What are the top tools and equipment recommended by Gabrielle Nistico for voiceover recording?

Hi, I’m from . How can I help?

From my videos and coaching, here are the core tools and equipment I consistently recommend for serious voiceover work:

• A proper XLR microphone (not USB). I often mention the Neumann TLM 103 as my own day‑to‑day “workhorse” mic, and a common industry standard, but the right mic depends on your voice.
• An audio interface (because real VO mics don’t plug in via USB).
• Recording software/DAW – any reliable, professional program is fine; the best one is the one you can use quickly and confidently.
• A treated recording space or booth so your sound is clean and controlled.
• Reliable headphones/monitors for accurate playback.
• And the surprise “must‑have” tool I talk about in a separate video: a way to objectively evaluate your sound and performance (coaching, feedback, and your own critical listening skills) – gear alone isn’t enough.

What gear do you already have, and are you setting up a home studio from scratch or upgrading?
