Why Audio Production?
Audio content stands out for its ability to connect deeply with audiences, wherever they are. Whether it’s through a podcast, an audio ad, or a branded audio strategy, sound can humanize your message and build a lasting relationships with listeners.
Our Process
Our audio production process is designed to take your project from concept to completion. Starting with a a detailed consultation, we map out your goals, followed by meticulous planning, recording, editing and final publishing. See a detailed breakdown of our process below.
Concept Development
In this initial phase, we collaborate closely with our clients to understand their goals and define the scope of the project. It’s about setting a clear vision. For a large-scale show, this might involve outlining a series that align with a big marketing campaign they’re launching. For a smaller project, it could be as straightforward as defining the theme and target audience for a single episode.
Content Ideation
We brainstorm content ideas, guests, and script outlines that support your ideal concept. This creative session lays the groundwork to ensure you have engaging, relevant content.
Audio Design
We plan the audio landscape, selecting the right music, sound effect, and overall tone that enhances the storytelling. For some shows there is custom-composed music which we hand off to capable partners, but a simple project might use royalty-free music or a database of sound effects and songs.
Recording Sessions
Actual recording of the episode or project, capturing all audio elements, including interviews and narration. This can be in a studio setting for high-budget productions; or recording in a home studio for smaller projects or when scheduling is an issue.
Revision & Enhancement
Also known as pick-ups, this phase focuses on reviewing what’s recorded, making necessary edits, and incorporating feedback to refine. On big projects, there might be multiple rounds of edits with feedback from various stakeholders. A smaller project might only need a few adjustments based on client feedback.
Finalization
Final adjustments are made including mixing to polish the sound perfectly. Larger projects may scope in sound engineering to balance various elements for a dynamic listening experience, while smaller ones focus on basic sound quality & consistency checks.
Publication & Distribution
The completed project is now ready for release! The extent of support at this stage depends on the client’s needs.
