Go check out Acoustic Fields.. They actually make products for room treatment and they understand the science in room acoustics and what will make a great sounding room for voice. They have lots of videos to watch that cover a wide variety of information and knowledge about room acoustics for a variety of different usages. No, I don't work for Acoustic Fields, but I have checked out their products and found they are superior to other room treatment products and they also give solid advice as to what to use and how to set up a room depending on the room's usage.

I'm just beginning my VO career I'm only 66yo, but I need something to do to finish out the rest of what the Lord has given me. my life! Looking to do Bible, & Bible story narration work. I feel, and have been told by several friends, that I have a great voice, and need to do something with it. So, here we go!

Well, I almost didn't watch this video because it contained the word ‘cheap’ which I've learned to interpret as ‘something for nothing’. Fortunately, I decided to watch it anyway and to my pleasant surprise I was very inspired. Your message was clear, concise and humble and it also provided a perspective I haven't considered until now. Thanks for posting!

Hello everyone. Here are my notes for this video, as well as a few notes of my own. Let me know if I missed anything. Shopping List For Starters: - Padding for the walls to reduce noise (particularly around and under the microphone.) You can use memory foam mattress toppers, comforters, or LOTS of towels. - Good-quality, large-diaphragm studio microphone (NOT A USB MICROPHONE) - Sound mixer (pre-amp) - Digital Audio Sound Interface - Computer/Laptop (if you don't have one already) - Audacity (Recording Software) - Reliable Headphones Practice: - Record Audio Books (Audible/ Amazon Kindle eBooks) Where To Start For Free - fiverr

@@joshfordnyc My channel doesn't have any videos (yet), but I'm sure each item brings a manual for setup. As for the Audacity software, you can search up Audacity recording software on Google, and you should get a program with an icon of sound waves between headphones. For fiverr, I believe membership is free. Signing up should be easy, but I would have a look at the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy just to be safe. Some microphones come with pre-amps, and instructions on how to set everything up. More often than not, pre-amps are sold separately. Once the Microphone is plugged in, you can select it as an audio input in your computer's settings. From there, you can open Audacity and adjust your recordings accordingly. I don't have any recommendations for high-quality microphones, but I do have a personal recommendation for which microphone NOT to get. The microphone I used was called Neewer. It was rather cheap in price, but unfortunately, it was also cheap in quality. I paid about $30-$50 for a microphone that records way too quietly. I would shout into it at the top of my lungs, but when I play back the recording, I sound like I'm several miles away. Please don't get the Neewer microphone. Either I got unlucky, or the microphone's positive reviews didn't know what they were talking about. Either way, I really don't recommend it. For headphones, you can also use in-ear earphones. You just need some kind of tool to help you listen closely to your recordings without outside noises. Speaking of outside noises, what I used to block outside noises during recordings was a bunch of pillows. I leaned some pillows around my microphone and stuck my head in whenever I recorded. Too bad my microphone couldn't hear anything no matter how many adjustments I made. I think that's just about everything. Any other questions?

Hey Bill - 2 thoughts about a starter recording space: a full clothes closet is just about as acoustically dead as any expensive studio booth. the other thing is to use felt moving blankets to treat a broom closet, etc. you can get a 6-pak of felt blankets for $30 on amazon. My own blanket-lined-broom-closet booth has a noise floor around -55dB...that's really, really good.

I carpeted and tiled the inside walls with the same foam you got. The sound is bloody fantastic. I'd love the space for a sit in room but I have to work with the space I got. I spent a bit more on a mic and got a Rode NT. I built mine before watching this but I'm loving your videos.

Hi Bill. You inspired me to look around for some cheap recording gear and I found one of particular note. I went to Sweetwater and I found the Presonus Audio Box Studio Bundle. I set it up and It works great for voiceover work. The price is right too. You get a large diaphragm studio condenser mic, a digital audio interface withj phantom power included, and a pair of headphones. With a mic stand and a pop filter, you can get the whole thing for about $235. I used other people's ideas for creating a sound booth and came up with one that I made from foam mattess toppers and a storage bin that I found for nothing, and it cost me only about $24 for that. Hope this helps. I have read reviews about the setup that I have and some people love it and others hate it. I think that the naysayers are full of it, The whole thing works fine and I use Audacity to record with and the audio results are outstanding. For those out there that want to start out from scratch this is the way to go. Thanks for the inspiration and the encouraging words. Tom Duggan

Hi Bill from North East England, I started on a shoe string budget, in fact the only thing had to pay for was my SE2000 Mic which was £75, I was given a machine to run Pro Tools and the hardware (Digi Design 001 Interface) for nothing, I was aware that It wasn't cheap to buy so I grabbed these with both hands. I'm not a professional though. I found my bedroom to be quite ambient so for the time being I'm using Pro Tool's VST gate as a way of diminishing the ambience, it works fine.

Getting set up is one thing, but also take into consideration when you are asked by a client or agent about what equipment you have (since they want to be sure they are getting the best quality). If you say, "I'm using Audacity with a USB mic" - regardless of quality - it could be a red flag that says "I am an amateur" right? Whereas if you say "I'm using industry standard equipment" that has a bit more cache when marketing I'd think. Now, could you *stretch* the truth when you tell them that? Or can they tell the difference?

As a mixer, a bad room is the worst kind of thing to deal with and consumes the most time to fix, if it can be fixed. A fiend of mine just treated his recording space well enough and setup his recording chain so well, that his new microphone, a Shure SM7b feeding in to his old Yahama mixer, which in turn feeds in to a line-in of his computer actually produces very good results. It must be said over and over again. Roomm -> Mic -> Preamp -> AD converter. Just use what you have properly.

My setup is pretty similar. You forgot to mention some VERY important items people need when doing studio / recording work. #1. Shock mount to keep errant movement noises out of the mic. #2. Pop filter to help you mind your P's and Q's, literally. and... #3. A microphone stand. People aren't going to be using a studio mic in hand like a dynamic mic... My setup like I said is similar to yours, Behringer XENYX mixer, and USB audio interface. I am wishing I had bought the USB version of my mixer. Is there a reason you recommend them separately instead of as one unit? The two unit approach costs more, and is more complicated to set up. Is there a sound quality problem with the USB models?

An example for a USB mic in a decently treated room is v=ilP7NNLqiZY . The USB mic he was using, a Blue Snowball mic wasn't perfect for his voice by far and took work to get sounding good in those mixes. The mic he just got gets a better sound for his voice, so that's a good upgrade. Next is a good interface in the $200 range that has great converters and very decent preamps for cleaner recordings. With a decent room it's worth it. Just chiping in to agree with you.

Wow! I like your enthusiasm when emphasising, 'you' can also do this. What impresses me the most is that you have no fear of others entering your market. May your monthly checks continue to come until you have no room in your filling cabinet. Lol!

Not sure a mixer and sound card is the best way to go as you can get them combined as you don't need the EQ etc on the mixer and it will probably have better pre amps than the Behrenger one. Also a rode NT-1a is probably a better choose than the marshal mic if you can afford it (not that much more) as it has an outstanding signal to noise ratio with is important in voice over.

I have an NT1-A and I have been using it for a few months and I have found that its a good starting mic as its clear and has a great low self noise, but overall it isn't great for VOs as it doesn't give enough warmth and is tweaked a bit high at the high frequencies and at least to my ears sounds a bit too bright. If your on a budget, the NT1-A (or the new NT1 is better) to me seems better than some other mics around the same price range. I am just using my NT1-A until I have saved up enough money to afford a much better mic.
