The good news is, contrary to popular belief, the cost is not perfectly parallel to the microphone\u2019s quality. The microphone is actually not one-size-fits-all equipment. It\u2019s relative to your voice, your studio, and the supporting tools alongside.<\/p>\n
The Voice Realm presents this definitive guide in choosing a microphone that spans across different microphone types, connectivity, mic character, quality, and budget. Let\u2019s take a look at what\u2019s well worth the investment for you.<\/p>\n
Three Types of Microphones<\/strong><\/h2>\nUSB Microphone ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/usb-microphone-200x300.jpeg\")
<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\nThis kind of mic is what we highly recommend if you are really on a tight budget and are after portability. There are USB mics that are also condenser mics. USB mic plugs directly to your computer\u2019s USB port without any additional equipment, making it very convenient if you do most of your projects at your home studio or if you\u2019re always on the go with your laptop. This mic type captures an above-average sound which is not bad for entry-level voiceover project. However, USB microphones are not as versatile as the regular microphones because they are dependent on your computer. Therefore, USB mics are not for you if you do more of your work in the field or stages.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Dynamic Broadcast Microphone<\/strong><\/h4>\nDynamic Broadcast Microphones are often used in radio broadcasting. They are generally easier to use because they can be small and don\u2019t require much power to work. They produce warm sound and are very conducive in stage use. Dynamic microphones are good for general vocals that don\u2019t necessarily need accurate and smooth reproduction, such as interviews, hosting, and live venues. They are suitable for podcast hosting, general voice recording, recording voices outdoors, and recording very loud items, such as drums, guns, and explosions.<\/p>\n

Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thevoicerealm.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/large-diaphragm-condenser-microphone-200x300.jpeg\")
<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\nCondenser microphones are considered the industry standard for voice actors. These mics are often used in music studios since they have very detailed and lively sounding middle and upper frequencies. Condenser microphones are also excellent for field recording, as they are more sensitive than dynamic microphones and have a flatter response that is suited to capturing detailed audio.<\/p>\n
