For other voice actors out there who already be doing the thing-- would love to know your FIRST mic and your CURRENT mic!

[@mr7463]

Your my favourite voice actor brizzy.

[@raxacoricofalapatorian5256]

My current mic is a very high tech piece of equipment called: my phone's mic

[@HHSDaily]

First mic was a Logitech headset. Recorded some KZbin work on that. Upgraded to the Snowball for Queen Opala years (Early 2010s). Now use the Blue Yeti. I made my own pop filters out of wire and panty hose. I also recorded in my closet.

[@brizzyvoices]

@@HHSDaily OK INCREDIBLE I should've talked about more home-made options!!

[@Kaori_Suzuki]

My first was a um2 interface with pyle dynamic mic. My current is a scarlett 2i4 and blue spark xlr mic. but I'm gonna be upgrading my interface to an ssl2 after Christmas!

[@Gdub6798]

Great video Brizzy it will definitely help some aspiring voice actors. I may not need the information personally it still appealed to the part of me that likes to know how things work.

[@brizzyvoices]

THANK YOU DUB

@@brizzyvoices Hello i do Voiceovers as well i was wondering getting Started how can i get paided to do my voiceovers? Of Characters

[@CalderTheArtist]

i'm not a VA but i do love good headphones, and i can confirm that the sony mdr7506's are a wonderful option if you want an almost completely flat response curve to hear your sound as "dry" (without any adjustments or edits) as possible, which is generally how your audio engineers want it anyways they're super clear for actual audio quality and are built like tanks, there's a reason they're so popular, just be prepared to deal with an absurdly long coiled cable all the time edit: also ohms are just a measurement of resistance, low ohms means more noise can get in to the signal and subsequently into your ears, anything above 30 is fine for most people, anything above 120-200ish requires a specific amplifier powerful enough to drive the sound, otherwise they're just gonna be super quiet. anywhere from 30-80 is a good level for 99% of people and setups, and for those that need something different, they would know enough already to ignore me LMAO

[@leahography1303]

Brizzy, you've always had the gates wide open for VA/VO stuff, and I appreciate it so so much 😁

[@grayson2096]

Hey Brizzy, new fan here, I got into a class of Dubbed voice acting this year and this video is great. Maybe I would get my recording studio later in the next 2 maybe 3 years. But thank you for the info on what to get when you start your voice acting career!!!!

[@jessguinn]

Super helpful, thank you! I’ve been a fan of you for a while now and I finally plunged into voice over classes last year 😊it’s been a wonderful journey, can’t wait to see where it goes

[@XemeraldXD]

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for being so nice to beginners! Ive seen a lot of these types of videos that say "dont buy these cheap mics, they sound bad! Spend money!!" And not everyone has that money! Thank you for confirming that its fine to get cheaper stuff if youre a beginner!

[@dsteele6594]

Your video is definitely a great guide for all levels. Gives wonderful recommendations, especially on a budget, for aspiring VOs and explains things in concise manner. Great Job!

[@Ellyonmars]

I just got a new laptop (a huge step up from my 14 year old MacBook Pro), a new interface, and a new mic! im really excited to take my first steps in voice acting even if its just free online gigs :) also I resonated with how much you talked about Crispin, that mans word is my gospel on this stuff 💀anyways thank you for the content and videos on this type of stuff, im looking foward to more in the future :)

[@FredoSaki]

Very educational video! I don't really care about voice acting but from the sound technical side it's still very very helpful!

[@brizzyvoices]

thank you for watching regardless it means a lot!

[@Wulf6491]

If you dont mind tips, and if so I apologize for giving advice un requested. Thermal insulation foam, like what a person with bad windows might put in their window in the summer/winter to block the outside temperature, are really good sound proofing pads, as long as some piece of fabric, even like an old shirt, is placed over it. It is no where near as good as the professional options available, but for large spaces, like a ceiling, it is a good budget option. Also mattress toppers, blankets, towels. Anything heavy fabric, or furry fabric, for beginner home recording closet filler.

[@timothyphan9346]

A free workshop from the great Brizzy?? Christmas came early for us, kids! Thank you so much, Brizzy!

