Today is Monday and I met up with Elliot Burton, a drama student, who spent an hour and a half reading Shakespeare until we got a recording we were happy with. We use an HHB FlashMic duct-taped to a Mac Pro case for optimal pick-up height.
We made a total of 23 takes, of which, the last four were the best. I now need to review each recording; expect a post to follow regarding audio processing!
