Hey Audio Leak, Thanks for the thoughts. Yes, I have a voice that punches out from the crowd, but I'm just not happy with my new home recording studio finished product. You may be right with regard to learning the nuances of the PT EQ/Comp. setups. Guess I need to take a PT course for...

WHYS / KINETIC... Thanks very much for the professional advice. ALL very good ideas and I'll start working on them immediately. WHYS: Thanks for the links, very helpful. I was recording a VO for DISCOVERY today, in Miami, and was working in a larger room (designed by Burgess) with an Avalon...

David, Thanks for the input. I appreciate your advice and will reach out to D B Cooper, as well as Bob Souer. When I bought the VB Silver unit, I tried adding a bit more acoustical inside. It really altered the sound negatively. However, I didn't try the corner blocks. What would you...

I've been a writer, director, producer for 30 years and throughout my career I've also worked as a voice actor. Now, I'm looking to do more VO work. Over the years, I've learned to rely on the sound advice of engineers. (No pun intended). I have a home VO studio consisting of the following...

Agreed. So, if I were to ask you this ? : If you were advising me on the buildout of a new chain for my voice recordings, what AMP/Strip would you recommend for peak performance? What would you say?

Got my UA on now and letting it stay on overnight, then will try my little test record again. This time with toasty tubes. Any opinion on the EQ, compressor, limiter, de-esser, etc that is software driven within ProTools LE ? Intersted in hearing from audio guys as to their opinion regarding...

I performed a little experiment earlier today. Recored a slug from a script two times. First, with the UA Solid State cranked to 100%. Second, cranked to 100% tube. Mic level, proximity, EQ, all identical on both records. Here's the weird thing...I couldn't hear any difference. Now, I know...

Massive & Cavedog, Thanks for the replies. I've been a writer, director, producer for 30 years and throughout my career I've also worked as a voice actor. Now, with the economy in the shape it's in, I am looking to do more VO work. Over the years, I've learned to rely on the sound advice of...

I'm a professional voice actor and the short answer is no. However, keep in mind that every room has a different "voice". Depending on your mic, the size and acoustical condition of your room, the quality of the sound will certainly be affected by the above. I own a professional vocal booth...

John, Thanks for the reply. With my setup & application, what would you suggest?

I'm a professional voice actor and am currently using a Neumann U47 fet mic, ProTools LE (M Box) along with a Universal Audio 710 Tube/Solid State combo amp. I bought the UA 710 because of the tube feature, as I like the warm feel it brings to my sessions. However, I've been hearing a lot...
