Practitioner interview 2 with session singer, voice-over artist and sound technician.

I introduced our product ideas to Callum Mcintosh who is a session singer and voice-over artist and sound technician. We asked him a few questions about our product (audio below).

What I learnt:
Tips on making a professional radio trailer:
- The narrator should be the main voice in the trailer and should sound confident.
- Music should be included as it builds tension
- Good quality audio should be used.
- The voice should tell a story without any tone of voice.
- Voices are stereotypically low male voices.

The equipment that should be used when making a radio trailer:
-Q base, logic, Apple Mac System Software.
-Condenser microphone, keyboards
- Omnidirectional microphones instead of unidirectional microphones as we want to pick up the closest sounds.
- We should use a pop shield which softens the voice

Editing tips
- Short and snappy.
-Direct.

How I will implement it into my production process:
As there is stereotypical male voice-over, we can try and include a female in our radio trailer.
I can use the software called Logic Pro X to edit and record my radio trailer on. Our radio trailer should try and tell a story but not give away the whole narrative.
We have a condenser microphone and pop shield so we can use this to record our voice-overs. ---->
