Posted by Michelle Falanga on April 22, 2012 at 12:35pm I need to know things like: Is my Audacity program sufficient and if so, how to select the correct settings on that when recording and saving aup. files, if the snowball and USB connection is the problem - like Mike mentioned, what are my other options....I need to have a professional quality sound and I kind of need "hand holding" to get to that point. Need someone to look at what I have, troubleshoot to know where I am lacking and get me up and running sounding great!!!!! I need a miracle, on a budget...ha ha...
Posted by Joell A. Jacob on April 22, 2012 at 10:58am Michelle,
Look up Dan Lenard. He may not be able to come to your house, but he does a great job at helping you set up via Skype. I recently hired him and he's been a great help. Good luck!
Posted by Mike McGonegal on April 22, 2012 at 10:24am Michelle,
It might not be the PortaBooth that's at fault - it's probably more likely the SNOWALL and the USB signal path that you're using. While USB mics are good for auditions, there's a reason professional studios don't use them... To test things out, run your SNOWBALL into a heavily padded room (like a closet), and do a quick recording. If you hear more line noise (static or other unaccounted for noise) than ambient room noise (the neighbors, cars, etc.); the problem is the USB signal path and not your recording environment.
If that's the case, you'll need to find a way to solve that problem first becuase having an awesome recording environment will just make a crappy signal chain that much worse...
...and while yes, $349 for a Porta-Booth is a bit on the pricey side, it's very short money considering what you'll invest in the craft to be able to play on an international level.
Hope this helps some and doesn't intimidate you at all. :-)
-Mike
Posted by Michelle Falanga on April 22, 2012 at 10:10am 2 part question... In addition to voice work I have gotten locally (recording in professional studios), I have done some small work from my home, with VERY "make shift" surroundings, but while the recordings are good enough for podcasts and certain clients, the quality if NOT where it needs to be for higher end jobs.
1) I was wondering if anyone out there knew of someone who (for a small fee) might come out to help me to set up my home studio for the best sound. Someone who really understands the settings etc.... I currently have a SNOWBALL microphone and use the AUDACITY program and I bought a Harlan Hogan portable sound booth, which I feel like I must be using wrong, because it does not sound better in it and it was expensive :(
2) Wondered out of the Voice123, Voices.com, VO Planet, etc... which one people felt was best and why. Once I get set up with my home studio, I plan to TRY OUT one of them for a year and see what happen.
Thanks,

Posted by Jeremiah Kissel on April 14, 2012 at 5:15pm HAA!!! FANTASTIC! I guess I DID see this years ago, but forgot about it. Got me again, laughing out loud.
Posted by Peter Edmund Haydu on April 14, 2012 at 3:47pm This has been around for a few years now, but in case someone hasn’t seen it yet...
Posted by Cindy Brooks on April 6, 2012 at 2:43pm I don't know about the lower end of the spectrum though Paul. There are certainly some really bargain basements rates on there but you do see (and I get the leads) that can be very good for a non union talent! You are right, there is a LOT of competition out there. With radio talents getting cut left and right, more and more people are setting up home studios. All I can stress is network, audition, treat your clients VERY well, do a good job and expect to not make a lot of money if you are just starting out. I've been doing fulltime vo work for 8 years now and it's allowed me to buy a house all on my own this year!
Posted by Paul Horn on April 6, 2012 at 2:39pm I'd be very interested in hearing from other folks like Cindy who've had any experience with online casting companies like Voice123, Voices.com, etc. There's a lot of competition, but one job can certainly pay the "price of admission." From what I"ve seen, sites like these cater primarily to non-union producers and the lower end of the pricing spectrum, but evidently they're doing something right.
Posted by JC Haze on April 6, 2012 at 2:34pm Yes -- I'm Soooo with Cindy on this one. Those 2 websites are great for beginners to learn their chops, and earn some bucks. YES, even beginners can make some money. You'll probably make your "fee" back and then some. But remember, don't EXPECT to win lots of gigs. If you get 1 or 2 out of every hundred you audition for--that's about average. And you'll learn a bunch, too, by visiting their forums & reading their emails.
