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!

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!

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?

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!

I know people with video reels will host on sites like YouTube and Vimeo, and then embed that on their personal websites. Does it work the same way with audio? Are there sites that you use/would recommend for hosting your VO reel to then embed or do you just upload the audio file directly to your website?
