I’m pretty happy with my Neumann BCM-104. I have yet to sample a U87, but I suppose that you can’t miss what you’ve never had. 🙂👍🏻

I completely forgot about renting microphones from a music store. Glad someone reminded me. 🤣

I have a Warm Audio 47j for VO, and I have a Shure SM7B for my podcast. I'm just starting out in VO, and I've received great feedback with my WA47jr.

Oh cool. I don’t know what mic, I’ve heard it brought up a couple times though. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for letting me know your experience!

Sir, on 1:33 you list a "SH 416". What should this be please? The Sennheiser MKH 416 you talk about? And… talking about the TLM 103 you show a TLM 102 - it's a different microphone and cheaper than the TLM 103.

Hi! I didn’t edit the video and I wasn’t about to ask my editor for a revision due to a picture that 99% of people will not be able to tell the difference on. The information is clear.

that image is a tlm 102. Nitpicking...but I do so because I HATE the sound of the 102. The 103 is miiiiiiles ahead of that soup can. 103 doesn't have that crappy silver ring around the middle. Solid video that will cause a lot of people to whine. Which is fine.

I didn’t edit the video and wasn’t about to ask for a revision over a slide. But ya, I also hate the 102

Maybe but the Shure SM7b is more popular everywhere along with the ElectroVoice RE20. I own a Sennheiser MKH 416 but doubtful I would use it over the Shure for voice over. Neumann U87 is a classic vocal mic - for singing. But since many recording studios probably have the Neumann mics available they just opt in a sort of lazy way to use them as the default for the human voice. But then nobody ever got fired for using a Neumann. And I think you're wrong in that these 3 mics fit all. I have heard it for myself some mics sound better for some individuals and not others and vice versa.

I would absolutely NEVER use the Sure SM7B for Voiceover.

When you spoke of using a microphone that netted you no results whatsoever, you made the point about there being microphones that are good/ bad for your voice.

Not sure I understand what your getting at. Do you disagree with my points?

@@jessecarrollvoiceovers, ⁠Around the 1:06 mark you basically talked about people who said gurus spoke of there being microphones that, more or less, fit your voice and you said you thought that was the biggest load of b.s. Later, you spoke of using a mic that immediately you felt didn’t sound right for you and yielded you no results. Doesn’t that say that there IS merit to the suggestion that there are microphones that are better or worse for types of voices?

@jessecarrollvoiceovers 11 ай бұрын

@@ahfimiwonawun no. You completely missed the point. There are 3 mics you find in studios around the world. Forget what anyone says about mics, outside of those 3 mics, because it doesn’t matter, those are the mics that are used in professional settings, and for a reason… they are the best and it doesn’t matter who’s voice is on it.

Over the past 5 years I have become a microphone freak. And I'm still trying to find the ideal. Probably in vain. :D And while I think mic selection depends on voice position and articulation (there are simply mics that pick up a baritone better than a soprano and vice versa), I intuitively came to a similar conclusion as you. And since I'm not a millionaire, I do most of my VO work through MKH416 and the rest through TLM103. The U87 is already too expensive and I just don't like its sound. It's really enough for me how the two-thirds cheaper TLM103 robs me of my low end. :-) I hate the SM7B for exactly the opposite reasons - it's flat, dull, boring... Just a dynamic microphone. :D I had it at home for about an hour and immediately sent it back to the e-shop. And I don't think that dynamic microphones are suitable for professional voiceover. Compared to condenser microphones, dynamic ones simply have a worse sound. And I agree with you 150% that the MKH416 is by far the best microphone I know for VO. And I have about 30 microphones at home - Mojave, Lauten, Sony, Telefunken, Lewitt, Audio-technica, etc., etc., including several tube ones.
