Which gear and tools does Gabrielle Nistico recommend for professional voiceover work?

Hi there! I’m Gabrielle Nistico. Love this question.

From my studio videos and posts, here’s what I consistently emphasize for professional voiceover work:

• A quality large-diaphragm condenser microphone (not the cheapest USB mic you can find)
• A solid audio interface or preamp
• Closed-back studio headphones (not gaming or fashion headphones)
• Proper acoustic treatment for your recording space (panels, bass traps, NOT just foam or blankets thrown around)
• Reliable DAW software (Audacity, Adobe Audition, Reaper, etc.)
• A sturdy mic stand, pop filter, and shock mount

I also talk a lot about how gear alone won’t fix performance or business issues—sometimes upgrading your skills, coaching, and workflow matters more than buying a shiny new mic.

What are you currently using in your setup?
