Multi-Actor Recording

If you have a script with multiple parts, there is a simple, yet underused way to get an outstanding performance: Record with multiple actors in the same room. Few places will arrange this for you, but we love to do it. Avoid that “not quite right” sound that plagues voice projects patched together from individual recording sessions. Instead, have interactions between your characters that sound authentic, lively, clever, heartfelt, or funny. Do you want overlapping dialogue with characters talking over each other like actual people do? Easily done.

Multiple actor sessions are a little trickier to price because it depends on your script and the parts. But if you contact us and share your script, we will give you a quote. A few example projects are shown below to give you a rough idea of costs:

  • Example 1: A 700-word script with one scene including 3 characters – $340
  • Example 2: A 10,000-word script that is 70% monologue with a main character, 30% interaction between main character and one other “sidekick” character – $1335
  • Example 3: A 5,000-word script with many short scenes involving various interactions between 6 characters – $1410

We figure out how we can efficiently schedule actors to record your script, and that determines the cost. We will also look for ideas to reduce cost, (e.g. use one actor for more than one part) if that’s your priority.

The Process

Here are the typical steps for delivering a great voice performance to you:

  1. You send us your script, description of the parts needed, and optionally, names of actors you are interested in using.
  2. Within 1 business day, we provide you a quote, and verify you wish to proceed.
  3. Within 3 business days, we send you audition recordings for the parts.
  4. You tell us who you’d like to cast and provide payment.
  5. We commit to a delivery date and record with the actors in one or more scheduled sessions, typically just one session on the Wednesday of the following week.
  6. We edit and deliver the final audio to you via a Dropbox link.

You can decide after hearing the auditions if you want to continue with us, and pay nothing if you don’t. Audition recordings we send to you are not intended for use outside of your evaluation, and are “watermarked” to avoid inappropriate use.

Next Steps

Please contact us by email at info@seespacelabs.com and tell us your needs. We’ll be wanting to know word count and some info about the parts you want to cast. Or just say “hello,” and we’ll take it from there.
