Nothing ruins the image of professionalism like terrible audio. Even the best YouTube videos — with the best lighting, interesting content, and engaging personalities — will receive a lackluster response if the audio isn’t done right. Make sure your first impression isn’t ruined by bad audio. Washington Our Home has been professionally engineering audio for 25 years…get the benefit of our experience today!

Oral History Recording

Grandfather telling stories to son and grandson.

There’s something about hearing history from the mouth of someone who lived it that gives it an amazing authenticity and brings it to life. Don’t lose those priceless memories. Instead, let Washington Our Home sit down with your revered community members, the keepers of institutional knowledge, and record those memories for the archives — and for future generations. Washington Our Home will travel to you to record in person.

Erich did his homework

The Ryderwood History Project is very pleased with the professional videography services that Erich Ebel of Washington Our Home provided for Ryderwood’s 2019 Long-Bell Old-Timers Reunion in August 2019. Erich, who had never heard of Ryderwood before an earlier presentation at the Cowlitz County Historic Museum, did his homework and he and his wife spent all day recording the events. The finished product was very well edited and narrated, and we look forward to working with Erich in the future.

Radio Ads

Radio stations across Washington are always looking for a greater variety of voices. Why not provide them with pre-packaged, ready-to-air content to help promote your exhibit, share a bit of local history or culture, or just let the public know you’re open for business! From public service announcements to short audio packages, Washington Our Home can help you seize upon this great opportunity!

Podcast Instruction

Checklist of podcast equipment next to laptop.

The great thing about a podcast is that your content can be consumed while the listener is also doing something else. Someone can listen to your podcast while cleaning their house, driving in their car, jogging, or exercising at the gym. Doing so doesn’t distract them from their current activity, it enriches it. As your podcast grows in popularity, the size of your audience increases. They will recommend your show to others, and over time you will build a audience of fans eager to hear your next episode. We can show you how to get started, and it’s a lot easier than you think.
