Whether you’re filming a podcast, recording a panel, or producing content, our team makes the technical side seamless so you can focus on your message.

You can book our equipment and expertise for in-studio productions at PowerHouse or bring us to your location anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Our Space

This is not your dad’s studio. Housed in a beautifully restored Victorian home in downtown San Jose, our space blends historic charm with modern creative energy. Every corner is designed with intention: colorful, feminine, a little rock-and-roll, and always welcoming!

Our space is functional and inspiring. We offer a private green room that gives clients space to prep and breathe before stepping in front of the camera. A full kitchen makes long production days easier, while our bright, open common area invites connection and collaboration.

Together, we’ve built Unmuted Studio at PowerHouse to be a space where creatives can transform their bold ideas into polished productions. At Unmuted Studio, we help you you feel seen, heard, and in your power.
