What does Booth mean?

Booth refers to a soundproof room where voice actors, narrators, or singers record audio for films, television shows, radio, or video games. Booths are designed to isolate sound, preventing outside noise from interfering with the recording process. In a recording studio, a booth allows the performer to focus entirely on their performance while audio engineers manage the recording equipment from outside the booth. Voice actors commonly use booths for voiceover work in animation, dubbing, and commercials.

Example:A voice actor steps into the booth to record dialogue for an animated feature film, ensuring that the audio is crisp and free from external noise.
Example: A singer uses a recording booth to lay down vocals for a new song, with the soundproof walls helping to create a clean recording environment.
