Matthew Sonnenfeld Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 My nice and easy talking head studio day is becoming pretty difficult due to the talent having a fair bit of loud stomach rumblings. I've already had her try eating some of a bagel but it's still there on both wireless and boom. Any other suggestions? How have you managed this problem in the past?

Constantin Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yes, I have had much better success with drinking something. When they are hungry and eat just a bit, this may even increase the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atheisticmystic Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I worked on an Asian-American television series where the female host couldn't have weighed more than 100 pounds sopping wet. She never ate much, and her stomach always rumbled loudly. It took all of the first season talking with her and the producer, who was a friend of us both, to convince her to keep her tummy happy. Season two sounded great...lol. best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sonnenfeld Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Thanks everyone so much for the suggestions! I will definitely try having her drink something next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bondelev Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Tell her it's OK to fart on set. But seriously, a glass of water almost always fixes it. (Learned that recording Foley.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonG Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 In the case of smacking lips, a glass of water with lemon juice has worked well for me. Maybe this will work for the stomach as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gilbert Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Eat the rest of the bagel? No one ever got full on some of a bagel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sonnenfeld Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Drinking water was by far the best solution. Thanks everyone!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Pedersen Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Had the same issue with a voice actor who had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traut Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I was recording a scene on stage and kept hearing a clicking sound. It was the producer's mechanical heart valve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srgtfury Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 The correct questionand abswer are frequently difficult to formulate, as bobborygmi's etiology is multifactorial. Hence, GasX, Beano, etc., etc.. WRT mechanical heart valves, Fury has often mused of a script, that encompasses what has been a real life...observation of a decedent's paced, mechanical valve audibly clicking at perfect 72 bpm across a large room... Thank you very much Fury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKeaney Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Had the same issue with a voice actor who had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. This is what I was thinking too. But IBS isn't exactly curable? Sounds like water is the best answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Sonnenfeld Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Now what about a whistle-y nose??? Had that one the other day. Kept having the makeup girl ask her if she had to blow her nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Kittappa Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I had an A.D. fall asleep and start snoring in the corner of a room during an interview. We woke him up and I told him that I was coming over to his house later that night to roll some room tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Now what about a whistle-y nose??? Had that one the other day. Kept having the makeup girl ask her if she had to blow her nose. Doh, I've dealt with that in recording voice-overs. The agency producer actually sent a runner out to get some allergy spray to clear the poor guy's sinuses. "Noise Wheeze" is no fun when you need solid dialogue. The real pros know how to deliver from the diaphragm and can minimize this very well.
