Curt Palmer left a comment on Ask a Casting Director

"Hi Lani! The info you provide is great. My thing is documentaries. Is there necessarily a different process that's followed to cast voice talent for documentaries vs., say, straight commercial/promo spots?"

Curt Palmer left a comment for Will Lyman

"Will- Documentary VO is what I want most to do. I believe yours is the quintessential documentary voice. And, since I don't have your voice, I'll need all the knowledge, ideas and help I can find. In the meantime, I find inspiration in what you have…"

Curt Palmer commented on Rodney Saulsberry's video

"Agree with the "off mic" approach. I use this in the radio broadcasting that I do and it's very effective in avoiding plosives. Thanks for the tips, Rodney."

Thanks, Brian. Start to finish was about 3 months. That's elapsed time, not actual hours. If I had to guess number of actual hours worked, it would probably be in the area of 100-120 hours.

I had to frame the concrete walls so I could put up drywall. With all materials (studs, drywall, insulation, flooring, paint, fixtures, ceiling grid and tiles, acoustic treatments, materials/tools, etc.) the total was around $1,200 - $1,500. That doesn't include any labor (all mine!) nor does it include any of the equipment directly related to recording).

Hope this is helpful to you. Good luck with your upgrade and please let me know if there's anything you think I could help with.

Studio looks great Curt. How long did it take you? Did you build it yourself? Im looking to (hopefully) upgrade mine here soon.
