DIY sound booth

Cutting costs is good, as long as you get what you want... I am working on a client video with a discount, and have no budget for voice over. Actually they wanted my own voice, so I draped my bathroom shower cabin in sheets and some cushions and brought the Röde NTG-2 shotgun microphone and my Fostex audio recorder and started. It worked pretty well.

Sound easily echoes if there are hard walls, so the idea was to drape every possible area with textile, including the ceiling and floor. I still noted some echo in the base tones, but it was hardly distinguishable and I was lucky to have quiet neighbors at the moment. So I was pretty satisfied with my D.I.Y sound booth.
