Blue Yeti USB Microphone for Recording
Blue Yeti USB Microphone for Recording By The Author Vocal Media I’ve been using this microphone for a few years now and it has become part of my soundcheck setup and pre-recording process for mixing, recording, and otherwise editing all projects I have done. It also helps with some other aspects such as backing up audio during editing to make sure you aren’t missing anything, that the final mix…

Hey, my friend wants to get started in voice acting but doesn't really know where to start... Do you possibly have a F.A.Q or a list of resources maybe? I'd really appreciate it! <3
I can give some pointers sure! I'll do two segments, the equipment/software part and then the actual acting part, it ended up being way longer than I intended so check it out below:
For hardware it's definitely easiest to start with an affordable USB mic. Ignore all the bullshit that people say of like "ThE bLuE yEtI iS gArBaGe" cuz first of all they're overreacting, it's perfectly fine, and second of all you're literally starting out so you don't need to spend hundreds and hundreds if not thousands on audio equipment. Hell if you've got an iphone you can use the audio recording thing built into that, it'll just be difficult to get consistent sounding audio unless you get a stand and filter for it. I'm getting sidetracked but yeah any blue microphone is great to start out with, I also recommend Audiotechnica, their AT2020 USB is what I started with and it served me well for many years and I think these days it's cheaper than the yeti even.
I also highly recommend a good stand and most importantly some sort of pop filter for the mic, if your microphone comes with a stand thats good and all but uh make sure it's a good stand cuz it sometimes isn't lol, like the AT2020's default stand is so flimsy and top-heavy and shitty. You want something with either a good solid base or a wide enough base that it will support the mic and not wobble or topple. It's easy enough to find one-size-fits-all mic stands online, so don't worry about that too much, but definitely look into what pop filter works well and works for you.
Tumblr media
A filter like this is gonna be very good but it can be tricky if you're tight on desk space. Otherwise you can get filters that go right over the mic like a sock and those work well enough but you'll need to still be aware of plosives (sounds like your P or T sounds) cuz those may still pass through the filter.
And then as far as software, just use Audacity. It's free, it's user friendly, you can get tons of plugins for it, it's free, there's like 5 billion tutorials for it online for whatever effect you're trying to achieve, and on top of that it's free. If you wanna sink your teeth into something more then you could do Reaper, which is less user friendly but you can do more with it and mess around with stuff easier for reasons that I won't bog this down with any more than I already have. It's not free, but only technically. It's a "paid" service, by which I mean they do charge a full price for it, but they offer a full-usability free trial of it and out of principle do not stop you from just using that trial forever and ever and never paying. Do I feel bad about abusing this loophole? Yes, but they surely knew it would happen so yknow power to the people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
One final note on the technical side, be aware of your surroundings. You may wanna figure out ways to dampen audio around you in case it'll leave background noise in your recording. Audacity has a built in noise reduction tool which has saved my ass so many times so that's good to use, but it won't work miracles. Don't expect to record with your family talking in the background and for your audio to be fine in the end, you'll still wanna make sure you can record in silence without bothering other people and cut off outside noises (air conditioning, noise from a window, etc) as much as you can. A physical solution to just static background audio is to get a shit ton of noise dampening foam panels and either pin those on the wall around where your computer is or find creative ways to hang them up around you. My solution was to get an affordable room divider with fabric panels and attach the foam to that so I could prop them up around me. But that isn't really necessary when you're getting started lol. If you don't mind being sweaty you can just throw a blanket over yourself and your computer and record in there. If you've got like a spare closet you can bring a laptop, mic, and small folding table or something into, even better!
So you get yourself a nice microphone, you get comfortable with Audacity, and you're ready to go. Now what do you do?
You learn to act.
It seems obvious but it also feels important to say it out loud just in case, voice acting is acting and if you wanna get good at it you have to put in time and effort to practice. Do you need to go and get a theater degree? No but if you're anything like me and you're on tumblr in 2023 I bet you already have one. But if you don't and you havent studied acting before, I do highly encourage taking an acting class if you're able to. If not, aside from whatever studying on the "craft" you do on your own, you just have to dive in and work at it. I feel confident as a performer right here right now, but that's because I did do a full 4 years studying and performing and on top of that I've been doing voice acting stuff online for a decade now. So if you get all the equipment and you start doing it, please don't be discouraged if it takes you time to sound good. It's not just about how to act, it's about how to work with a microphone, it's about understanding what you're saying in a way that communicates the performance with *just words* cuz you ain't got a body to help with it. It'll take time, but just keep at it.
I think a lot about this series of videos that Tom Scott made about making content online and "being successful," I'll link those videos here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Anyway the gist of it is that it's very easy to feel discouraged by many things, whether it be because one video you made got a lot of views even though you put seemingly little effort into it or it wasn't up to your standards, or you put a lot of effort into something and it got no attention at all. You'll put a lot of coal into an engine that seemingly will burn it all away and pick up very little power from it, and you'll probably do that a lot to the point where it feels pointless. Maybe once in a while you'll get a burst from it, but then back to just smoke. Don't stop. Keep making things. Keep working at it and eventually you'll get to a point where you've made so much stuff and done so many things that even if you look back on things and go "that was terrible" or "I didn't know what I was doing back then," it doesn't matter! You made all that stuff! You've got so much experience under your belt! And I bet dollars to donuts you learned so much and grew so much without even realizing it, because if you are able to look back and cringe at your former self then that means you've grown and developed. You can still judge yourself all you want, but it's better than what you were doing 4 years ago. So just find things you wanna record just for the hell of it, a poem or a fandom comic or a novel you like or funny tumblr posts or tweets or whatever the fuck. Just record it, slap it together in whatever editing software you like (good free/affordable video editing software is a whole other can of worms but my short advice is keep your eyes peeled on humble bundle cuz they've done deals with vegas pro in the past) and put it up on youtube or tumblr or tiktok or wherever. Just make stuff, keep making it for your friends or whatever amount of followers you may acrue, but most importantly make it for yourself. If you don't enjoy the process then you're not gonna get far. Find joy in the process of creating and learning and growing, and at the end you'll have a giant pile of experience you can pull from to go forth and voice act the shit out of some stuff.
I hope this far too long beginner's guide can help your friend out, but if there's anything I missed or any clarifications please feel free to ask me to expand on this! But yeah I wrote way more than I anticipated so I'm gonna go back to playing tears of the kingdom

