Re: Voice-over: conventions of the genre

HI
Im sure every csutomers requirements may be different, but if youre
1) talking about taking these recordings and using them as a broadacst product, then yes some but not all of the list will apply. Def not normalise if youre going to braodcast it. Youll have to submit to braodvasters at the right level and this is not normalised.
2) If youre recording and then handing them on toa customer, I d find out what they want as it will differ every time.

3) If youre suppplying to a studio to build into a commercial or programme, then NONe of your list.
I wouldnt thank you for doing anything to a recording (not even applying eq at the mic) unless it was chronically bad, and even then id expect this to be fixed before recording anything. Same goes for the artist drifting off mic! Do it again if its audible.
No eq, no compression , no normalizing. Just record well. Ill process as applicable in the final mixdown.
