Welcome to Sounding Great!
Services
Part of Sounding Great is making sure your environment, gear, microphones and voice are doing the best job they can for you.
We offer a professional service that will analyze a recording you provide to us. The result will be we can determine areas in which you can improve your audio.
It may be as simple as gear recommendations, mic placement or environmental fixes to remove frequencies or other noise. We'll also call and discuss with you
For a deeper dive into Audio Production, gear recommendations, set-up of home studio and other advice going beyond the Audio Analysis request, we have our Audio Consulting service.
Whether you're a professional, a hobbyist, a video pro wanting to improve your audio or someone just starting out, we can help.

MICROPHONES
There are thousands of microphones out there and a large number are quite good. What isn’t good is a cheap built-in laptop mic, cheap lavalier mics, cheap headset mics or mics that come built into your monitor.
Ideally, a good condenser mic is the best choice as it has a warmer sound. There are many good USB mics and quite a few decent headset mics.
RECORDING
Yes! We use vMix to stream exactly what viewers are seeing back to you—no need to open up the stream separately.
Note that your own video feed will seem delayed while we're recording live; this is just a side effect of processing video and sending it back to your computer, but your audio and video will play in sync for the audience.
MONITORING
We deploy advanced technologies and monitoring tools to make the task systematic.
Our team has worked with a variety of clients across the globe and know what to look for while monitoring an audio file.
SET UP
We would recommend that you hook up an external webcam and/or microphone to your laptop to ensure good video and audio quality.
LISTENING
Headphones or earbuds are preferable to speakers, as your microphone will probably pick up speaker's output and cause audio feedback.
RECORDING

Questions?
Will I see the show as it's being streamed?
Yes! We use vMix to stream exactly what viewers are seeing back to you—no need to open up the stream separately.
Note that your own video feed will seem delayed while we're recording live; this is just a side effect of processing video and sending it back to your computer, but your audio and video will play in sync for the audience.
Making a good video – eye contact
You’ll be talking with us on the "live" show (see samples of our videos to see what the end result looks like) but during the interview you will be talking to your video camera.
Be sure to look at it occasionally during the interview as that’s how you make “eye contact” with the audience. All our interviews are relaxed, fun conversations. Think of this as a great conversation over dinner or drinks and you’ll do well.
What’s your pre-show ready time?
We will call you via Skype usually 15 minutes before the show recording. This is our pre-show and it’s where we do some light chatting, check audio/video settings, make sure names/titles are correct and review any show specifics before starting the recording.
For any other Inquires
Feel free to get a hold of us prior to the show. See the form above and we’ll get back with you as quickly as possible, or sooner!
Note that our Be a Guest form below also has a questions/comments section.
