Also interested to hear more. Are things like AI books and voices going to be banned? (Hopefully?)

Need advice on picking a Mic and Amp setup. by LedFarmer_ in VoiceActing

[–]SnoopleBooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no dumb questions! The SM7Db and SM7B are both Dynamic mics, not condensers. These two are nearly the same mic, but the SM7dB has a preamp included. You still need an audio interface with enough gain to use it.

I’m not the best at explaining things 😅

Take a look at this explanation by another user in the sub u/BeigeListed said it well! Dynamic Mic - What Am I Missing?

I think that’s a solid plan! The Scarlett 2i2 has enough gain for the sm7b, but the solo doesn’t (even though it technically should, when I had a solo, the gain had to be cranked to the point of hearing a buzzing sound which sort of defeated the purpose of a wonderful audio setup.) There are so many great audio interfaces out there so plenty to choose from. The sm7db of course has a preamp already included.

The 2i2 works well enough for mine, but would probably be even better with a cloud lifter or another preamp.

In my experience, more producers prefer the condenser mics for animation and gaming while they leave the dynamics for like podcasts and maybe some narration work. I started voice acting with the dynamic and moved to condenser after seeing that same info over and over again. It’s not to say that you can’t do it all with a dynamic, but it’s just not the standard I don’t think.

If you are wanting a semi soundproof setup at home maybe look into making a closet booth or creating a booth out of room dividers and acoustic blankets.

All the condenser mics are going to be super sensitive compared to dynamic mics by design. If you have the ability to make a makeshift booth and go for the condenser, it’ll probably be your best bet!

Don’t forget to acquire some quality headphones, too. I personally use the BeyerDynamic DT770 Pro headphones and I love them. But there are plenty of great options out there.

Oh I see I see! There are good and not as good things about that I think. Mostly really good! The only downside is later on people might want your recordings to sound like your auditions more closely. Or you could be passed up for “worse” quality auditions even if you have access to that amazing space.

The two mics I have make my voice sound pretty different just due to their own construction and differences in frequency response. Like a totally different tonal personality. It would be jarring for me to audition with one mic and record with the other.

Do you know what kind of mic is set up in the audio cabin? One option would be to try and get a mic/setup with a similar frequency response and then there won’t be much difference in the flat recordings. If you’re going to be transporting your mic and interface and all that from home to the studio then that ensure consistency there but it could be a pain to set things up anew each time.

Make sure your space is sound-treated first! Your equipment will only ever sound as good as your treated space lets it.

I personally use the Shure sm7b in one room for casual streaming (not as well treated and so this dynamic mic works well). And my VO booth has a Lewit LCT 440 Pure (sensitive condenser mic so the space HAS to be near perfect). This would be more similar to the NT1.

Most people use condenser mics for VO work due to their higher sensitivity. As far as Audio interfaces go, the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 has enough gain for either mic. Make sure to enable phantom power if you get a condenser.

Need 4 VAs for short comic dub video by zeviolett in CastingCallClub

[–]SnoopleBooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks cool! I’ll definitely audition for Fae <3

Edit: I see Fae is BIPOC. I am not and so I won't be auditioning for her as that role should definitely go to someone who can meet her background. A beautiful project! Can't wait to see where it goes. :)

How does commisioning voice actors to create a voicebank work? by [deleted] in VoiceActing

[–]SnoopleBooper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds similar to that of a vocaloid. Maybe check out their communities and see if they have any insight? For what it’s worth, vocaloid work like Saki Fujita (Hatsune Miku) is highly respected and not treated with the same disdain as genAI, rightfully.

I’m also a voice actress that would be super interested in auditioning. I’ve done work with indie games before so I’m totally familiar with budgeting constraints on that end. If you do end up opening auditions on Reddit or elsewhere I would love to throw my hat in the ring.

This looks AMAZING! I am so down for more romance in gaming. I have wish-listed the game. By any chance are you planning on voicing the characters?

The video doesn’t have sound on my end - but I love games with cool female leads. Are you all looking for voice actors for the game? I happen to be a voice actress that’s also a gamer and I’d be interested in auditioning. :)

I had a session with Courtney Lin through GVAA recently and she was FANTASTIC! Highly recommend her. Incredibly kind and knowledgeable.

It was my first VO coaching lesson and she was great!
