A backdrop with character.

A couch, an HDMI-connected TV for your branding or playback, and two programmable LED lighting sets to match your colors.

Studio questions

Know before you go.

What is the room best suited to?

Solo livestreams, a host with a guest, and small creator sessions. The studio is a compact desk-and-couch room inside our office, not a large stage or a multi-person podcast suite.

What comes with the rental?

Access to the equipment listed above, internet, lighting, and help getting set up. We confirm the configuration for your session before booking. Editing and a dedicated producer are separate.

What should I bring?

Bring your content, account logins, and any brand visuals you want on the TV. Tell us your streaming platform, preferred camera, and recording needs ahead of time so we can confirm compatibility and software requirements.

Can the background match my brand?

The two LED lighting sets can be changed to your colors, and the TV accepts HDMI input for branding or playback. Bring visuals you have permission to use.

Is editing included?

Studio rental and post-production are separate. If you want the recording turned into clips or a finished film, ask for an editing scope alongside the rental.

What does a session cost?

Rental is $100 per hour with a two-hour minimum ($200). A four-hour session is $360. Setup help is included; editing and a dedicated producer are separate.

What is the cancellation policy?

Refunds are available only if cancellation notice is received more than seven days before the session starts. Notice received seven days or less before the start does not qualify for a refund.

Where is the studio?

The studio is in Chinatown, Manhattan, NYC, inside our office. The exact address is sent in your confirmation email after payment; it is not published on this page.

Is the room soundproof?

It is carpeted, but we do not describe it as soundproof. Tell us about sound-sensitive recording requirements before booking.
