First mic was a Logitech headset. Recorded some RUclips 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.
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!
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
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!!!!
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.
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 :)
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!
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
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.
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
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!
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! ❤❤❤
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 🙏✨
Thank you so much for this video! I'm finally dipping my toes into doing voice acting, and having a list of recommendations like this is very helpful. I'm super excited, I've always loved voice acting and aspire to do it full time.
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! 😊
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.😊
I’m officially a fan!!! Returning DJ/Host/Singer rediscovering myself and enjoy watching content from my “accolades ” ahem-ahem. More power to you and 2025 be kind to us all! ❤
Oh my mic a U-87 and have an FS-200 Kusky. My studio is the room of my 1BR Condo Unit I’m converting into a walk-in closet/ Studio. Living area into the staff’s sleeping;) where I sleep. Haha hope we can collaborate in 2025.
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.
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
Uhm… curious about setting up a basic VO system and yours is the first video I watched. You’re fascinating to listen to - now I get why voice acting is really a thing. Thanks for all the info.
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.😎👍🏾
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 RUclips 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.
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 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 ;)
This is LITERALLY the best video ever! You’re awesome! Giving us suggestions and ideas of what equipment to use in detail is amazing thank you @brizzyvoices
This video literally came out the day after I upgraded my home studio 🤣(Got a Rode nt1 A mic with my first audio interface, mic stand and Isolation shield) Love your videos
Great video! I will be sharing this with my coworker who is interested in getting started in voice acting. Also, you mentioned reducing the slight hissing noise that comes along with a USB mic. I was wondering if you could elaborate on that further.
I would love to start doing this kind of work. Your video is very informative...PLUS I love your attitude. I hope to learn a lot from you. I will definately subscribe :)
Soooo good, as USUAL, Ms Brizz:). LOVE all the detail! Your fun presentation and great info made the time buzz by for this newbie:). APPRECIATE YOU:)).. you really put things in perspective as I’ve been down the rabbit hole with information overload.. I just felt my shoulders go down and a massive exhale! Have a great day.. THANK YOU:))..
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 👌👌👌
I still need to get the enclosed space figured out. I have a partial wall covered in foam, I have an AT2020 usb mic, and a mic arm. Problem is the amount of post editing I have to do because I am in a large basement and occasionally can hear the echo.
I joined voices this month. Fun reading and recording stuff. Not all have been listened to. haha I have yet to get a job on there. But, it is still fun. I am going a bit nuts with it. haha I think, since I joined this month, I have 8-100 auditions up now. I want to get a better mic. I have one of those yeti ones. But, I will not make an excuse. I just have not gotten notices on there yet. But, I can dream. haha
Just discovered your vids and love it! Thank you for all your great knowledge! I wanted to know if you have any recommendations for gear to record if you travel and will be in another space temporarily? Thanks!!
rly surprised the audio technica at2020 didn't make an appearance in the mic section - it's an XLR mic that costs about 99 USD! a lot of XLR mics are cheaper than USB mics *because* u need an interface to use them, but the quality is higher
Question. So I’ve been practicing different voices for about 11 years now but I am also blind. I have an a disease called retinitis pigmentosa, so I have very very limited eyesight. Do you think that would have an effect on my chances of becoming a voice actor?? 1:06
Great advice for sombody who want to be a voice actor you do amazing job as a voice actor and good youtuber and good gamer on twitch take care see you on the next video my favirt youtuber brizzy voices bye
This video is a year old yet here i am, grabbing some recommendations. I've always wanted to get into va work, and my Fiance is kicking me in the butt to actually start trying 😅 hopefully both this and my engagement works out 🎉😊
How do you feel about the Shure SE215 PRO IEM's being used in place of headphones? I can't wear headsets because whenever I put any kind on, the headset bump they give me slightly bruises my scalp and hurts only after 20 minutes and buying the IEM's have helped majorly with comfort, and I don't think they leak any audio outside of my ears + they cancel out a majority, if not all, noise around me
For other voice actors out there who already be doing the thing-- would love to know your FIRST mic and your CURRENT mic!
Your my favourite voice actor brizzy.
My current mic is a very high tech piece of equipment called: my phone's mic
First mic was a Logitech headset. Recorded some RUclips 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.
@@HHSDaily OK INCREDIBLE I should've talked about more home-made options!!
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!
Now that’s she’s super famous now, it’s only a matter of before we hear her as a favorite character in a favorite anime 😁
Tf do you mean ‘Now’?
I would love to hear her voice in demon slayers.
@@eblizzard6821 now as in not before.
@@progfroggso now as in the future?
@@bakkila99 Now as in the present moment, hope that helps.
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

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.
Very educational video! I don't really care about voice acting but from the sound technical side it's still very very helpful!
thank you for watching regardless it means a lot!

This was a video I absolutely needed
You are very inspiring. Thank you for all you've taught me!
thank YOU for keepin me going! :')
Thank you for this video, once I get the time which I hope is soon, I’ll want to do everything I can to get the necessary equipment and do what I can

You're beautiful
Im not interested in doing voice acting, but do play music so this was just neat to watch and see the set up
rly surprised the audio technica at2020 didn't make an appearance in the mic section - it's an XLR mic that costs about 99 USD! a lot of XLR mics are cheaper than USB mics *because* u need an interface to use them, but the quality is higher
YAY you posted it!! Love the advice and gear breakdown!
Thank you you beautiful amazing pretty talented voice of person for this information
this is a very helpful video, Brizzy.😉
Amazing video :D
Question. So I’ve been practicing different voices for about 11 years now but I am also blind. I have an a disease called retinitis pigmentosa, so I have very very limited eyesight. Do you think that would have an effect on my chances of becoming a voice actor?? 1:06
Eye disease not a My microphone didn’t pick that up
One of the cast members from Rugrats is blind. She used brail to read her lines. I think you can do that too.
Could you test the mocrophones so we can see how it sounds?
I'm actually starting out in VO. This video is very helpful. Brizzy, ever consider becoming a teacher?
Great advice for sombody who want to be a voice actor you do amazing job as a voice actor and good youtuber and good gamer on twitch take care see you on the next video my favirt youtuber brizzy voices bye
This video is a year old yet here i am, grabbing some recommendations. I've always wanted to get into va work, and my Fiance is kicking me in the butt to actually start trying 😅 hopefully both this and my engagement works out 🎉😊
