“I came into the world listening. Other people came in noticing, visually, or touching things, tactically, which is why there are sculptors and visual artists, and some of us were just innately oriented toward the sound of the world.”- Michael JolyThis week is the second half of my interview with Michael Joly, founder of solu® and maker of the n.o.w. Tone Therapy™ device, where we talk about microphones, share tips for improving your sound recordings on a budget and look at the future of sound healing. Sound is a Doorway“I think sound is a doorway," Michael says, "that can help us experience truth." We begin with a discussion of microphones and audio recording equipment, comparing such diverse microphones as the Shure SM7 cardioid dynamic microphone, the Electro-Voice RE20, and the classic Neumann U47 microphone. Michael also shares his tips for creating an optimal sound environment for recording at home, using such everyday items as a clothes closet, furniture-wrapping blankets, and curtain rods to achieve surprisingly effective results. "What we're trying to achieve here is to communicate to people through a voice, and people love the intimacy of the audio medium." The Future of HealingWe wrap up the interview with a look at what the future of sound healing might bring as audio continues to play a bigger role in our everyday lives. Michael also talks about the emerging field of “well buildings,” an international standard of wellness that includes sound reduction and ambient sound systems. “Sound is dynamic and always changing, and I think that we connect to this and we know something about ourselves and the way that the world is constructed.”Connect with the GuestWebsite: https://www.nowbysolu.com/Connect with Michael Joly on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-joly-043513144/Connect with the Audio Branding PodcastBook your project with Voice Overs and Vocals https://voiceoversandvocals.comTweet with me on Twitter - https://twitter.com/JodiKrangleWatch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/ Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a written review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding or leave a spoken review at https://voiceoversandvocals.com/talktome/ (Thank you!)Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an
