Once your Master Copy is approved, you’ll move on to recording the individual dynamic variations. This process requires attention to several key details:
Maintaining Natural Speech Patterns
- Record complete sentences wherever possible
- Include natural pauses between line segments
- Ensure smooth transitions between different variations
Special Considerations for Different Types When recording specific types of dynamic content:
- Weather-related lines need appropriate default options
- Location-specific content requires careful pronunciation checking
- Date-dependent content must include fallback options
Managing Long Recording Lists For extensive dynamic content (such as location listings):
- Break recordings into manageable blocks of 10-20 items
- Maintain consistent energy and pacing throughout
- Schedule regular reference checks against the Master Copy
- Plan for pronunciation verification and re-records as needed
Technical Deliverables
To ensure smooth implementation, studios need to provide several key components:
Master Reference
- A complete mix of the client-approved longest version
- Includes all sound effects and music
- Serves as a timing and tone reference
Individual Audio Components
- Separated clips for each line of dialogue
- Precise edits with no silence at starts or ends
- Clearly labelled according to the script numbering system
Production Elements
- Sound effects cut to exact lengths
- Music beds properly trimmed
- All elements labelled to match script references
Technical Specifications
- WAV format preferred (MP3 acceptable if required)
- Consistent levels across all audio components
- Clean, artifact-free recordings
