I have a similar service with voice-overs and can offer a little advice.
The key to strong voice recording is something that is very difficult in =
a completely digital process. There is software available at much less =
cost, but quality isn't even close. Get a mic pre-amplifier and a =
compressor. You should be able to find a good mic pre in the $300 =
range. Every one has different characteristics so try before you buy. =
I found a used DBX 266a compressor for $250 that works great. Check =
the local music stores for used gear. This site was posted here =
yesterday and will give you an idea on "list" price (in this US industry =
the prices are negotiable) http://www.bswusa.com/ =20
If you want to keep your isolation booth inexpensive, carpeting, heavy =
blankets, and foam pad will work just fine. You want the room to sound =
as "dead" as possible, meaning no hard reflective surfaces. =20
Best wishes.

Subject: information on an economical voiceover booth solution
I want to build a voice over booth for recording
voice over and narration audiobytes to supplement
SMIL, RealFlash and RealVideo etc.
I would like to know what kind of equipment I would need to build
a budget voiceover booth.
What kind of Mic?
What kind of Recording Device?
Acoustic Foam etc.
I already own a Seinheiser ME66 Mic, a DXA-4S Dual XLR Adapter,
a TRV 900 Digital video Camera and the DV raptor capture card.
I get great audio results to accompany video but I have compared
the audio I have recorded to audio recorded in a studio enviroment
and there are major differences.
one person Liam L says I should get a better mic to use with the camera
another person Aaron B says a Minidisc might be all I need.
I am starting to think it is problably best if I just build a voice over =
=3D
booth.
I appreceate everyone's input.
thanx in advance.
