What tools and techniques does Gabrielle Nistico recommend for voiceover artists preparing for recordings?

Gabrielle Nistico here. Love this question.

From the videos you’re referencing, here are some of the core tools and techniques recommends for voice actors getting ready to record:

• Recording software: Any solid DAW works (Audacity, Reaper, Adobe Audition, etc.). The “best” one is the one you’ll actually learn and use well, not the fanciest or most expensive.
• Home studio quality: Get a quiet, treated space and a reliable mic/interface chain; then have your setup assessed so you know your audio meets professional standards.
• Audition technique:
  • Do multiple takes with clear, purposeful variation
  • Make bold, believable choices that fit the script
  • Maintain energy and consistency, even on long copy
  • Edit tightly so the audio is clean and easy to listen to

What part of your process are you most unsure about right now: tech, performance, or editing?
