A sound stage is very similar to a studio. A studio can be defined as a place for filming, with different apparatus like lighting and backdrops inside. The same can be said for a sound stage, with the difference that it is soundproof. You can record audio here without having to worry about outside noise.

It depends if you’re planning to add audio in post-production in a recording studio, or if you’d rather record the sound at the same time of your film shot. When you have to add some sound effects, scene noises or when you need to record dialogue simultaneously with the film, it may be better to shoot in a soundproof studio. Otherwise, you’re probably set filming in a standard studio.

The two most popular areas with sound stages are Manhattan and Greenpoint Brooklyn. Make sure to check out these areas and book the perfect sound stage for your film.
