0:00.0 | Coming up on hands-on tech, let's take a look at what you might need if you are looking at setting up your voice acting career. |
0:08.5 | Stay tuned. |
0:09.6 | This is Twitter. |
0:16.2 | Hello and welcome to Hands on Tech, the show where I, Micah, Sargent, take your tech questions and do my best to answer them. |
0:24.5 | We get in some great questions of all sorts from different topics and subjects, and it's always a good time to, A, figure out what people are struggling with out there and what I can help with, but also to see what people are into, what kind of tech they're using and occasionally learn some new things myself. |
0:45.5 | This week's question is a fun one, because I think it's a little bit different from what we're used to where we're kind of troubleshooting computer issues. This one comes in from Faye, |
0:56.9 | and Faye writes in to say, what microphone slash setup would be best for voice acting? Is there a |
1:03.6 | standard mixer slash audio editor that people record on? I'd love to know what your take is as a |

1:49.8 | first and foremost, I'm going to say this. There's no, sometimes you see people make the mistake |
1:57.1 | of investing a bunch of money in something that either A, they unfortunately do not find success |
2:06.9 | in, or B, decide that it's not for them. And given those things, you don't want to over-invest because over-investing is, again, going to, it's risky. |
2:24.3 | It's risky to do. So let's talk about some things to be aware of before we even talk about the |
2:32.6 | microphone. I argue, and actually so do many others, |
2:39.0 | that the space you are in is more important in so many ways |
