Interview with Sound Designer & Studio Owner, John McClain - Part 2
John McClain knows a thing or two about sound. For one thing, he's the owner and lead sound designer/mixer at The Dog and Pony Show in Las Vegas, Nevada (https://www.dogandponystudios.net/). For another, he won a Grammy for his work with the late, great George Carlin, and an Emmy for his work with HBO on the series 24/7, his work with PBS on the show Outdoor Nevada and his mix of the documentary African Americans: The Las Vegas Experience. If that's not enough, he teaches a class in Tech for voice talent through the Voice Actors Studio - https://www.thevoiceactorstudio.com/ - owned by Melissa Moats (https://www.ladyluckvoiceovers.com/ - another fantastic voice talent in Vegas) and another course on Sound for Film at UNLV. The second part of our discussion covered a bunch more topics like:Voice actors and editors need to pay attention to the tempo of a scriptHow sound that's inconsistent or simply not good, can make a person turn away without knowing whyInformation on a book John uses in his course called The Sonic Boom (https://www.amazon.com/Sonic-Boom-Sound-Transforms-Think/dp/0544570162)How sound allows you to time travelWhen he first became conscious of sound and began to love itHow architecture has its own soundSome information on his latest sound design projectsMore information on his podcast, VO Inertia (https://anchor.fm/voinertia) Dog and Pony Show can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/DogandPonyStudios/ and on Twitter at @DnPSound This episode was very skillfully made to sound beautiful by the talented Humberto Franco (http://www.humbertofranco.com/).
