"The booth setup was pretty standard using a U87 and pop-filter on the front end, with the exception of a fairly heavy compression ratio on the Focusrite Red 7," reported session engineer Mark Kirchner. "In order to get the entire script read in the 25 seconds allocated, George had to hit the mic pretty hard resulting in lots of plosives. In all I think we did four individual sessions for the campaign. George was a blast to work with and we're already looking forward to next summer's contest!"
Meanwhile, over in Studio A, Viva Brother were recording voice-over cuts for Slacker Radio. They also performed a 3-song acoustic set to be included in their feature station on the internet radio service. (Watch Viva Brother's performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live here!)
