Another famous script for VO challenges: "The Retro Encabulator" This script was soley designed to make fun of technobabble. I encourage everyone to give it a try as it is good practice for words you can't read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboencabulator wikipedia posted:Retroencabulator script Here is my take of it for Shits and Giggles:

Adib: If your voice naturally sounds like you are trying to lower it, try using a higher pitch. You might have just learned to talk unnaturally low for whatever reason and your voice is really tenor. It sounds like you open your throat and lower your jaw too much. Or you could be like Ray Romano's cop brother in his show. So, try talking like Patrick [from Spongebob], like over the top, and focus on how you make that voice...then try not to do that. Patrick's character voice is like the extreme "trying to talk low" guy. Also, what might really help is if you can read a few sentences on video, its hard to tell if you have some kind of habit without seeing what your face is doing. Got a YouTube account and a webcam? Stinkmeister: Whenever you end a phrase you elongate whatever the last word is. "Summerset Hilllls" The other thing that I hear is that you need to start sentences with a higher pitch, so that by the time you end the phrase your voice has somewhere to go. I feel like the last few words are bottoming out your vocal range, thus causing the strange pitch pattern. For example: "Third phase of buildinnng" the word building should have a rapid descent in pitch, but instead it stays the same pitch for the most part. "raise their kids" the word kids is good, this is how all the phrases should end. Proper word length and pitch lowering.

I used the MXL990 for years before moving to the Shure super 55. The biggest improvement was the pickup pattern. So, if you are going for the MXL, keep in mind that it is sensitive to the noise around and far away from it... such as your computer, or the road outside; while the super 55 has a narrow range right in front of it. Thus the super 55 is slightly better for more noisy situations...which doesn't excuse high noise, but the mxl doesn't help. If you have a great recording situation (low noise, good absorption) the mxl is a great value, and is more than capable of producing great recordings. ...don't know anything about the snowball. Also try not to become an equipment collector/snob. You'll just end up spending a bunch of money while you'll naturally get better anyway as you practice.

If you can get away with it, you can try to put your computer/laptop inside a closet. Test to make sure nothing overheats, and buy extension cables for your usb and monitors. After that, get the boom stand and figure out a comfortable recording position. Only good practice makes perfect after all. Then worry about a better mic after you get your technique figured out. Because you can't test the consistency of a mic unless you are consistent. If you can nail the sources of noise and improve your technique then you reduce the need for a fancy booth.

The only issue is that this thread (so far) partly goes against the no soliciting rule. So someone needs to create a VO thread in the appropriate place to handle that communication. Plus the OP should be changed also.

USB mics just have sound cards inside them. Unless you are recording directly to magnetic tapes, the signal gets converted to digital at some point anyway. So a usb mic really isn't inferior based on that metric alone. The difference comes from timing, like if you have a computer as a mixer and some digital and analog mics, the digital mics might have a little latency. Also, the mic might have an inferior digital converter to your pro sound card... but I doubt that you need 192khz from your mic for voice.

So, I just completed my first gig on ACX, It was a short story so the whole read was about 20 mins. I'll let you folks know when it is available to sample / buy. Just as a warning though, I did need to produce this all by myself, which I don't have a problem with. But it definitely wasn't just sending raw files to an editor.
