not a whole lot

just the beginning of drama on the battlefield

what with gigolo being gigolo

accusing people of keeping secrets and hinting at stuff

going to meet gen stanton

kefka throwing magnetite and talking and laughing and killing

chris dissipating magnetite briefly to stop john transforming

   man you all know who this is    grinning and talking to people

I'm just gonna brag because I don't even care at this point

A thing that happens while I'm cashiering is that people will frequently go "hey wow you have a really nice voice do you do theatre/radio/whatever" and I'll go "actually yeah I'm planning to be a voice actor and whatnot, it's a competitive industry but there's a market for people that sound like me because I have a nice neutral American accent, I'm saving up for high quality sound equipment et cetera". It happens often enough that I basically have a speech for it. So I was ringing up this guy with his family, and he said "hey that was pretty good" and I said I'd have to be since I plan on doing it for a living, and then I explained the whole voice acting thing. And it just so happened that he was the CEO for an advertising agency that just so happened to be nearby and just so happened to be looking for voice talent, and he gave me his personal business card and told me to send him my demo tape.

Now I have to buy a good microphone. Like, now-ish, so I can rerecord it without it sounding like I voiced the whole thing from inside a porta-john.

Oh my goodness, congratulations!

I really hope this works out for you, this sounds like a great opportunity.

Do you have any specific microphones in mind?

One of these. Maybe not that colour, I like the black one better, but whatever.

Of course I'll also need a wind screen, and some tri-board to line with empty egg cartons because the accoustics in here are shit anyway, but this is actually a thing that's happening now.

Spaz, this is such a great development. Opportunities like these are worth taking a plunge for, so do everything you need to maximise your chances.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

Well, I don't know anything about microphones or acoustics but I guess all those reviews can't be wrong.

Yeah, seriously, I'm really happy that you've got this opportunity. I'm sure you'll do great and I hope it works out.

Good luck.

I'm so excited. Maybe I'll get to enthusiastically back a product I've never heard of before in my life.

well

watch these

cause it's basically everything i know

[1]

[2]

[3]

but in all honesty, like

blue yeti

might

be good to get a feel for everything

dont buy hundreds of dollars worth of shit just so you can learn how to do it

learn and then buy the shit

then again you probably already thought that and im just being an idiot

He mentions Shures. I've been looking at those too but they're expensive. Also probably not at Best Buy.

This seems to be the best one they have. But this one is really fucking sexy, only it's not as good.

#482298: Feb 26th 2016 at 10:07:39 PM

Basically what I've done is I set aside a nest egg of my last six paychecks for this, so it's not like I couldn't afford the Shure mics and the good equipment to match if I really wanted them (which I do honestly but the Yeti is so much cheaper). If I'm gonna do this properly I might as get the SM7 instead of spending a hundred bucks on a still not-great microphone before then buying the microphone I'll actually be expected to have, not to mention the interface and the cords and the cardboard and egg cartons.

I mean for fuck's sake, right now my setup is "clip-on microphone that I accidentally broke while trying to clip it onto something so now I've taped it to an empty bottle of moscato to keep it upright but now it's upside-down and I don't really care enough to fix it or apply fresh scotch tape anymore".

welp

that's last post for the day

free interact i on both groups, though battlefield can't leave stanton's dungeon office

@Squid: I can't give you advice really because I know nothing about microphones

but I mean if you're going to get a lot of use out of it, it's better to spend a bit more for a bit higher quality, I would think anyway
