Voice Over Equipment and Software? | Thread profile

What do you use to capture and edit voice overs? I.e. how do you like to capture voice over audio? What do you use to edit the voice over track?

Looking at those materials, I'd suggests converting one of your closets into a voice-over recording booth. Cheap enough. JM

The simpliest thing to do is carpet the walls of your "studio". Get some remnants and start hanging.

If you cant get carpet - use foam bedding material from walmart - or accoustical foam squares place on the walls. You dont have to cover the entire wall - just place them here and there ...
