Description
Whether you’re prepping for holiday bookings or staying mobile between gigs, travel-recording as a voice actor doesn’t have to be messy.
In this episode, Marc Scott sits down with Jay Preston to uncover how he and his wife log months on the road, set up portable “pillow-fort” booths, and still deliver broadcast-quality voice work from hotels, cars, Airbnbs, and highways.
Learn how to:
Build a mobile VO booth using blankets, frames & sound blankets
Use tools like Source Connect 4 and reliable hotspots to connect from anywhere
Match your home-studio sound when you’re recording on the go
Choose the right gear for travel (microphones, interface, headsets)
Avoid common pitfalls (echo rooms, hotel closets, unexpected hookup issues)
Whether you travel frequently or just want a robust backup mobile recording setup, this episode gives you actionable tips to stay working no matter where you are.
