ISDN and Source-Connect Explained for Voice Actors
February 5, 2008
As explained in a new article penned by voice artist Jennifer Vaughn at VoiceOverXtra.com, ISDN – or Integrated Services Digital Network – and Source-Connect are tools that allow two-way, high fidelity, real time communication and recording from a home studio to high-end studios, stations and networks elsewhere, all over the world.
“With an ISDN connection, it’s like being right in the client’s studio,” explains Jennifer Vaughn, author of the article, “What Are ISDN and Source-Connect? Do I Need Them?”
In this process, the voice actor records and transmits in real time, while receiving direction from the external studio. However, these high-tech tools involve rather costly equipment and monthly subscription charges (ISDN) or software (Source-Connect).

And it’s been mentioned before, but if all you need is phone patch (meaning you’ll record locally and send the audio some other way), then Skype will be your best friend.
I’ve found that ISDN was totally worth the money spent on it. I think that it opens your variety of business. Clients don’t always have recording studios to work in, some don’t mind when you work from your own studio and some even prefer if you go in and work with their people. Either way, it allows you to adjust your rates for you being your own recording engineer and eventually could lead to more money in your pocket.
