Choosing the Space
- Room large enough for distance from background
- Away from traffic and lifts
- Controllable windows or none
- Enough power sockets
- Quiet air conditioning
- Storage for kit
Acoustics
Bare walls cause echo. Acoustic panels, rugs, curtains, and soft furniture reduce reflections. Test by clapping; a sharp echo means more treatment is needed.

When to Outsource Instead
If you need only a few videos a year, or high-end productions, outsourcing is often more cost-effective. Studio types for hire are covered in our earlier video studio production guide. For buying models, see video production service packages; for slang your team will need, see video prod terms.
