What happens when heavy machinery is being used right outside your sound studio?
Listen to the audio above. You can also read the short article below.
Sometimes you’ve just gotta surrender to events.
As I write this, a massive digger is churning up my driveway.* There’s also the occasional pneumatic drill.
It’s not so much the noise. It’s the vibration that’s the issue.
Have a listen to what the sound-proofing is managing to cut out.
You see what I’m up against?
The electricity keeps getting turned off as the engineers fix a cable. It’s also snowing. This means we have little or no heating.
As you can imagine, it’s a right laugh.
This is in no way conducive to creating ideal working conditions here at the sound studio at Clarke Gables.
So how to handle it?
Have a listen to the audio at the top of the page and find out.
*At this point I’m very glad we didn’t go ahead with the block paving.

I asked a computer to learn the sound of human speech. What happened?
Voiceover and composer Emma Clarke experiments with machine learning.
"Today I’ve received audio that will form the basis of a new piece of music. It was made by neural synthesis. By its nature, it’s unique and (to me at least) precious and extraordinary."
Listen to learn how it was created.

"You're not what I expected. You look nothing like your voice."
Is your ear’s eye lying to you?
How much can we glean about a person, just by listening to their voice?
In this episode I talk about age, perception, prejudice, assumptions…and what facts are relevant (or not) when casting a voiceover.

Episode 5: What does artificial intelligence mean for creatives?
AI is here and it ain't going away any time soon. What does that mean for writers, artists, musicians....voiceovers...whose jobs are being gobbled up by AI?? This is by no means a comprehensive musing - it's the start of an ongoing conversation.
