Why We’re Awesome for Producers
Why We’re Awesome for Audio Engineers
Our five oversized rooms are truly floated, voice-matched, and have identical signal flows, starting with a 416 or U 87 connected to a John Hardy M-1 mic pre, and digital there-on out.
Why We’re Awesome for Actors
Our location is convenient no matter where you live in LA, with a parking lot just thirty steps south of our entrance at Western and Russell (behind the Baskin-Robbins). We also have metered parking right out front. Inside, we have oversized voiceover rooms with comfortable chairs and a huge lobby with a full kitchen.
Studio Awesome is happy to offer a new service that helps all working voice actors. If you want to update an existing demo with new material—or create a new demo from scratch—this cost-effective service is for you. Please contact brooklyn@studioawesome.la for more information.
The Staff
Mike Gullickson
Mike knows what ad agencies, studios, and actors need for a remote v/o session to run smoothly. In 2001, Mike moved out to LA to help start and run Patches Sound, one of the first ISDN-only voiceover studios. Since then, Mike has engineered over 8,000 ISDN sessions. Mike believes that in addition to great rooms and the ability to move at least one fader up and down, prep is what separates Studio Awesome sessions from the competition: When clients dial in, the talent is set up with scripts in hand, the levels are adjusted, reference viewed, and we’re ready to work.
Josiah Kosier
Version 2.0. Stronger, faster, and with deeper engineering capabilities, Josiah continues the tradition of providing excellent service to our clients and talent. Josiah was the Head Engineer and Studio Manager at Patches Sound from 2015 to 2017, and is equally happy running an ADR session, 5-mic, or catching up with actors and clients. A talented music producer and engineer, Josiah’s work has been heard on TV shows and he has produced multiple tracks with signed artists. Go ahead, make the session complicated. Josiah’s got you covered.
COVID-19
Studio Awesome is SAG and LA County Health Department Approved!
Studio Awesome has instituted protocols with strict adherence to CDC, SAG, and LA County Health Department guidelines. These protocols are centered on social distancing, disinfecting, and reducing all points of potential transmission.
- Studio Awesome is a freestanding building. There is no elevator or shared space with other businesses.
- Masks are mandatory for both the actors and staff. The actor can remove their mask when they’re in the voiceover booth.
- There are no group reads and no waiting in the lobby. If actors are working in sequence, we will text them when the lobby and voiceover booth are disinfected and available.
- Disposable masks, disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizer are located throughout our lobby, bathroom, and in all voiceover booths.
- We disinfect all touch points before an actor arrives and after they leave, including copy stand pencils, highlighters, and the pop screen.
- We are never in direct contact with the actor. After disinfecting our hands and while wearing a mask, we set up the microphone — and print out the scripts — in advance of the actor’s arrival. We will provide contracts, but it’s up to the actor or their agent to return them to the client.
- Two of our four open rooms have their own entrance. A 6’5” partition provides actors isolated access to the other two rooms.
- Actors can use our disinfected headphones, their headphones, or go headphone-less.
