Richard,

Thank you for your reply. I understand the point your making about recording the final audio tracks and skipping scratch. The main reason I am factoring in re-recording audio is to allow for some iteration on the dialog. Often times my dialog looks good on paper and then through rehearsal it might not be working out as intended. I will be doing the voice acting myself… Your point still stands to a degree, If I run through the dialog a few times and get closer to final dialog with high quality recording it minimizes the amount of ADR needed. And gives me a more solid footing to get some animation against it.

I also think its important within reason to allow for dialog and animation changes based on how they both gel together, often times when reviewing animation and dialog together its clearer to see how improvements can be made to both.

I understand this might sound like I could get caught in a repetitive cycle of iteration… But I am anxious to get it done to a high quality.

Your additional points are really good and I think it brings me back to reality in terms of the best equipment doesn’t guarantee quality… As I said earlier in the post I will be doing the v.o. myself, I am a bit of a man of a thousand accents, I am relatively confident in my ability to get good takes. But it is part of the challenge I am setting for myself.

I have researched acoustic foam solution and I am not 100% decided on whether to treat the production space or build a small booth..

Thanks
