This week on the VO School Podcast, we’re talking technology. Specifically, digital audio workstations or DAWs.

These are the software applications that voice talent use to record and edit. There are many options to choose from and many things to consider when making the choice: What is a DAW? What types of DAWs are there? Which DAW sounds best? How can a DAW speed up your workflow and allow you to get more work done?

Joining me this week are audio engineers and respected audio professionals in the voiceover world, Emmett Andrews and Tim Tippets.

Even if you aren’t technologically minded, this is an important episode for anyone looking to voice from home, as your DAW is one of the most important tools you have in your own studio.
