Morning Folks… You probably don’t know this but I am a big Do It Yourself kinda guy… And I love it when I stumble on a pair of industrious folk like Erik Sheppard and LindZ Reiss of The Voice Talent Production Blog and find them using their brains and a little financial smarts (plus practical knowledge of carpentry and a cutter is always nice) to build themselves a cost effective upgrade to LindZ’s booth setup.
My booth at home is actually a 2 meter by 1 meter rectangular cube monstrosity that I can sit it and narrate to my heart’s content… It’s currently covered with moving blankets held by clamps but I will be making a custom cover with a zipper and possibly some clear plastic so I can see the world outside…. oh and i have a bulb in it… thats how big the sucker is… but the sweet thing about it is that its pvc and I can disassemble it in 5 mintues (8 tops).
Any way here is Erik & LindZ doing their Thang!
Craft Corner: Building A Mini Mic Booth with Erik And LindZ
Voice talent LindZ Reiss is in the process of upgrading her studio and we wanted to put together something similar to the Mic Thing for her to provide a cleaner sound and perhaps a little soundproofing while using a desktop mic stand. I assure you, it was quite romantic. Just to turn the geek level up to 100, we took some pictures to share with you ingrates. We took other pictures too, but I digress. Read More

Hello folks, Thanks for hanging in there… here is the second part of the Interview with Mr. Robert Lee. If you missed the first part of the interview you can find it here.
This interview was made possible by the Kindness of Mr. Lee giving me some of his much sought after time. When I first contacted him he mentioned that he had actually read a post or two on my humble blog and was guided to it via the power of Google Alerts… What follows is the second part and conclusion of my interview with the voice of the Invisible Mythbuster:
Mahmoud Taji:

Greetings and Salutations! As you might have guessed by now you, as Voice Over Talent, are to a Business that is considered a Sole Proprietorship (except if you have partners which some of you do have) . That means you own your own business and in these financially shaky times you have to do things quickly and efficiently to stay afloat and even prosper.
The faster you are at:
- Replying to your clients.
- Sending Auditions
- Sending Quotations
- Doing Post Recording Preperation
- Recording the job
- Invoicing your client
…will put you and your level of professionalism at a level higher than that of the competition. Your efficiency (and work attitude) will keep clients coming back to you over and over because you make their life easier. Read More

Hello folks, I can’t tell you how excited I am to present to you the first part of my interview with one of the most recognized Narrator in the Business Today. It’s very possible that you are already a fan and you don’t know it. If you’ve ever spent more than a few minutes on the Discovery channel you’ve probably heard my guest today Mr. Robert Lee Narrator for the Hit Discovery Channel Series “MythBusters.”
As you might already know Mr. Lee works out of Sydney Australia and I out of Cairo, Egypt so we had to co-ordinate this interview over the interweb over a period of a few weeks. I will be publishing the interview in 2 parts so check your Emporium RSS feed for the latest update of Taji’s Voice Emporium:
In case you have been living under a rock or have had amnesia here is a youtube clip of mythbusters being introduced by Mr. Robert Lee.
Mahmoud Taji:
First I’d like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to conduct this interview… I’m a huge fan of Mythbusters (it appeals to the male gene in me that likes to blow things up) also as a Voice over artist I appreciate all the subtleties that you put in your work with mythbusters.
Lets start at the beginning… I read on a mythbusters fan site that you were born in the UK… moved to North America (spent some time in Canada I believe as well as the states) then moved to Australia… Could you give us a little more detail on your early years and what made your parents move to north America… and why you decided to move to Australia?
