Task 1 - Production Facilities
- Explain production facilities that are needed
- Include both in-house production outsourced production
- Describe types of spaces and equipment that are needed
- Explain why they are used i.e. voice booth
- Describe use of production music libraries and pre-recorded sound effects
There are a lot of production facilities that are needed in a radio commercial process.
First of all, you would need two spaces, one involving a live lounge or a voice booth, where the actors or the voice artists stand and say the script of the commercial and one for the sound engineers and presenters, i.e. an editing workstation, so that they could edit and put in music and sound effects for their commercials. The editing workstation needs to be quite big spaces for the sound engineers so they could have their computers and their mixing desks so that they could edit and put in music for the commercial. However, the live lounge or the voice booth, is needed to be quite small so that they could only hear the actor or the voice artists voice and no other sound because if it was a rather large room, then more sound might have been heard and could interrupt the voice artist and the whole commercial process because they might have to repeat the whole advert again, so that is why it is needed to be quite a small room.
Secondly, there would need to be an ideal location that the radio commercial could be broadcasted more clearly, so I would recommend somewhere near the middle of London, for example Leicester Square or Piccadilly Circus, where more famous UK radio stations are, like Heart FM and Capital FM, as their radio stations are broadcasted very clearly because there the satellites and transmitters have a clearer signal to broadcast to London and maybe even nationwide.
Thirdly, you would need good soundproofing walls. Soundproofing walls are an excellent way to trap out sound for any neighbours to hear or to trap out sound coming in to the recording booth. Like I said, soundproofing walls would be ideal for voice booths to trap out any excess sound from the outside to interfere with the voice artist saying his lines for the radio commercial and could also mess up the whole radio commercial process as they would have to record the advert again.
This picture would be ideal rooms to have when it comes towards making a radio commercial. In this picture, we see the editing workstation that the sound engineer uses is larger than the voice booth because the voice booth needs to be quite small in the way that less sound would able to be heard except the voice artist who is talking into the microphone and the sound engineer has a larger room because they have more equipment involving 3 computers to help with editing and putting in sound libraries to make it a better advert. You could also see that in the sound engineer's room, there is 2 microphones so that he or she could communicate with the voice over artist telling them to either repeat the advert again or to stop the advert there.

Lastly, you would need appropriate software for the sound engineers to use when it comes to the recording and the adding in of the sound effects. For this, I would choose either Logic Pro or Reaper. Logic Pro is a very good source to use because there are some sound libraries already there to use. Sound libraries are otherwise known as sound effects and the background music that are normally used behind the voice artist's voice to add atmosphere and mood to the advert, for example audience clapping or a DJ scratch. Reaper is another good source to use because it is very straight forward to use and it is not difficult to download sound libraries to add to the commercial.
Outsourced production involves giving your recording to another person, for example a sound engineer or a voice artist to add on sound effects and background music or to add on voice in the background. Outsourced production may also involve you creating a script and giving it to sound engineers to create the whole advert involving background music and voice overs as well
