Alex Lacey

Winner of a Northern Writers' Award for fiction. Time-served singer-songwriter; solo and in bands. Mix and mastering engineer . . . and other similar crimes . . . which now includes trying my hand at voice acting and completing the production of an audio/radio drama I have written. I'll be bringing the same professionalism and dedication to voice acting that I have brought to my writing, music, woodworking and other pursuits.

TRACKING PERFORMANCES:

I have various rooms I use for tracking voices and instruments, and I can ensure you a clean capture of all vocal takes to be selected from and included within your project. However, auditions may be subject to some background ambience - which WILL NOT be present on takes sent for projects I have been cast in.

.

For plosives and siblance I use a pop filter/shield, as most do. And to help even further, I place a pencil across the diameter of the pop filter and, as a result, the microphine's diaghragm, to break the airflow and further soften siblance and plosives.

.

(If you happen to reading this and are only just learning this pencil trick, feel free to let me know! And I hope you're a nerd like me and get a kick out of the difference it makes haha.)

.

DEFAULT TRACKING SETTINGS:

Sample Rate: 48kHz

Bit Depth: 24bit

Volume Peaks: My loudest parts will be in the -10 to -12 dB range

.

All of which I am able to alter according to your requirements.

.

All the very best with the projects you are creating or wishing to be a part of.
