Features
  • "Mr. Hogan's Porta-Booth is a very practical solution that sounds great. Hats off to you sir." Peter clark, VO:

  • Even quiet spaces can sound unprofessional because microphones "hear" the sound of the room itself.

  • "What a brillant realization: You don't have to bulid a vocal booth big enough for both the mic & the performer - just the mic!." David Battino, Desktop Production Guide


Description

This is the acclaimed Harlan Hogan Porta-Booth, praised by voice talents, musicians, movie soundmen and audio engineers alike. His Internet article provides simple instructions on how to build your own Porta-Booth. However, after many requests he's arranged to have a limited number of professionally-made booths manufactured. Add an inexpensive LED book light to illuminate your copy or use Amazon's amazing Kindle!

Microphone not included, we recommend our own VO: 1-A, "The Voiceover Microphone".

"I tried your Porta-Booth in our interpretation room and it works great! We had fan noise from computers and the ventilation system but it killed them both!"

Don Thatcher, Church of the Latter Day Saints

A note from Harlan:
Over the years my stopwatches have become so prevalent in recording studios that several engineer's tell me they call them: "The Harlan." Who's got the Harlan? Where's the Harlan? So I had a sense of deja vu when I received this email from change strategist Kristine Oller:

"I've discovered that, in my circles, your fabulous Porta-Booth product is now referred to as a 'Harlan box'... as in: 'You need to get yourself a Harlan box.' Dunno how that caught on but it has!"

I Feel like Yogi Berra - "It's déjà vu all over again"

1Nice idea, horribly overpriced  Dec 20, 2009
The product itself is a great idea and I have had one for quite some time that I made out of these cubes and some spare foam.

That being said, this item is about double the price of the components that you can buy yourself here on Amazon, just search for "Whitmor Cube" and "Acoustic foam". If you go with some cheaper foam that works well in an already relatively quiet room you can put this together for $35. The other advantage of the diy option is that you get multiple color choices (red, green, brown, etc) for the cube itself.

5Harlan Hogan Saved My Session  Nov 12, 2009
Scripts approved. Talent booked. Studio sched---umm, the studio IS scheduled, right? It wasn't. This was Tuesday afternoon. The talent was arriving Saturday morning and I had no studio. I saw the Porta-Booth on Amazon and it seemed like it might do the trick. However I was afraid it wouldn't arrive in time. Before I purchased I thought I'd send an email to see if someone would get back to me to ensure me it would arrive in time. I didn't expect a response but in less than 30 minutes I had an email from Harlan Hogan. He thanked me for my interest in his product and told me that if I ordered by 4:00pm and selected the upgraded shipping it would indeed make it in time. I purchased. It arrived. It worked like a dream.

Great product and great customer service. Thanks, Harlan.

5Great Solution for home recording  May 13, 2009
Big thanks to Harlan for the wonderful product! I've been a VO talent for 8 years, but just listed myself on one the Voice websites in March to see if I could do some work from home. Over the past few months, I've submitted a bunch of auditions through the site with nary a bite.

I got the Porta-Booth on a Wednesday night and played around with it. On Thursday, I auditioned for a job on the site, booked it Friday morning, and by Friday evening, I'd recorded a website tour and the Porta-Booth was more than paid for!

It's incredible to have this solution in my home. It's always been my dream to get paid to do VOs in my basement, and the Porta-Booth has made that a reality.

5Voiceover answer  Feb 26, 2009

Just a note of thanks. I have received my Portabooth and I LOVE it. It is amazing that it blocks out so much ambient noise. I purchased the Blue Snowball microphone with it, plugged it into my computer and the quality and sound is amazing. Small house and no space to build a studio and now I don't have to.

I wanted to send my thanks to Harlan for such a useful and portable solution.

5Great vocal audio quality  Jun 30, 2008
I am an e-Learning developer. I banged my head against the wall for days trying to figure out a way to record professional quality audio outside a studio setting. I don't know how I found Harlan Hogan's Porta-Booth page, but I remember it was around 2am. I followed the directions Harlan described to create my own Porta-Booth, and my problems were solved. Now that you can get all the components together, it's even better.

Everyone that sees or uses the Porta-Booth has been blown away by the simplicity of Harlan's solution. What a fantastic product for the e-Learning community. Thank you!
