Since this is a dynamic mic, it's not going to be as impressive as a condenser mic when used in a recording booth. But you can take advantage of its proximity effect to get some extra low end and deliver some great takes for cheap. Also, the high noise ceiling means you can scream into this mic as loud as possible without any issue. [Read our full review:](https://va-nutshell.com/home/mic-reviews/shure-sm58-review/)

The AT2020 is a well-made condenser mic that offers great mileage for professional voice actors. I've spoken and worked with professionals who have used this mic for video games and cartoon voice acting gigs. However, you should definitely replace this with a better mic once you've progressed in your career.

I love how many accessories you get when you buy this mic brand-new: two carrying cases, a shock mount, pop filter, and detailed documentation. Unfortunately, the weird black and yellow visual motif makes it a lot harder to read the polar patterns and frequency response for this mic. Still, it's an awesome mic for voice acting and podcasting that probably won't be this cheap for long. [Read our full review:](https://va-nutshell.com/home/mic-reviews/neat-king-bee-review/)

I love being able to directly monitor my audio when using the UR12 to test microphones, although I did need to buy an adaptor for the 3.5mm studio jack. Unfortunately, the D-PRE Yamaha preamp that's built into this interface doesn't provide great gain, so you might want to spring for something a little more pricey if you want to use a sensitive mic.

This is one of the cheapest audio interfaces that can still be effective as part of a professional voice acting recording studio. The third generation of the Scarlett Solo has clean gain, making it great for bringing out sound from sensitive microphones.
