A listener recently sent in a suggestion requesting an episode devoted to the topic of equipment that is essential to starting a career in voice acting, and specifically what equipment to buy if one is on a limited budget. In this episode, I provide my thoughts on the following items:

Microphones (USB, Dynamic, Condenser) and the pros and cons of each

Types of Recording Software

Mixers vs. Audio Interfaces

Phantom Power

Headphones

Microphone Stands

Pop Filters

Shock Mounts

Acoustic Treatments (Soundproofing vs. Room Dampening Treatments)

If you would like to do additional research before selecting the microphone that is best for you, check out the Microphone Selector tool provided by EdgeStudio.

Thanks to Jeff for suggesting the topic for this episode! If you have a particular topic that you would like me to cover in a future episode, email your feedback at [email protected].