[@yassvaritaass]

This is such a wonderful and helpful video! I’ve been a fan of yours since 2013, and have been working towards a semi-professional voice over career for a while. Love you Brizzy! ❤❤❤

[@mikecernicek]

Brizzy! You KILL the game. I've been watching your videos for about 8 years now and I appreciate what you do. After 28 years of life on this planet and being unsure of what I want to do in the world, I have decided to get into voice acting! You and Brian Hull are large inspirations to this thought, so thank you for being awesome :D

[@brizzyvoices]

AWW THIS IS SO SO SWEET THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@PipJankin]

Forever been told I should be a voice actor.. just recently discovered how much I enjoy it and how many voices I can actually do… thank you for the info

[@indexical1897]

This was my dream job when I was young but had no idea how to get into it. Love this video and hope it helps some young aspiring performers.

[@ThePeacefulArtist]

I know I'm late to viewing and commenting. Yet this was so great and so glad to be part of this wonderful community you made. Been subscribed for nine years now what's crazy. I hope you got to have a wonderful and safe holiday season Brizzy! 😊

[@FunnyBrosVids]

Hey Brizzy! Nice video, found it helpful. I was actually thinking the last two days that I want to seriously start with voice acting. And then I saw your tweet, great timing! Also a big fan since 2013 back in your YouNow days. Nice to see you’re thriving.😊

[@BornAwsumb]

You are very inspiring. Thank you for all you've taught me!

[@brizzyvoices]

thank YOU for keepin me going! :')

[@williamandrews770]

Most importantly, you need talent...which Brizzy has in spades! No amount of hardware can make up for what some may lack on a more personal level.

[@bigkc4263]

I’m mainly in the music business myself. My dad has damn near every piece of equipment that you mentioned in the video. But thanks for the advice vid, Brizzy.😎👍🏾

[@HDGamerofficial]

Awesome video Brizzy! I think I just realized how lucky I am in terms of equipment, a family friend long term lent us an AT2020 XLR mic, with a great adjustable stand, and a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen! When I record gameplays my audio is clean 👌👌👌

[@brizzyvoices]

perfect!!

[@CaraHillVoiceoverArtist]

Wow! That is awesome!

[@thomasjdurfee]

I really like my little Zoom H1n. As a new-bie, it teaches you how to set levels, but it has a Low Cut Filter and a limiter. As an intermedi-ite, it is nice to use it as a backup mic+recorder in case of tech gremlins or if you know you have a limited time to record.

[@caitlinmyers]

I'm super early! Thank you so much for this - with so many beginners always asking for recommendations, it'll be nice to just be able to link them this video for equipment! Totally unrelated, but pls tell me where you got your shirt it's actually gorgeous 🙏✨

[@brizzyvoices]

Ahhh my pleasure!! :D It's a rental from Nuuly but originally from "MINKPINK"!

[@country_surf]

Just stepped into voice over for the first time, I have everything I would ever need. The only thing left is training and jobs.

[@realrayruby]

[@TuneTamasha]

This is technical in a good way. Not overwhelming, not vague. Just about right. And also true. Good tips. And yes, you can succeed even with a potato setup.

[@brizzyvoices]

Ah thank you!!! I know it’s not the most entertaining way to make a video but it was already so long so I hope it’s effective!

[@TuneTamasha]

@@brizzyvoices Trying to get into VO myself these past years and meeting some people I genuinely think this is a well edited starting point that many can appreciate. It's short to the point and you show stuff. It's nice of you to try give others the inside scoop instead of keeping it to yourself. The industry definitely needs more recognition and more new inspired talents. Thank YOU ;)

[@lotsufreda]

It's been only a few days since I made the decision to make voice acting a career. Been wondering what and what I needed to begin, then I decided to tour KZbin for ideas. I must confess this video is edicative and extremely eye-opening. Then again, i just realized i dont even know where to start from anymore. I didnt know I needed so many items. I'm not giving up this dream any day, no matter how impossible it seems right now, and I'd really appreciate it if I could be directed to any group that could be beneficial to total newbies like me. Wish me luck🙂

i'm looking to get into voice acting, but i think i'm going to just opt for either the rode nt1 or the shure mv7x, those seem to be the most recommended for an intermediate set up. i want to drop a little more money for good equipment so i don't have to replace it sooner. this video was definitely super helpful tho! you're a huge reason i want to get into voice acting in the first place.

Neumann PR'd people into thinking the TLM 103 is a budget version of the U87. It might have some derivatives of the 87, but it does not sound like it at all. And that is probably a good thing because the 87 is not the mic most people imagine it to be. It's a thinner sounding mic. I think its name and history are more popular than how it actually sounds. Personally speaking, I think a voice for voice over should have some power and authority in the low end. I'd say Neumann has better mics for that...U89, TLM 170 & 193.
