What gear and tools does Gabrielle Nistico recommend for aspiring voice actors?

I’ve done a few videos on this, including “Gabby’s Gear – A Look Into Gabby’s Studio” and “Everything You Need to Get Started in Voice Over – in UNDER a minute.” The big takeaway: you do not need a ton of fancy gear to begin.

At a minimum, I recommend:

1. A solid entry-level XLR mic
2. An audio interface
3. Closed-back headphones
4. A computer with basic recording software (Audacity, Reaper, etc.)
5. A treated recording space (blankets, gobos, closet booth)

For deeper dives and specific models, I keep updated info and resources on my site under Getting Started and VO resources.

What gear do you have right now, or are you starting from scratch?
