Audio
At Metro Studios, we have a large state-of-the-art audio suite with a professional isolation booth for recording voiceovers.
But we are more than a beautiful recording space with all the latest technology.
Our experienced producers will prepare your provided documents in advance. We review them for pronunciations and look for any other questions that may pop up, to eliminate wasting valuable audio session time. We have created workflows to include video streaming, so your team can watch and listen in real time, answering questions and providing feedback.
Our skilled engineers and editors will record, edit, convert, and output your completed audio files per your specifications, on time, and on budget. We can also travel to your site and transform almost any reasonably quiet location into an audio recording studio.
At Metro Studios, we understand the deadlines and immovable testing windows. Our years of experience have led to our creation of efficient filming processes.
Metro’s producers/project managers will work with you every step of the way. We scrutinize initial scripts for any inconsistencies or challenging items. We also analyze the timeline, looking for possible roadblocks.
Our team discusses your technical specifications and creates the best studio set with suitable camera(s), lighting, and other gear. Metro’s team works closely with any on-camera people, determining what helps them look and feel most comfortable while filming, such as customizing teleprompter scripts. We’ve also created video playback workflows, even through video streaming, so any invested personnel can give feedback in real time.
We have two fully equipped video studios at Metro Studios, however, we can also travel to your site and transform any reasonably quiet place into a studio.
Our experienced editors will edit the raw footage per the scripts, convert into any format, then output completed video files onto a hard drive or upload online. We work hard to meet your deadlines, and will be in constant contact throughout the entire process.
Our Services
Even though online assessments are now mainstream, you may find yourself needing hard copies of testing media. No matter what media needs you have, Metro Studios can provide the right solution.
Tell us your preferred media player configuration and we’ll provide exactly what you need. For example, we know you just can’t “burn a master DVD” – tiny nuances such as bit rates can affect the playability of a DVD with hundreds of different computer configurations in a school district.
Security of your intellectual property is a critical issue–contact us to discuss your security concerns regarding your testing media.
Metro Studios offers label art creation, direct-to-disc and USB drive printing, insert art creation and print services, serialization and bar code labels, final touches (shrink wrap, wafer seals, velcro buttons), and assembly.
Attention to detail is critical during the duplication and fulfillment process – from double-checking the artwork to spot-checking to creating perfect packing lists, BOLs and ASNs.
Tell us how and when to deliver your work and we’ll beat your deadline. Metro Studios will match your warehouse and pallet specs and provide cost-effective shipping options. Our central Midwest location makes shipping to anywhere in the U.S. convenient and affordable.
You need experts when it comes to any type of translation. Let us help!
We partner with translators and clients all over the globe, and work very hard to overcome time zone differences, language barriers and other challenges. Our highly experienced team will be on the lookout for tiny miscommunications that could result in serious ramifications.

Metro Studios customizes services to match your exact specifications, and we can offer you a diverse selection of options and additional services.
Style Guides and Reader Scripts
We begin our reader script process by creating a style guide for consistency and continuity throughout the test to eliminate confusion for the student.
For example, we know it’s critical to type out equations such as (3 + 4) ≅ 3x, because different test administrators will probably voice this equation the differently across all classrooms.
left parenthesis or open parenthesis or the sum of…
How do you want graphs and tables and charts presented?
Along the x-axis or along the bottom? Are columns labeled or titled?
Does everyone know how to pronounce ribosome or phytoplankton or lichen?
Determining a Style Guide in advance, plus typing out the entire equation using words, ensures that the items will be presented in order to meet the standards. Plus, this will keep a level playing field for all students.
Tracking Lists
Metro Studios can create a document with track and chapter numbers to accompany your audio and video files, USBs, CDs or DVDs.
