How do you plan on spending those first few hundred dollars of your voice acting career? Sound off in the comments with the equipment and skills you're prioritizing on building for your success.
Just a tip I found useful: Good quality second hand audio equipment really holds its value. Costs less to buy in the first place, and when you outgrow it you can probably sell it for roughly the same
whenever the conversation comes to microphones, I always remember a pie chart that was made on a microphone Discord server (run by an actual sound engineer I must add): sound quality is achieved through the following factors: 30% recording environment, 30% fx plugins/mixing, 30% recording technique, 10% microphone
Hey Joe, love the vid. VA work is an interest of mine for a long time and this video has helped re-framed what seems to be a dark talk mountain, in a more real, sensible and achievable endeavour. Love your work and thanks for the vid. This has given me the motivation to plan stuff out and give it a go.
Now that I’ve been researching for a few weeks, I’ve started building a “startup” budget the same way I would with any other business. Startup cost budgeting, tracking actual spend, etc… as I move further down the road, I’ll see where the best ROIs are and focus in those areas. I also started working on a startup project plan - the only difference between this and other project plans is I’m the only actual stakeholder but scheduling things out and setting short, mid, and long term milestones will help, I think.
Great advice! Im probably going to work on my recording area first because my mic is pretty good for what i need. As of right now i only do voice acting for my own stuff here on UA-cam and occasionally for other youtubers that asked me (i do it free since it's never a big role and getting them to pay me would just not be worth it)
Keep at it, and make sure you pick the right gear for the room you're recording in, consider your environment another piece of equipment you need to maintain!
@@JoeZieja Yes thank you, I will keep that in mind! My current setup is a PVC pipe booth on carpet with VocalBooth ToGo acoustic sound blankets, and I use a tripod microphone stand. I tried to upgrade it as much as possible.
Do you have any suggestions about increasing your range? I already had a high level and a low level from a young age but there is no in-between 😅. I know that having that range is great for voice acting but its also a way to keep your vocal cords in check. Do you have any ideas? Edit: low for me is fantasy goblin deep. High is 1.1 Paimon and Normal...Billie Eillish tone.

My AT3035 is secondhand!

This makes sense!

You should spend your first $500 on Wriothesley
Money Management is a challenge for me but with a goal in mind I find it easier to use it responsibly. Thank you for the great vid.

I agree with you Mr. Joe. I also want to sing for anime video game theme too.
Keep working and building!

Great videos super informative. Still grinding until I land my first booking. I know I will be saving my money for better equipment.
