Studio & Equipment
I record the bulk of my work right here in my broadcast-quality, professional home studio. The following is the equipment I use in my studio and the options I have to connect with you, should you wish you to direct or record me remotely.
MICROPHONESThe Neumann TLM 103 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone with cardioid pattern and my main mic. Neumann mics are industry standard in both commercial recording and pro home studios.
I also own the Apogee MiC for auditions while traveling.
AUDIO INTERFACE & EDITINGThe audio chain can get very complicated very quickly! That's why I like to keep things simple. It allows me to focus on your project and giving a quality performance.
I use a Focusrite Scarlett Solo as my interface. This converts the analog audio signal to digital and goes into my Mac. I use TwistedWave as my DAW (Digital Work Station) for editing and voila! I can deliver your finished file via Dropbox, FTP or E-Mail. It's simple, efficient and professional. REMOTE RECORDING & DIRECTINGI love working directly with my clients. You can direct me remotely via Skype, Zoom or even over the phone. If you have a studio and want me to patch in where your engineer can record me remotely, my studio is equipped with Source Connect Now and ipDTL--which allows studio quality, two-way communication across the internet, with no special equipment needed. You only need the Google Chrome Web Browser. (ipDTL can even connect with ISDN lines!) I can easily connect with you anywhere in the world!
ACCOUSTICSThe best audio equipment in the world won't make up for a bad recording environment. I have an acoustically treated vocal booth (Whisper Room™) that blocks outside noise and produces professional, clean audio. My studio has been has been evaluated and calibrated by George Whittam-- considered globally to be the top authority in voice-over recording technology and whose clients include the late Don LaFontaine, Bill Ratner, Randy Thomas, Joe Cipriano, and me!

John Carroll's talent and professionalism is equal to his passion. Over the years, I have worked with few people that have his level of dedication for seeing a project to completion and making it the best it can be using the resources available. When reflecting on his theatrical background and indy film endeavors, it is clear that John is someone who possess every facet needed for any task. I know from first-hand experience that when he is provided an opportunity, he will be one of the most vital contributors.
