i always love how the "producers, writers and directors" have a meeting amongst themselves with you on the line...like, HEY!!!... you didn't talk this out BEFORE we start the session!!!
Appreciate U taking us along. Always helps 2 bring clarity when on unfamiliar ground 2 C what actually happens behind the scenes. I was glad 2 hear them accept your suggestion. Thanks.
Those are my booth freakies! I have a whole collection. Some are scary - some are cute. One is a Fraggle from Fraggle Rock. There's even a VooDoo doll on the other side. Booth walls are boring. Booth Buddies give the voices in my head someone to talk to!
I really love watching this in the element. I'm just now learning the ins and outs to learn what I don't know- which I don't know :p . I feel like we are weirdo sisters. Fellow former NYer >transplanted elsewhere. Your personality is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you! This helps enormously! This was nearly 10 years ago - has the tech in the booth updated so you're working on a shared doc or something? Or using a tablet or something in the booth (instead of paper)? As someone with an at-home booth, I'm currently working on getting the hardware right to do these directed sessions - so the client can hear and not just me :) I wonder if you have videos on that type of setup needed?
It's pretty much the same - only a few tweaks. I have a monitor in the booth that duplicates my desktop. So I can see my email, recording software, zoom, scripts etc. A wireless mouse and keyboard in the booth make it all accessible. I do still print many scripts because clients LOVE to make changes on the fly and it's easier to write them in by hand. For directed sessions: the majority are Source Connect now. I rarely use Ipdtl anymore. Zoom, Google Meets, or any other browser-based conferencing; I have a set of over-the-ear headphones (to prevent bleed) that have an adapter connection that allows me to plug them into my iPhone. I join the event via my phone. This frees up my computer to record and not have my DAW and Zoom or what have you - fight for mic/video control. That's pretty much it. Easy.
Have you ever had any problems when there’s a fast tv or radio spot, and you eat up words along the way. It’s so frustrating for me. I just want to know what you suggest. ?
Do those two "freaky looking" dolls give you inspiration? Or fortify you against tough clients? Like "You can't scare me. I face these terrifying little bastards through the whole session!" You're tough Gabby.
Correct. However, Sessions are rarely paid by the hr. Most bookings are a flat - pre-agreed rate based on the job. This session literally took 10 minutes.
@@gabriellenistico I appreciate you answering right away. One more thing. I'm just getting started with "proper" voice acting. Everything I've ever done was on Fiverr and it was done usually in my favor. How do you determine who's in control of how you get paid? Is it based on whoever makes the approach? Remember, I'm from Fiverr and I'm used to the client paying immediately, sending a script, I perform the script within the time listed on the gig, send it to the client, they approve it, then the money is released to me by the website. The other day I tried to do it this way with some dude doing a music video without my Fiverr page and it just made him angry after negotiating back and forth on a price. (I have my own rate, but he didn't seem to care for it, but we did settle on a price.) Apparently had his own team that does rates and approvals (or... something) and he wanted me to sign some legal document which I've never had to do before. -And I just wanted to get to the part where he paid me to start, and then I did it, but we couldn't even agree on how to start so I decided not to do it, too complicated compared to what I'm used to. This was much easier when I dubbed my own voice in a masked costume, ya digg?
@@AwpWilliams complicated question - too many variables to consider. Typically however you'd sign an agreement and send a w9. For a new client you might request payment up front, however most companies have a vendor payment policy or 30, 45, 60 or 90 days. So you have to ask a lot of questions and in some cases hold a credit card in case of a failure to pay. It's all basic accounting / accounts receivable stuff.
I actually like the camera adjust while you're getting adjusted and connected. Like a reality show/documentary. Turned out well.

I'm so thankful you are showing & allowing me to see how this works
This is awesome. Comparing this to my own demo recording, and it's nice to see so many similarities in how everyone interacts!

Really like this one..........shows the ins and outs of the trade. Thanks!!!
Audio in the booth does sound great.
Excellent demo of a real session. Thank you!

Yay! Primary Children’s SLC
Thank you for all your amazing information!
Shocked she touched/moved the microphone. I learned never to do that at a recording studio. She must know them well.
The whispering part got me - XD
The Gabby Nistico Experience, kids! :)

And this kids is ALSO a pickup ! lol
Good stuff

when the mic is tilted forward towards you it gets more sibilant....just saying...
I’m waiting for Rodney Dangerfield to come on and say “ let’s go while were young” . Jk . Great video
So this whole time you're just in the session, even the parts where you're doing nothing is part of the $X/Per hour?

@@gabriellenistico Okay. Thank you so much. I just wanted an opinion from someone who's dealt with it before.
