Radio Recording Process

After scripting my radio trailer, I first browsed through free online sound effects and royalty free music sites in order to source all of the non original sounds which I would need to fill out my radio trailer. When it came to recording audio, I made sure to read through the script multiple times beforehand and to have it in front of me during recording, so that I made sure that I followed the tips for mood and intonation in. the script. I also made sure that I recorded in a small and isolated room, so that no other background noises were recorded and so that the audio levels would record properly. Once the lines had all been recorded and uploaded to Final Cut Pro, I listened through them all in order to make any adjustments I needed to, such as altering sound levels and cutting out any audio around the necessary line. Once all of the lines had been finished, I was able to combine them and recut them in order to fit into my radio trailer, which I then exported as two master files, one fully audio WAV file for radio work and a video and audio mp4 version for uploading to YouTube.
