Voiceover and Voice Acting Tools
Hiii! Okay, I love my side quest in life of being a professional voiceover artist and voice actor. Here a list of everything I use to either get started or in my everyday in this profession!
Getting Started
The basics, perfect if you're still figuring out if you want to do this full-time.
This thing is awesomely powerful. Great if you're not diving right into a treated space or a shed…haha
This is the mic that got me started! 🥹
Mount that mic to your desk! Or another flat surface with a ledge that you're using. Up to you.
Baby's first pop filter!
Long-lasting/Pro Tools
More bang for your buck! Great for the long-haulers and those that have said: “I'm going to make this my career”.
An upgrade from my previous pop filter in the beginner's section.
This is great at reducing noise even more than your current methods. It's super effective.
External power for non-USB mics!
Shock mount for your new expensive mic!
This was a step up for me! I love this mic so much, it's lightyears away from my starter mic and one that I only bought knowing that I wanted to do this full-time.
This connects your mic to your external power.
I do almost all of my VO work standing now, it's just way easier to get into it that way!
It's really important to hear your voice aloud through speakers in some circumstances! (The ones where they'll be playing your finished product over a PA system, for example.)
Building a Voiceover Shed!
Okay I'll admit this is a journey but it'll pay off and beats the high cost of the mobile at-home studios out there on the market! I love my little shack and it get the job DONE.
Me in the studio! Link to my VO IG if you want to connect there 🥰
The famous shed.
This is one variation of foam that I used to line the inside of the shed.
The BIG pack. Good to start with.
This comes in multiple colors.
This is for your corners!
This is the tape I used for the non-sticky foam.
Work and Casting Sites Recommendations
Here's where I go to get work and bookings!
Backstage has changed the course of my trajectory here and I'm not being dramatic. I was super hesitant at first (because…it costs money) but it was the best decision I could make!!
I also get a lot of opportunities here to audition!
This is my money-maker! Where I do most of my voiceover work and how I support (read: fund) my overall side quest.
