The 5 Things You Need to Get Started in Voice Acting

Believe it or not, I'll tell you what these things are right off the bat.

But you need to understand the why rather than the what. The process and your efforts will be meaningless if you can't use the things provided to your advantage.

So here are the things you need. I will separate each requirement into different sections:

• A good microphone, a laptop & the space for solitude

• Getting comfortable hearing your voice & other methods

• Using empathy

• Less is More

• Your reason that drives your motivation for going into voice acting

I had to emphasize that very last point since it can either last you for a few or several years at most, or it can last you much longer than that.

1. Your Equipment and Space

Yes, you'll need a microphone that can capture high-quality sound.

Unfortunately, exceptionally high-quality microphones like the Blue Yeti are at least $100+.

Luckily, you can still get similar results for 1/5 of the cost.

I recommend getting these two items, a USB microphone and foam ball-type microphone windscreen, together which I use:

I want to get the #1 recommended microphone by Amazon!

I want to reduce as much unnecessary noise as I speak!

or if you'd rather prefer to get something that's all-in-one:

I want to save myself the headache of recording my voice!
