I have recorded voiceovers for radio and television a few times at Post City and it has always been a pleasure and a completely professional experience. They owners just completed a huge addition to their studio so now not only is it filled with more state of the art equipment that allows them to accommodate many different types of projects. In the east section of the studio is the more grand entrance where clients are welcomed with high ceilings, comfortable and stylish decor and a brand new kitchen to allow them to feel at home should they be working long hours there with the engineers, as is often necessary. To your immediate right is a mixing studio with a screen equivalent in size, visual clarity and most importantly thx and dolby certified mixing capabilities, like you would find in most modern movie theatres. It is in this studio where the larger, big budget, motion picture projects take place. Any production and directorial staff involved will feel very cozy in the couches that sit behind a spectacular console that as stated above is a cut above the rest, and looks (when all lit up) like youre manning the Starship Enterprise. (i truly believe that it is because of stuff like this that engineers decide to become sound experts in the first place.) On the same wing (if you will) of Post City you will find a small yet open room where you might take the time for a discussion away from the recording studio to hash out ideas or what have you. It is equipped with windowed sliding doors so you don't feel claustrophobic. A further step inwards towards the centre of the studio and youll find an engineer toiling away in a smaller, yet still comfortable room geared towards the post production of shows requiring, perhaps more basic needs like reality programming. Finally on the other side (wing!), which has it's own entrance you will find a lovely bar adorned with celebratory bottles of wine Post City has accumulated from wrap up parties/sessions for television productions they round out. Look on the walls and many signed movie posters of their projects adorn it, as well as a shelf with a few Genie Awards too. It is here where I have done the voiceover sessions. This section also has a large screen, excellent sound capability and consoles, that are geared towards the technical needs of dramatic/comedic, probably indie production projects and commercials. One popular program that this studio takes care of is Little Mosque on the Prairie. Adjacent to this smaller mixing space, is a small sound booth where looping, adr, voiceovers for programming and voiceover artists reels can be done. Feel free to grab some refreshments in this area as well, as it is equipped with its own beer fridge and microwave. The best thing about Post City, in addition to its knowledgeable and affable staff is its affordability coupled with its state of the art production facilities, and that is not only in terms of machinery but also in terms of personnel like Sound Dogs, a great company in their own right, who lie at the forefront of post production sound creation. Pino Halili and Allan Ormerod are the diligent and progressive owners and they make it their mission to provide the best service and product at great value. read more
