Know before you go

These quick tips will help you prepare and get the most out of your visit to any of our studios.

  1. Plan ahead

    Pre-production meeting

    A 30-minute meeting with our production team can set you up for success in recording your course materials. We’ll give you a quick tour of the studio, help you make media selections and develop a plan for your studio session.

    Note: Pre-production meetings are highly recommended for every person who plans to record, and is a requirement for instructors using the virtual lecture studio with the LCD write pad.

    Studio scheduling

    Submit your scheduling request a minimum of two weeks prior to when your media is needed to allow for production time.

    We also recommend scheduling your appointment for the morning as studios can get warm in the afternoon, especially in the Arizona summer months.

  2. Prepare your presentation materials

    There are two primary systems in the studio for using presentation materials, including:

    • A system for viewing slide presentations.
    • A teleprompter for script-based presentations.

    Pro tip: Using the teleprompter in the studio ensures you address all of the material you plan to cover in the session. In our experience, those who prepare a script ahead of time are more likely to get to all of their material in a shorter amount of takes than those who present “off the cuff.”

  3. Submit your presentation materials

    If you plan to use a script or slides for your video presentation, please submit them at least 48 hours prior to your studio appointment to avoid being asked to reschedule.

    On your appointment day, we make sure your materials are processed and loaded into the studio system.

    Submit your materials by replying via email once you get your appointment confirmation.

  4. Know where the studios are located

    If this is your first visit to your scheduled studio, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the location and the parking options.

  5. Put your best foot forward

    Wear dark clothing

    Wearing dark, plain clothing helps you stand out against our green screen. Additionally, please avoid wearing green and white clothing.

    Bring water

    Between the warmth of the studio lights and the vocal work of recording multiple takes, you’ll likely want something refreshing to drink.