What's your favorite brand of microphone? Is there any specific mic you'd recommend for beginners?
Hmmmm a very interesting question.
I don't have a favorite brand, the microphone brand I've owned the most, is probably Rode. The 4th gen rode NT1 was my all-purpose studio mic. I love that mic and would buy it again since it is broken. If that's what you intend to do, like ASMR, Vocal, or instrument recording. That's most people go to. The rode NTG3 is a great shotgun mic that I owned and had absolutely no use for lol.
(Side rant)
Both are very pretty flat mics which in the world of microphones, are described as sounding "natural" and "boring". Which I do agree, that's why I want to spend 1000$ on audio equipment. I.e the Sennheiser Mkh 416 for shotgun and the Neumann TLM 103 for studio. You really get the best of both words the natural sound of a flat mic and present upfront vocals.
(Side rant for this side rant)
All of these microphones I've mentioned so far are condenser mics. Which are known to be a lot more sensitive and require a lot less gain than dynamic-type microphones. A lot of people consider condenser microphones to only be good in studio environments ie recording booths, because you'll get a lot of background noise. I get the stigma but in all honestly, for all of my purposes, the benefits of clarity far outweigh the issues a dynamic mic presents. Dynamic mics have an audible hiss without a crazy good and expensive preamp in your audio interface. The Apollo twin was the only one I remember being able to do the job but now they do have a solo version, but it's still 500$.
So I suppose that's what it goes back to, what you'll be using the microphone for.
For everything, podcast, asmr, nature sounds any audio you want to record professionally. Here's what I'd recommend.
A proper audio interface like the motu m2 (200$) and the 4th gen rode nt1 (269$) it is a bit of an investment but you'd have, in my opinion, the best possible setup for that price.
For chatting on discord with your boyfriend, here's what I recommend.
Honestly, you don't need XLR or anything crazy like that. So I'd skip the audio interface and just go with USB. In my personal experience, discord didn't work well with my audio interface anyway. The blue snowball ice is a nice budget option, but if you're worried about background noise or it being too loud. I'd get something with adjustable gain. Like the HyperX QuadCast or Blue Yeti. But honestly, all of this may be overkill lol considering I just use my USB Webcam's mic for Discord calls. I've never heard any complaints.
Hope you found this helpful

tumblr girls... do any of you have recommendations for a cheapish, mid-quality usb microphone or headset... I don’t need anything super fancy just want to record clear narration for youtube videos sometimes.
I’m looking at a blue yeti nano right now because I’ve used one through my university before and liked it fine but I do not have much experience with mics so I’m wondering if there’s something better in a similar price range or cheaper and equally good

