People read my blog who I don't even know. Usually it's a good thing. Take David G Beneke for instance; an audiobook narrator, and a geek like me when it comes to audio hardware (only his expertise vastly supersedes mine). Beneke sent me an email a few days ago saying he just found a really...
You know me, I'm a big Zoom electronic devices fan. I own or have owned the H4, H4n, H6n audio recorders, and the Q8 video/audio recorder. None of those models have give me any pause for regret. Now: the Zoom Q2n. It lets you record hi-fidelity audio, and oh...it comes with a built-in camera...
Guys...I'm talkin' mostly to you. Some of us (ahem) tend to be geek/tech heads about voice acting (you know who you are!). We can easily make the mistake of believing that a better mic/preamp/DAW/mic cable/mixer/shockmount/USB interface/yada/yada/yada will make us sound better. That's true up to...

Because I'm a geek at heart, I've probably written more blogs about gear than anything else. Or a close second.Especially blogs about mobile recording, and even more specifically, about mics that you can plug into a smartphone. Most recently I wrote "The All-in-One Smartphone A/V Studio". The...
Geekhood status does not mean you have an osmotic mind...it just means you love the idea, the smell, the feel, the allure of technology.Much of the hardware/software challenges that come with being a voice actor are fun for me...but for some reason, the finer points of microphone pickup patterns,...
