Recently I launched a brand new series of produced videos all about everything production. How that project GOT going is a story in itself.
In the first video of the series I share the shocking story of my experience in the 2020 Oregon Smoke Storm.
And I how I took a bad situation and made the best of it by setting up a studio in a completely different state.
The morning of the workshop, a circle of singers in Portland were quickly spreading word at which paint stores had N95 masks.. as even inside most of our friends homes, it was hard to breath.
I was only outside 15 minutes to get the mask, but in that amount of time, my voice was wrecked. Speaking at a national conference on vocal work at 1? NOT ideal.
I took a hot shower while I did vocal exercises, did a nasal rinse, drank a HUGE glass of hot tea with honey and lemon and by 1, I could actually use my voice again..
PHEW!! Thankfully vocal repair is one of my areas of expertise(something we’ll cover in the upcoming vocal workshop).
A couple days later, I called my family in Iowa and booked a flight home. At the end of it all, we had nearly 11 days of absolutely insane breathing conditions. I was ready to get this academy and course series rolling and knew I had to get out of that horrible smoke for a couple weeks.
The cool thing about our place in Iowa is that my parents have an RV. So, between the gear I had and stands my Dad and I rigged, along with shop lights, we made a pretty sweet little DIY RV video studio. I got to work there for 2 weeks.
Above is a video where I get to give you a tour of that space. It was a lot of fun to make. And maybe it will inspire you in your studio build outs as well. While I’m back in Oregon now, it was a fantastic spot to record a lot of content for my new production podcast!
Studio production is one of my very favorite things. The good news is if you are also someone looking to learn, THIS is what I do. And there are MORE videos on the channel that will help you learn production and gear.
I mean, why should you buy it and test it out when I already HAVE it and you can go ahead and learn from me. Afterall, that’s the point of having a test kitchen studio.
The NEXT video in the series is out NOW and not only is the production value far better than this first, but it was also filmed in the Iowa RV studio.
