Sound Booth

After researching some quick DIY Sound Booths, I decided to create mine with house hold items I had lying around. Here are the materials I used to create my sound booth.

Items Used: 4 placemats, crate, 2 throw pillows, 2 blankets, 1 cutting board, and 1 dish towel.

After assembling the sound booth ensuring both the inside and outside were insulated. This is what the final product looked like.

The Microphone used in my sound booth is one that I currently use for Zoom meetings, it would not be suitable for a learning commons.

As mentioned in my previous posts, I am currently in the process of creating a podcast recording studio in my learning commons with the help of the Tech & Music Department Heads. Last year, one of our students won a grant at Staples. The learning commons has been able to dip into this grant to help transition the space from a library to a learning commons.

After consulting with the Music teacher, we ordered a Blue Yeticaster Professional Broadcast Bundle from Staples. This bundle is meant to be used with a desktop, which we will have set up in our studio.

This task of creating a sound booth comes at a timely manner for me. The Staples delivery should be arriving next week. I am quite excited to create this space. After this module task, I now have a better sense of how I can create a sound booth on a budget. While I wouldn't use the one I have created for this task, there are definitely lots of great budget-friendly alternatives out there.
