About

A small studio with the lights on.

Miclantern is a small, bright podcast and voiceover studio in East Austin. We built it for people who have something useful to say and don't want to wrestle with gear to say it: first-time hosts, small-business owners, marketing teams and working voice actors.

Every session comes with a producer who sets levels, watches the meters and keeps the clock honest. You leave with clean, separate tracks and files that belong to you — not to us.

We publish our prices, our cancellation tiers and our studio rules because we think booking a room should feel as clear as the audio you record in it. No download promises, no viral talk. Just good rooms, good light and a calm person at the desk.
