I'm in the "not a voice actor" category, but I am 100% sure I k ow why I'm here. I'm here because you're awesome, and I want to support the things you do

Lol same... we just moved tho, so I guess I have an excuse.

[@br12_]

I’m in my closet , if ya get whatta mean

[@Beansandbeansinc]

Norahcake 21 come out sometime the outside world is nice

[@ZephyrBW]

I use my closet too. I don’t have any equipment accept I have adobe auditions. I use blankets to cover the surroundings area I’m in sitting, when I record. So improvising you know, I spend a lot of time editing to clean the voice by getting rid of the back sounds.👍

[@thespacesisters2031]

Does anyone else miss Fantastic Geeks? I love that podcast so much and wish that it would come back. I have recently been rewatching all of Brizzy and Tessa’s videos together.💙🤍

[@thespacesisters2031]

Thank you so much hearting my comment! 💙🤍

[@ellieanneauthor]

Brizzy: “Does the ceiling look like absolute garbage cosplaying as a party city dementor?” Also Brizzy: *yes*

[@michael_bullard]

If I ever won the lottery, I now have an idea to buy a building in LA and convert it entirely into soundproofed VO studios

[@bwingbwinggwiyomi]

Dang can I be one of the VA's who attend said studio hahaha

[@GoldenProductions2019]

You don’t have to wait to do that cause these days equipment is so cheap these days and it sounds amazing you should go for it now cause the sooner you get it the more you will learn about it

[@ajreyesf13]

I'm always so happy to hear other people talk about all the outside noise they hear when they're in their studio. My closet studio is about 30 feet away from a VERY busy street, and it's right under a tree that loves to scratch when it feels even the gentlest of breezes, lol.

[@tessanetting]

Ohhhhh this is so helpful 👀

OMG hi Tessa and Brzzy ok love you I am a HUGE harry potter fan

[@melissathompson8250]

Sooooooooooooooooooooo helpful

[@GeekCulture101]

Soo cool! In my younger days i did some voice overs for local commercials and had to go to the local cable company for it and remember thinking the vocal booth is something one should be able to easily do at home.

[@dreamofmedeukae]

This is giving me such flashbacks when I had crammed myself into my tiny tiny closet to try and audition for an online musical ages ago 😅

[@bwingbwinggwiyomi]

Successful? Lool keep pursuing your dreams nonetheless :)

[@FunnyGuyTimmy]

I never get tired of watching VO studios getting put together. It's so satisfying. :)

[@danielodeon4064]

I just ordered an NT1-A and a Scarlett Solo.

[@brizzyvoices]

NOICE

[@GoldenProductions2019]

The Rode Nt1a is a great microphone and the Scarlett solo is an amazing interface that sound amazing you made a great choice

[@collincommiskey4819]

@@brizzyvoices can you think of any reason to buy a 2i2 over a Solo if just working on VO?

[@greatscottvoicemedia8651]

The mic she was holding in the video is the RODE NT1, NOT the RODE NT1-A. They are different microphones and sound VERY different from each other! The NT1 is black and the NT1-A is silver. They are slightly different in price but both in the same general price range, but I think the black one that Brizzy is holding (RODE NT1) is a much better sounding mic. In my humble opinion.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

It looks so much better than it was before, what a transformation

[@user-id1hj5xt5d]

Wow I’ve seen you on like 5 different channels we have super similar taste 😂

[@JenniferLaveryFBE]

It must be so nice to have a giant wardrobe to hide your booth in. Houses in the UK just don't have walk-ins like this! It looks amazing, though. :)

[@Aisha_Luv]

when are you and tessa gonna do fantastic geeks again? i need it during quarantine!🥰 and the new mic would be perfect....

[@brizzyvoices]

sadly we probably won't be picking it up again until after quarantine is over.

[@patrickh3895]

Brizzy Voices I miss Fantastic Geeks but honestly that’s the right decision to pick it up after quarantine is over.

[@Aisha_Luv]

sad, but i understand.

I know exactly what you were going thru. Left over cheap foam. Very nice hun, proud of you. BTW, you did very good on describing the small details. Very talented!!!

