Imagine you have problems when recording your audio. The barking dog. The lawnmower. The bird just outside your window. The baby crying. The thunderstorm. All of those distractions. All of those sounds that bust your good take. Think about it.
Now imagine all of that sound going on, and there is silence inside your home recording studio. All of the sounds that are unacceptable to your recording; silenced!
Enter Keith Dwyer from Park City, Utah. A voice-over artist that has changed that negative dynamic. Keith has developed a home sound booth that omits most unwanted sounds that ruin your good take. "It's not guaranteed, but it'll knock down the sound distraction by 30 decibels," says Keith. "It'll allow you to record in complete quiet, "most" of the time."

Voice over artist Keith Dwyer showcasing
a custom-made sound booth.
Devised after having problems overcoming noisy distractions himself, Voice Suite is a portable, modular recording booth created in Utah and then shipped to you for in-home assembly. And Keith talks you through the assembly. "It's built sort of like a LEGO in that it snaps together with (6) screws in the back, (6) screws in the front, and (4) on the roof," he says.
Voice Suite sound booths are made to order and feature high-quality construction and easy setup.
The sound booth is constructed of ¼-inch plywood, laminated glass, 2" acoustic foam, 1" architect foam, and KILMAT, a proprietary sound deadening material that prevents sound waves from entering the enclosed space. Sizes range from a 2 X 3, 4 X 4, 4 X 3 and 6 X 6. And prices start at $1,900, with free shipping. It prices a full $1500-$2000 lower than the competition. Each booth is built to custom order. And the client can expect in-home delivery within 3-4 weeks.

But the sound booths are not just for voiceover artists. Buyers have also included podcasters, singers, students of music, and autistic children who need a quiet place to calm their thoughts. "It's super quiet once installed," says Keith, "and because it's modular, you can move it to any place in your home, or to an office, or to a garage…so it is not permanent construction."
Keith started the business in June of last year, and the runaway business idea has taken Keith from working alone to a team of (6) employee craftsmen who work out of a warehouse. "And that's a big move from starting alone, in a storage shed, believe me." So far, he has constructed over a hundred, and business is brisk. "I was in the hospital when the first order came in two weeks into the website posting, and the next day I had another order," says Keith, "It just took off."
Each Voice Suite sound booth is hand-constructed and then
shipped directly to customers for in-home setup and use.
Keith got started because "I always loved woodworking and using my hands," he says, "so this evolution of me going from voice over to construction for voice over artists was a natural thing to take place." His wife advised him to try and sell the booth he built for himself, and the first customer appeared in two weeks.
So, if you're encountering a sound problem and would like to learn more, contact Keith at his website. There will be no voicemail, no receptionist, no assistant, and no secretary to answer your questions. You'll be talking directly to Keith.
And Keith returns phone calls and emails, In most cases, on the same day. This I can attest to because that was my experience, and I'm just a writer.
