When Should You Process Your Audio—and When Should You Leave It Clean?

Description:
This week on The Pro Audio Suite, we’re tackling a topic that trips up a lot of voice talent: processed voice over.

What does “processing” really mean when a client asks for it? Should you send your files squeaky clean, lightly polished, or fully mastered? And how do you avoid overcooking your audio before it even hits the mix?

George Whittam, Robert Marshall, Andrew Peters, and Robbo break it all down, including:
🎙️ What basic processing actually involves
🔊 The difference between a gentle clean-up and heavy-handed treatment
📂 How to ask the right questions so you deliver exactly what your client expects
🎧 Why your environment matters more than your plugins

Ever watched Spider-Man swinging across the city and heard crowds gasping, yelling, or whispering in the background? Those voices don’t record themselves—loopers do that. In this episode, we meet voice actors who specialize in looping and learn how they bring background scenes to life.
They share stories from the studio, tips for aspiring loopers, and insights into why this small community is so important to every production.

🎤 In This Episode:

• What is looping, and why does Hollywood rely on it?

• How loopers are cast and directed

• The difference between looping, ADR, and Foley

• How voice matches work

• Why looping is hard to break into—and why it’s worth it

• The impact of AI on this specialized craft
