How NoStairway fit into the definition of the word Recording Studio
According to the dictionary the word recording means ‘Something on which sound or visual images have been recorded’ while studio stands for ‘An establishment where an art is taught or studied’.

How do I get into voice over?
We’ve been asked this question on several occasions – “my friends say I have a nice voice, how do I get into voice over?” Well, let me tell you. In short, you don’t, or should I say, you can’t. Voice over studios often jealously guard any good voice over artist they have because they know [...]

What’s so great about running a recording studio?
Running a recording studio seems, on the face of it, a pretty cool job, and it often is. One of the most pleasurable aspects is the amount of interesting artists and music we get to encounter close up. We record a lot of singers and often it’s like having your own private concert for free. [...]
