On the whole, we voice actors seem unnecessarily obsessed with obtaining that perfect “on-the-road” mobile recording experience.
How many of us actually NEED that? Naw, forget that question. I understand being prepared, and I’ve got my methods…my portable unit. I pay attention to what Dan Lenard — The Home Studio Master — says on EWABS.

There may be hope for journalists after all!
