Moose, in taking a quick peek, I suggest you consider removing the "about me/gear" section (no one cares about your gear, at least no one who might hire you) and put your contact info there ... |

About as often as I feel like moving stuff around in my office. Beyond proving that we exist, showing some examples of work (and, if you are seeking representation, demos), and providing contact info, ... |

Oh no, now you've aroused my inner Gear Monster. I know in my heart that I don't need to try the 2017, but I sure do want to.
I figured the 8060 problem was a "me" problem -- user error. ... |

Interesting. I'm trying to understand what this provides over the MKH50, which I use (after years of 416 use, which I now use only on the road). Is it just the slightly lower price? Shoutout to Philip ... |

Bob knows a hell of a lot more than I do about game voices, so I offer this personal perspective a little sheepishly. I would say many voices are grounded these days, something I've noticed in the one ... |

I agree with Bruce that you should avoid superlatives in praising others' work. Letting them know you watched and enjoyed is plenty.
Rather than describe your vocal qualities (frankly, "warm, ... |

Self-taping for on-camera is so much harder than what we do. Hair, makeup, memorizing, costuming, lighting, video editing, AND sound on top of it--it's a ton of work. Actors were doing it before covid ... |

First thought is a bad cable or connector. Do you have a mic switch in the booth? They can get loosey goosey. If you haven't done it yet, switch out the cable first.
If that isn't it, then try tapp ... |

The MKH50 was a real eye opener for me. I've tried all the Senn variants and this one nails it for my voice. |

And Bish, that's really the point, isn't it? Find a mic that works and stop worrying. Most modern mics will be fine for the great majority of applications. It's not like I insist on Mic X when I go to ... |

Excellent comments, MBVOXX. Cory Burton has famously discussed (and dissed) the 416 for modern voice recording, and that man knows mics. Like many VOs, I purchased a 416 early on because it was the mi ... |
