About velvetroomz

A studio atmosphere resource built for recorded shows

velvetroomz began with a simple observation: most interview rooms look and sound almost right, but never quite finished. We help production teams across the United Kingdom close that gap with soft lighting, thoughtful room setup, deliberate camera composition, careful sound checks and workflow that holds up week after week.

Why velvetroomz exists

After years spent rigging lights and chasing hums out of audio for touring production crews, our founder Nathaniel Ashford kept seeing the same problem: talented teams making great shows in rooms that were working against them. velvetroomz was built to fix that — not with more equipment, but with clearer setup, calibration and workflow guidance that any crew can follow.

Craft over guesswork

Every lighting and sound recommendation is tested in real recording rooms before we share it.

Built alongside crews

We work in your studio, not just on paper, so setups fit the space you actually have.

Consistency, session after session

Repeatable checklists mean your show looks and sounds the same in episode one and episode fifty.
