Speech for Broadcast

Donald Macleod presenting Composer of the Week for BBC Radio 3The Classical Recording Company’s purpose-built speech studio provides the ideal location for speech recording of between one and three voices. Regularly used by the BBC, it has all the facilities you would expect in terms of talk-back and cuing, and is tie-lined to both of our SADiE equipped post-production suites for direct to disk recording.

We also have high-quality equipment for recording speech on location, indoors or outdoors, as well as comprehensive rigs for location drama work.

One new development is remote production; by integrating voice-over-IP into our comms equipment, the producer may do his/her job from anywhere with a PC and broadband connection. This could be from their office, at home, or even on the beach! - [REMOTE PRODUCTION]

Case Study: Composer of the Week

For more than five years, The Classical Recording Company has been recording the speech links for the long-running strand “Composer of the Week”, broadcast each weekday lunchtime on BBC Radio 3. Although the programme is produced in Cardiff by BBC Wales, its presenter Donald Macleod is a resident in North London and it is more convenient to record the speech links in our Kentish Town speech studio. This also guarantees consistent speech quality and is more cost effective than booking studios in Broadcasting House.

We also provided location speech facilities when COTW went on location to Paris for a week of programmes, as well as working on a variety of other Cardiff based output such as “Discovering Music”.
