#ThrowbackThursday to building my new studio 🤗. My first studio was a sound-treated cupboard under stairs in my one-bedroom flat. They weren't even my stairs. They belonged to my very heavy-footed upstairs neighbour 🙈. So, when I moved house, I was very excited to be able to convert a WHOLE ROOM into a studio 🥳. My Dad and I did all the work together. He's an engineer who used to build aeroplanes, so, you know, he's pretty nifty at putting stuff together 😄. I researched proper sound-proofing and sent him all my ideas. He did his own research and turned the project into a beast. "I'm up for this", he said 😁. We spent three days building false de-coupled sound-proof walls within the original walls. We installed a triple-glazed acoustic window behind the original window. We made our own acoustic panels with leftover soundproof insulation. My Mum, meanwhile, turned the garden into something like Chelsea Flower Show 🌷🌹🌻🌼. They're not in this picture, because they'd hate to be on Linkedin, but they're there, working their asses off to help me out. It's tough to make your dreams come true on your own. So hats off to all those people who muck in and help. Who will drive 200 miles with a power saw, a trowel and a plan. Who are always there when you need them 🥰. #voiceactor #voiceover #recordingstudio #audioproduction

I love this Victoria. Something wonderful about doing things yourself and even better with help from your Dad. My Dad passed 2008 but when he was able he was always there to help.

Oh, I understand! I live in a house that backs onto a busy county road. Even though I use noise suppression software, when a muffler-less car or motorcycle goes by - along with garbage trucks and utility vehicles - I have to stop recording and start again. 🙄 Glad you have a brand-new studio!
