What is the best kind of microphone to buy for Voice-overs?

Question

Dynamic? Condenser? Do you recommend any Brands?

Answer 1

All microphones tend to change, or "color" the sound somewhat. Many times a microphone will be chosen to work within a particular acoustic environment - a small "live" studio calls for more directional microphone, where a large "dead" studio would call for an omnidirectional mic . Dynamic mics tend to be more rugged, but there are exceptions, Condensor mics tend to be "warmer" - due to their large diaphragms, but again there are exceptions.

For a voice-artist, the choice of microphone is very much like the choice of a particular instrument maker for a musician. It depends not only on the sound and style of your particular voice, but also your tastes. A heavy metal rocker might choose a particular guitar due to the "brute force" sound it produces through a massive sound system, while a classical or jazz musician might choose a different instrument for it's warmth.

A decision might also be made based on the work environment. An Electro-Voice RE20/27 (The ones you see on "Fraiser"), is very forgiving in terms of placement - you can be three feet away from the thing and, except for volume, it will sound the same as if you're 2 inches from it. -Not so for a $4000.00 Neuman U87.

Then, there are the listeners to consider. Everyone's different. If your listeners have been to a lot of rock concerts, they're probably close to deaf in the high frequency ranges - they'll pretty much need a very "bright" sound to hear it - and you'll want a very "crisp" sounding mic. (Beyer ribbon or Senheiser ribbon/dynamic) On the other hand, if they can still hear, they'll probably prfer a very "mellow" sounding mic. (Neumans, Studio Projects etc.) Then, of course, everything changes when you mess with the EQ.

If your project is for AM radio - to be listened to in the car, you'll probably want a crisper mic. But again, that depends on how "crisp" your voice is.

Best thing to do - rent or borrow a mic, try it out in with your partiular voice, your particular studio environment, and see if you like it.
