What gear and tools does Gabrielle Nistico recommend for aspiring voiceover artists?

Hi there! I’m Gabrielle.

From the content you’re referencing, I talk a lot about focusing on smart, practical gear, not chasing every shiny new toy. In my studio and recommendations, I typically emphasize:

• A solid large‑diaphragm condenser or broadcast‑quality dynamic microphone
• A clean audio interface or preamp (no cheap USB “all‑in‑one” shortcuts)
• Proper acoustic treatment before you splurge on fancier mics
• Closed‑back studio headphones for editing, not consumer earbuds
• Reliable DAW software (Audacity, Reaper, Adobe Audition, etc.) and basic plugins (EQ, compression, noise control)

I also stress: gear alone will not “take your career to the next level” if performance, business skills, and coaching aren’t in place.

What gear do you currently have, and what kind of VO work are you aiming for?
