I had the good fortune to have a big recording session recently, a coordinated campaign of 30+ Radio / TV spots that will run weekly through the year. The audio engineer did 100% of the recording in a basic room (not a vocal booth) with a Zoom h5 and a Sennheiser shotgun Mic. While the mic is a pricey one, that h5 is quite affordable and can pull double duty as a portable recorder and an interface for your computer.
There is no reason to believe that for the beginning Booth Junkie that a Shure SM7B or even a Shure Beta58 wouldn’t also make excellent, rugged Mic choices for this setup.
Even though I was recording at a TV station, it was an eye opening experience to not be in a fancy studio with a huge console and glass separating me from the engineer. It was a very achievable bare-bones home-studio setup for anyone to begin their voiceover career.
