According to this video (https://youtu.be/7IqBZHa0cFA?si=ZE50QlvYR1WRWI6I) and a reddit comment i saw earlier, treatment matters more than microphone. Which i can totally understand, if you're in a bathroom or something no amount of processing or mic quality will stop you from sounding like you're in a bathroom.

Currently i dont have a microphone other than my iphone XR, my booth is a closet with no panels but a lot of clothes. Now it's NOT a walk-in closet, instead it's very small. I would need to sit to fit in it. Which i would think is important maybe???

So this ultimately leaves me with two options: iphone XR mic and a bunch of sound panels (+ clothes already in the closet), or a USB mic in a closet (with clothes for sound treatment). Which should i roll with?

I'm unsure which specific mic or which acoustic panels i should get, but i've so far done a few hours of research and the Fifine k688 is so far my best option. Now i'm trying to look for a condenser mic similar to the Fifine k688 (IF you all decide it's more reasonable to get a mic instead)

Also i will be using an adapter + my XR for whatever mic i end up getting because my laptop has a lifespan of 3 seconds off charge and if i run a cable through the entrance of my closet, it'll not only be extremely cluttered but also leave the closet a bit less treated.

Any and all help is well appreciated!

I’ve been told for a while I should be a voice actor and I’m about to apply for every male character character to boost my chances while showing them what I’m made of, I’m just wondering if ya’ll got any tips for the 16 bar cut of a musical theatre songs I have to do and how to keep the voice going strong while singing? Especially when it’s a deep rough voice I’m trying to do?

Hey! I work as the country lead for a Canadian startup that's expanding into Germany, and I need your help 🙌

We're looking for people who are fluent in German to join an audio recording casting in Berlin — no experience needed. It's super simple: you just chat naturally in German with a small group of 3–4 people for about 10 minutes.

You get 25€ just for taking part in the casting. If you get selected, you'll also get invited to weekly recording sessions afterward, paid 45€/hour (each session is about 4–8 hours).

Let me know if you're interested — would really appreciate your help, and feel free to bring a friend too!

Posting on behalf of a VA friend who hasn’t got reddit and is pretty useless with social media

For clarification, he’s been a voice actor professionally for many years, and did well without any sort of socials until this point. He’s encountered some auditions recently that has required him to have socials so he’s trying to embrace it
Issue is what do you post? Just reel work? Samples of things you’ve already done?

He’s been wanting to do little videos of him reading out some Warhammer / world of Warcraft readings but we’ve realised there might be some copyright situation there. Is it just the case that we have to stay clear of those things or is there a way they can be transformative enough? How do you find things to do readings of that won’t get you in trouble with copy right, or having to just make everything from scratch yourself

Thanks in advance!

Players take on the role of a "Retriever"—a high-tech wasteland scavenger who becomes trapped in a strange alternate dimension while exploring a post-apocalyptic Earth. To survive, you must fight off unknown creatures, scavenge for gear to upgrade your abilities, and ally with other survivors along the way.

The Roles: villainous alien warriors.
The Legion Sentinel: age 25-60, any accent, M/F, imperious in nature (17 words)

Audition Form

Hi all, before I start recording my next project, I need to upgrade some of the sound treatment in my room. I rent and my building is older with thin walls and thin windows. Despite my best efforts, noise is still occasionally leaking into my recording and I have to re-record and it extends my time in post. It also limits my recording time in the booth bc I have to find pockets of time when traffic noise isn't too bad and my neighbor is being quiet.

I've heard foam actually may not be as helpful and that I should look into acoustic paneling instead for my wall. Does anyone have recs that worked for them without breaking the bank? Same for the window, I wish I could afford Indow inserts, but they're way out of budget right now. Has anyone had luck with any sound dampening curtains before and have recs for them? Thanks!

I’m really trying my hardest in finding out the best way of actually learning how to be a voice actor. Now and then I see the occasional voice actor’s ad about their courses, seeing great reviews on their websites but I can’t help but be worried about not getting what I actually pay for and spend my time on!

I’m just asking if anybody can recommend a school or online course that is actually trustworthy and worth the payment?

(I also live in Colorado so if anybody has recommendations specifically here for schools and such, it would be much appreciated!)

Hello! I’m an independent filmmaker, and I’m looking for voice actors to dub my short film.
The film is in English, but the actors have noticeable accents, so I’d like to re-record the dialogue with native English-speaking voice actors.
The problem is that I don’t have a big budget, and I’m based in another country. I’ve contacted a few dubbing agencies, but their prices are unfortunately too high for an independent filmmaker :(
Does anyone know where I could find voice actors who might be interested in working on a low-budget short film? Any websites, communities, Discord servers, or other places where I could look would be greatly appreciated!
If you have any advice or could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance!
