this episode was an interesting one. I am sure a lot of beginner VA's don't stop to think about what voice type they use to get to a specific voice but knowing certainly helps you hone in on the right one for your character. The interface portion was quite nice as I am looking to go from a USB mic to an XLR sometime soon. On a side note I like the title of the episode and the picture you used looks kinda like how I would picture Bryson in about 4 years. (I'm kidding of course... just checking to see if he is paying attention.)
Great episode, you guys certainly do not disappoint. I can't wait to hear next weeks.
Also, all you lurking guests out there... join in, no one here bites... well maybe Andrew, but I am sure there is a medication for that now.

mrbipolar: I think you're right on the money for Bryson. Good call! Also, ditto to all the guests out there just peeking around. Voice actors need to network, not stare at each other awkwardly like a boy and girl at a high school dance trying to see who makes the first move. totoyamado; First off, let me say welcome! Second, if there is some sort of voice acting magic you're not telling us about, share the wealth! And third, if you're using your compuer's built in mic, don't worry! Everyone has to start somewhere. If you're taking voice acting seriously however, I would suggest investing in a good USB or XLR (Which is the kind you need a interface or "converter" of some sort) mic. You can find good ones for around $100. We talked about some different mics and other equipment in past episodes if you haven't already listened to them and I'm sure we;ll talk about more in future episodes. If there's a specific piece of equipment you'd like to know more about, let us know about it and we'll do some research and review it on the show!

Most definitely, networking is extremely important. You need a good circle of people you trust if you are going to get your name out there, that is for sure.

There's too much dead air and it lets too much room ambiance in. If you're gonna get a blue mic, I'd suggest spending a few extra for the yeti. It has a built in gain knob and much better sound with better filtering. |
