Voice-Over equipment for voicing from home

    Hey all,

    Just wondering if any of you Voice Over artists or experts out there could advise on the best equipment (mics, software and anything else necessary) to use for voicing work from home? Got approached to do a fast-turnaround ad to go out on two prominent radio stations recently so it had to be done from home, but I couldn't do it as I've only done in-studio stuff before and only have a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows Vista & Intel Pentium Inside processor which only has a small on-board mic and sound recorder, i.e. nowhere near good enough quality for VO work. Also need to be able to submit the recordings in MP3 file format....

    So, if anyone can advise on suitable upgrades or ad-ons I'd be very very grateful.

    Thanks! :D

    Have you a car? it is supposed to be a good place to record voice I have done it for a course i was doing.

    I remember a bbc journalist saying that he used to record some of his reports covered in a duvet to muffle background noise.

    audacity is a free opensource sound editing program has noise gate and other functionallity

    I know that itunes can convert .wavs to .mp3

    dont know much about mics so i won't say anything. I would imagine that its a matter of you get for what you pay for.