[@indyaprince]

Using this for heavy inspiration in my oddly shaped half sized walk-in closet

[@yassvaritaass]

I've always wanted to turn some random closet in my house into a recording studio, but never got around to it. So, I just watch videos like this one. Love you Brizzy ❤

[@unouni2548]

Me, who knows nothing about sound nor sound-proofing: OOHHH that's the best mic in the business, and the foam, THE FOAM!

[@tricogustrico]

With the music background I can't tell how good your space really sounds.

[@Grenadreams]

I am taking notes based on this video for my small studio I want to make for recording. Thanks for showing us the process Brizzy, you're such a doll!

[@mandelorian3689]

Thanks good to hear that you're keeping busy... I'm happy for you that things are going well for you. Looking forward watching upcoming videos of yours.

[@florianb81]

You are never to old for color in your life! Great to see you are all setup for a bright future. Wish you all the best for your endeavours. Looking forward to see more videos from you as well. Stay safe and healthy

[@chaseportugal5428]

Congrats on the hard work and upgrade on your studio. Always so satisfying to watch things get organized. Also hope the new set-up works wonders for your future voice over work.

[@zeezahra3898]

Your voices are so amazing! Thank you for making quarantine so much better @Brizzy Voices

[@PlanetLovingMom]

I just love watching people organize stuff 😁❤️ Great closet!

[@ProfessorQBert]

Well the sound in this video is crystal clear, so clearly the new setup is working out great

[@pufflesfox]

I honestly liked all the little toys and trinkets in the background in your old studio, but this is definitely more professional!

[@icymoons]

been following you since forever, Brizzy, and it's so heartwarming to think how you used to introduce yourself as a voice impressionist and now you're a real voice actor! ❤

[@mnicholson2003]

Love it!! Very well done! The sound is spot on and your VO...AWEWSOME!!

[@juliesiklossy3192]

I love what you did. It looks beautiful.

[@briwanderz]

thanks Brizzy for the video.. i needed a distraction after receiving bad news about my mom. your smiling happy personality is always such a great thing to see.

This is going to be my upcoming walk in closet project!!

[@lewisedwards4058]

Man what a dream... currently graduated college and into the Corona-conomy so I’m working two jobs atm, but doing voice over work is a dream of mine. Focusing on watching and reading as much info on how to get started properly while saving up money. You’re definitely an inspiration!

[@BigSteveKellz]

Watching this definitely got me in a cleaning mood. My cousin just recently moved out of my place so I got a whole lotta reorganization to do

[@Laura_DiNunno]

Whoa. Perfect timing.

[@mrcheezypop]

Looks so good!! Well done! And I can relate so hard to the neighbor's shower. That was me yesterday waiting until the waterfall from above stopped so I could continue recording. VO life!!

[@britneyvance8955]

How are you so amazing at this!? I can listen to this all day! Wait i already do!😂

I absolutely love seeing you geek out over this masterpiece! I would love to see more behind the scenes stuff one day! And congrats on so much success! I remember watching that original pokemon voice video! You've come so far and that's so cool!

Loving watching this process, so satisfying!! :D

[@JanosFabio]

Whoa this is awesome, you did such a good job! I’ve been thinking about doing a way scaled down version of this for my voice overs and this video gave me a lot of great ideas. Also thanks for all the recommendations. That foam is expensive but I hear it makes a difference :D

[@moondust3526]

I am nowhere near the business of voice acting, but I've very near the business of supporting Brizzy and learning new things, so this was fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

[@tinagerhardt2376]

I really love your personality. I am starting my voice-over journey. Thanks for the tips.

[@grahamclark4518]

You've done a great job, very nice kit too

Try label remover spray on the wall the next time you take panels down to clean off the old spray.

I've just decided to *really* pursue my passion and curiosity of voice acting/voiceover work this whole past week so this video came at the right time and your studio set up looks so cool and ideal nonetheless!

Hi Brizzy! Great job, I hope you love it. I'm also impressed by how you make the most of what you have. Both your closets are goals! I'd love an Island Tour next week. Another future video idea could be to voice characters from books. Thanks!

You did an amazing job turning your closet (which appeared to be hit by a hurricane and then an earthquake lol) to an incredibly good looking sound studio!!

Great video...The first Mic you had looked more like the Rode NT1 than the NT1A...(My NT1 is identical to yours...black with an oblong metal pop filter) the NT1A has a round fabric one and sounds a little brighter ( I have both). Good job with the closet.
