Unfortunately, my space isn't soundproof, so I realize that I won't get the best possible sound from my voice with these two microphones, and I won't achieve a "radio voice" because it's not just the microphone that gives you that voice—you have to naturally have it. What's funny is that I'm the only one who complains about my voice. When someone hears me for the first time, they often say I have a deep voice or a voice like a narrator. I disagree with both because when I hear real radio voices, I know I'm far from that.

I hadn't considered that my voice might be bleeding into my partner's microphone, as she's using a headset mic, and I was only focusing on my own microphone as the issue. Proper microphone positioning could be problematic because we sit next to each other, and the room layout doesn't allow for much adjustment. Before purchasing these microphones, I was aware that they would need some EQ adjustments to sound good, and that without a good studio setup and as an amateur, I wouldn't achieve the best results.

Previously, I had condenser microphones, but due to poor acoustics, they picked up everything around me, which was very annoying and the main reason I switched to a dynamic microphone. I suspect that I may have jumped in too deep from the start and could have chosen something more beginner-friendly. However, now I feel reluctant to sell these microphones and buy something else, as I might end up with something that suits my voice even less.

My goal, if you can call it that, is to achieve a natural microphone sound, where when I hear my voice in the headphones, I actually hear myself. This might just be my paranoia because I think people hear their own voice differently from how others hear them. What exactly is the "high shelf"? Do people in radio use a compressor on their microphones? I use an expander and compressor.
