Voiceover project
Summary
For an upcoming TV ident media project, I need to record a short voiceover lasting around 10 seconds.

Microphone: SM58
I'll use the SM58 to record the voiceover because it's great for recording vocals.
ADR / Commentary
Summary
I'll recreate dialogue for a short TV episode, like a soap opera for example. I'll also need to create sound effects for the scene. I'll use a similar setup as my ident foley described below.

Music Recording
Fleetwood Mac's Landslide
Summary
I'll record a multitrack recording cover of Fleetwood Mac's Landslide.
Vocals -
I'll use an AKG 414 C to record the vocals, which is good for female vocals. I'll be adding some reverb later on in Cubase.
Acoustic guitar - I'll use two pencil microphones to record the acoustic guitar. I'll aim each microphone at the sound hole of the guitar from each side.
Foley
Summary
For my ident, as well as a voiceover I will need some sound effects, recreated using foley. While I could use a rubix cube to create sounds, since the cube I will be recreating will appear to be made from a mixture of glass and metal, I have chosen to recreate the sound of metal using foley. I'll probably scrape metal cutlery against each other to create this sound. I may also use some reverb to give the feel of an empty room to the sound effect.

The AKG is great for recording high frequency sounds. It is for this reason I have picked the microphone. While a condenser microphone might be desired for higher quality sound, there is none available that picks up the sound as well as the AKG.

Due to problems with the recording studio I have chosen to use a Shure SM58 microphone. This will still pick up sound well however, and like the AKG, is a dynamic microphone. Therefore, the high sound pressure levels are less likely to damage the microphone.
I may use a pop cap. This will stop the audio from being picked up too loudly and clipping.
Track 1 summary: I used the sound of a paperclip dropping onto a table for a sound effect. I then reversed the recording, which i thought created an interesting sound.
Track 2 summary: I scraped a metal knife and fork against each other. This created the sound of metal grinding against itself which I thought would be a great way of making the sound of a rubix cube turning.
