message here.

The Art of Eavesdropping on Electricity

When it comes to radio imaging and production FX, the right sound can flip the ordinary into unforgettable. Enter Robert Dudzic, legendary sound designer, creative sonic scientist, and master of audio elevation. In this session, he cracks open the TASCAM FR-AV4 and ATOME, showing how invisible sounds can become powerful weapons in your production arsenal.

In what’s new:

TASCAM FR-AV4 + ATOME | Sound Design with Electromagnetic Field

Sound Design: Creative Cinematic FX for Film, TV & Video Games

I’m excited to share my brand-new video where I explore two powerful tools for sound design: the TASCAM FR-AV4 field recorder and the ATOME electromagnetic field sensor + contact microphone.

What’s in the Video

In this video, you’ll see me in action recording inside a machine shop, using these devices to capture unique textures, from electromagnetic field tones to the raw resonance of industrial machines. I’ll walk you through how these tools work and show how they can open up new creative possibilities for cinematic sound design. (more…)
