I love this voice and the energy, but my main issue is the mic quality.
Thanks! And i’m actually getting a new mic ASAP, this one was broken lol. Any recommendations on which mic I should buy?
A snowball is really great if you're starting out, otherwise obviously if you can spend a bit more to get a better mic I'd shoot for one of the ones more in the under 200$ range. I know starting out you don't need a phenomenal mic, but one that can cut out noise, and gives clear crisp sound is definitely only going to help your auditions.
I’m getting my paycheck from work in a few days and i’ll probably get something in the $200 range ^^ I had a blue yeti but maybe I wasn’t using noise reduction properly? That being said I’ll have a better working mic soon if you decide to put my audition into consideration!
of course! I’m taking my time to find the right understudy for this role :) I look forward to your updated audition and I’d honestly try to network with some other VA’s on here and ask what mics they find are in their budget that works for them :)
How much time do I have to do an updated audition? :)
I got a RodeNT1 and I absolutely love it. Great quality. If you know where to look, you can get it for under $100. I also would recommend buying a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 (or something close to it), if you don't already have an audio interface. It REALLY helps to improve mic quality.
Thanks! I have a few options in mind that i’m choosing from and this is on the list :D
Might I also suggest the AT2020? That's the mic I use. It IS an XLR mic though, and requires a deck like the Scarlett Solo USB to use.