Addendum to yesterday's post about naming the Life With Althaar character "Hardyfox Fornes" on October 31, 2018:
My surprise today that this was a VERY last-minute naming for us, as the first live script-read was done with the cast on November 1, 2018!
What the hell had we called him up till then? Just "{JOHN'S BOSS}" or some placeholder? Man, he was really our least-fleshed-out character until Eli Ganias gave him a voice. THEN we knew what to do with him.
But four years ago, I was just glad to have a full draft of a script ready to read, with the Blue Yeti USB microphone (since then pretty much exclusively used for Althaar and Berit's other characters) being finally unpacked for the first time to do a scratch recording of the reading:

Choosing the Perfect Singing Microphone for Recording
When it comes to recording vocals, having the right microphone can make a significant difference in the quality of your recordings. Whether you're a professional vocalist, podcaster, or content creator, selecting the ideal singing microphone for recording is crucial. Here's a guide to help you choose the perfect microphone for your singing needs:
Tumblr media
Types of Singing Microphones:
Condenser Microphones:
singing mic for recording due to their sensitivity and ability to capture nuances in vocals.
Known for their clear and detailed sound reproduction, making them popular for professional recordings.
Require phantom power (48V) to operate, which is standard in most audio interfaces or mixers.
Dynamic Microphones:
Durable and versatile microphones suitable for live performances and studio recording.
Known for their ruggedness and ability to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL).
Require no external power source and are more forgiving of background noise.
Ribbon Microphones:
Known for their warm and vintage sound character.
Typically used for recording vocals in a controlled studio environment.
Require careful handling due to their delicate ribbon element.
Considerations for Choosing a Singing Microphone:
Budget:
Determine your budget range, as microphones vary greatly in price.
Quality condenser microphones can range from budget-friendly to high-end professional options.
Recording Environment:
If recording in a controlled studio environment, a sensitive condenser microphone may be ideal.
For live performances or home studios with background noise, a dynamic microphone can be a practical choice.
Vocal Characteristics:
Consider your vocal style and tone. Some microphones may complement certain vocal types better than others.
Test different microphones if possible to find the one that best suits your voice.
Usage:
Determine if you'll mainly be recording vocals or if you need a microphone for versatile use (e.g., instruments, podcasts).
Some microphones are designed specifically for vocals, offering enhanced clarity and presence.
Popular Singing Microphones for Recording:
Shure SM7B Dynamic Microphone:
A popular choice for both vocals and broadcasting.
Provides a warm and smooth sound with excellent noise rejection.
Ideal for recording vocals with its built-in windscreen and bass roll-off.
Audio-Technica AT2020 Condenser Microphone:
Budget-friendly option with professional-quality sound.
Known for its crisp and clear audio reproduction.
Suitable for studio vocals, podcasts, and acoustic instruments.
Rode NT1-A Condenser Microphone:
Studio-grade condenser microphone with a large diaphragm.
Delivers a detailed and transparent sound.
Includes a shock mount and pop filter for professional recording.
AKG C214 Condenser Microphone:
Versatile microphone suitable for vocals and instruments.
Offers a classic sound with a detailed midrange and extended low-frequency response.
Features a switchable low-cut filter and -20dB attenuation pad.
Blue Yeti USB Microphone:
Ideal for home recording setups and podcasting.
USB connectivity for easy plug-and-play operation.
Offers multiple polar patterns for different recording situations.
Tips for Recording with a Singing Microphone:
Proper Mic Placement:
Position the microphone at a distance that captures your voice clearly without picking up unwanted room noise.
Experiment with angles and distances to find the sweet spot for your voice.
Use a Pop Filter:
Reduce plosive sounds (like "p" and "b" sounds) by using a pop filter or windscreen.
This helps prevent unwanted bursts of air from distorting the microphone.
Room Acoustics:
Consider the acoustics of your recording space. If it's too reflective, use acoustic panels or blankets to reduce echo.
A well-treated room can greatly enhance the quality of your recordings.
Monitor Your Levels:
Keep an eye on your input levels to avoid clipping (distortion) or recording too quietly.
Adjust the gain on your audio interface or mixer to get optimal levels without clipping.
Experiment and Listen:
Every microphone and voice combination is unique. Spend time experimenting with different microphones and settings to find your perfect sound.
Use headphones to monitor your recordings and make adjustments as needed.
Selecting the right singing microphone for recording is a personal choice that depends on your budget, vocal style, and recording environment. Whether you choose a dynamic, condenser, or ribbon microphone, each type has its own characteristics that can enhance your vocal recordings. Take the time to research and, if possible, try out different microphones to find the one that suits your voice and recording needs best.
