Hi there! Thanks for your comment, honestly when it comes to professional quality sound the most important part is the sound treatment. You could easily get a great sound with an affordable mic and interface if your space is well treated. So that's my suggestion. I have a video review of the fifine microphone I believe it's a $37 mic, they also have an interface that is great for about the same price. Put part of your budget aside for that and invest the rest of your money into sound proofing. I have a video with an audio engineer that talks all about soundproofing options that would help you.

Go for it!

@trud6346 I see, I have a video posted on proper breathing technique that I think you'll find helpful. It will take practice, but it's worth it. And another issue might be the breath hold. Make sure when you're holding that you're not "sitting" and putting all the pressure on your lungs. Allow your body to continue supporting its shape. If you need to direct that pressure somewhere, perhaps think to energetically send it to you head.

Thank you 😀

You are very welcome!

No reason! Though i'm sure I would be more efficient!

Good feedback! I will keep that in mind

That is great to hear!

Thank you!

Yes, very sturdy. There's a link in the description to my amazon storefront that has the stand listed. I will do a review of all my equipment that you might find helpful. But for the stand specifically, it's very sturdy and well built. I wasn't able to find additional attachments to customize further, so I made do with the attachments it came with, which meant I had to get an incredibly tiny keyboard to fit the shelf. Considerations, it's long, I broke it down as much as I could and it's still too long to fit into a large suitcase, I'm considering sawing off part of the top a bit to get it to fit. It's also heavy-ish (I'm sure amazing will show exact weight). Overall, it's the best option I've found, rolls very well and I recommend it.

@@nastasiamarquez6472 Thanks, I'll take another look at your Amazon store - I didn't see it in there earlier, but It was a quick pass through. Safe travels.

Hi there, i just double checked and it should be under "recordiing equipement"!

Sure thing! I'll be making some review videos soon of my various equipment. In the meantime I use AKG headphones, and I highly recommend them. Comfortable, playback is incredibly reliable and sensitive.

​@@nastasiamarquez6472 is it required to use amp/dac for k240? ...or maybe just answer that in your k240 review. just subscribed to you, looking forward to that video 🙂

Glad it was helpful!

I promise its in the works! I am taking my extra time with it(:

The audio technica AT2020 is a good mic about $100, that will be sufficient for just about everything you want to do until you're ready to invest in a professional mic. I use the akg c414 about $1000

@@nastasiamarquez6472 thank you!

Thank you! 😃

Yawning is a lot about stretching. Your body is trying to stretch internal muscles and release tension. So pushing your tongue forward will help stretch your whole tongue and keep your throat open.

Thanks so much! I will be sharing more about the tour on my IG soon!

You are so welcome

That is so kind, best of luck to you!

You bet!

So true! Best of luck!

Hey there! Gosh, that's a tough one. I haven't taken any online classes, but my thoughts are if you don't know exactly what your focus in what you want to learn is, then it might be tricky to find something that meets your needs. I've been thinking about putting together little focused courses. Why don't you tell me some of the questions you have when trying to figure out your way and I might be able to put together some things. I.e. Marketing, making a demo, etc.

@@nastasiamarquez6472 I know there's a plethora of information on KZbin, but it still feels like there's little direction and structure when it comes to applying it! Questions I'm definitely thinking about when I'm looking into a course are: how to approach copy (tone, pitch, pacing); practical exercises and assignments; guidance on how to use pay-to-play platforms effectively?

You can do it! Practice makes perfect.

I 100% understand. I'm starting to feel the audition process is getting a bit antiquated. I have my select agents that I love to work with, and this past year I've been getting booked based on my demo and not an audition. Which is how I think it should be. But I'm thinking to lean more into growing my clientele base larger and creating the projects I'm interested in, instead of chasing the endless audition process.

@@nastasiamarquez6472 Nastasia, I am with you! I’ve always been a fairly decent artist, so, now that my feet are ‘somewhat’ wet in voice acting, I’ve thought about dabbling in digital art and trying my hand at animation and combining the two. So much to learn though and time is always a factor. For voice over though, at what point do you think someone is ready to look for an agent? Again I’m only in just shy of a year so still quite a green horn, but just trying to look at things realistically.

You are so welcome!

Yes, just comes with the territory, but most of the time you learn something from it, even if it's just discretion on choosing coaches haha

Honestly, when I was building my clientele base, I would really look up all the businesses in a specific niche or field, and reach out to them directly. Some companies keep a small listen of talent on hand to utilize for projects, so you can get your name in the mix.

@@nastasiamarquez6472 awesome thank you for the feedback. Really appreciate it! 😊

Thank you! Practical, but still achievable!

You are so welcome!

I couldn't agree more. Part of building any business is wading through all the fluff and marketing, but the most reliable source is yourself so carving out your own path is the most stable approach.

The investments can certainly be costly, but you can always get resourceful and figure out how to edit really well with more affordable equipment. Best of luck!

@@nastasiamarquez6472 oh dannng I thought you’d be to famous to see 😎 Thank you very much! I’ve actually been working on samples and using what I have to edit the recording 🙏

Sorry for the delay on this, but I actually just made a more in depth video as a response/answer to your comment. I hope you find it helpful(:

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Amazon! I'll link it in my storefront so you can find it easily.
