Hi there!

If you’re just getting started, I always tell new voice actors: don’t overbuy. You can do a lot with a lean, smart setup. Here’s what I recommend as a starting point:

  1. A reliable computer or laptop (if you have this, you’re halfway there)
  2. An entry-level XLR condenser mic (not a super-cheap USB mic)
  3. A basic audio interface
  4. Closed-back studio headphones
  5. Simple recording software (Audacity, Reaper, etc.)
  6. DIY acoustic treatment: blankets, duvets, pillows, closet recording, rather than expensive “soundproofing”

As your skills and income grow, then start upgrading.

What gear do you already own, if any?
