Recently I had the opportunity to direct and write the adr script for the English language version of the documentary “The Days of Noah 2: Apocalypse”. It covers the journey of a hong kong group of adventurers who climbed mount Ararat in search of the Ark. Pretty interesting stuff. :-)

Clara, one of the producers was actually on the mountain herself. It was pretty neat to meet one of the people who climbed the mountain and experienced what we were watching in the video – even if she was off camera :-P
Anyway we had a good couple of days in the studio and I would like to thank the producers Yee and Clara and all the talented Voices that worked on the film with me.

Thanks a lot!

Sennheiser MK4 vs AKG 3000B microphone

Posted on by

Here it is as promised,
The shootout between two microphones in a similar price range: the Sennheiser MK4 and the AKG 3000B. Both these mics are large cardiod condenser’s and are quite good for the project or home studio and will service a VO Talent quite nicely. In this narration test, I ran both microphones through a Great River MicPre and recorded the text simultaneously.

I hope this helps out if you find yourself in the market for a new microphone.  As always, though, try a mic before you buy.  :-)

The AKG 3000B:
