I've set aside 6 weeks to record a comedy album late this year/early next year, and man, your channel is a life-saver. I find that whenever I have a question about specific microphones or voice booth setups, your channel is always at the top of my search results. Would love to pick your brain sometime.
i really appreciate that you did not make this full of music and fast cut, zoom in then out editing, because this feels like you're my awesome neighbor who just spent some time on a saturday to help me figure out this new voice over career i'm considering. and that's awesome. i don't feel so much like a "viewer" or one of your "audience". ** thank you for all of this hard work in all these teaching videos you've made.
You're one of those rare people whose videos I would watch even if I weren't interested in voice recording. Keep it up! So helpful and interesting, with a great delivery.
Pro Sound Mixer here... consider getting a field recorder, as Mike said. Most newer ones clean up the audio pre record, preferably analog limiters, before it converts to a digital audio signal. You can cut the audio into "takes". Some recorders have apps you can monitor, on your mobile device, as the take is being recorded. You can label the project, make notes. Once done, take the SD card out and use a DAW or Adobe Audition to listen to your takes. Delete unwanted takes. Do a noise reduction to your best takes. Normalize the audio.. just a tweak, not too much because your audio sounds like a robot. Keep your files organized. Make sure you know how they like the takes labeled. Make back ups! Send out the copies to client since they are all exact duplicates. Get paid!
My Thoughts. Face the front of your SUPER CARDIOID mic AT the closet, not away from it. The absorption doesn't matter at the back of the mic if your mic doesn't pick up sound in the back or sides. (Keep in mind that this only applies to super cardioid mics. For all of you that are new to recording.) Stand just outside of the closet facing out and point the mic towards the closet (Towards yourself). You're likely to get less noise. Otherwise, everything else sounds good.
I’m recreating this setup right now. Your videos finally gave me the courage and guidance to take the leap, at 45! Haha, wish me luck Booth Junkies!! Mike, thanks for all the wonderful content. These are gems for the VO community.
You can also stand with your back towards the closet and get the same (or better) effect. The main pickup on the mic is the side facing you, so the deadness of the closet behind you will kill room noise big time in the mic.
Mike Delgaudio from No Sleep! I can't believe I met you here! I'm a fan. I'm barely dipping my toes into voiceover. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, this particular video is GOLD for me. Thank you! Brace Yourself!
What I like about your stuff is that you are a guy who is an actual voice over artist and I trust that you have tried everything you recommend, you also have a great way of explaining things.
I have been searching for good acoustic treatment vids and i finally found an entire channel dedicated to them and this guy also has a great personality
Hi Brother! This is Henok from Ethiopia. I came across your channel accidentally but I loved it. It helps people who aspire to voice over work and do some earning especially in these social media heavy era. I have worked for some of my country's radio and Tv stations as a journalist, producer and director where I find radio and voice over work better for me. I did some commercials on the radio and Tv, they don't know that I work in my home inside a closet and sofa seat that can help me to sound like a real studio. started out recording on Marantz then Taskam now I am using Zoom H4. I'm just writing excitedly to hear some stuff on your channel that I'm concerned about. it's just to say thank you.
Hey man, dunno if you read comments but I really appreciate what you do. Im a college kid trying to get into voiceover on the side just so I have a bit more to live on and your advice is really making the difference for me.
I've decided to go with this set up for my first recording studio. I Just ordered a mic set, mic stand and a zoom H5 today. All of the epuipment cost me about $400. Thanks for the information Mike.
I already have most of the gear--including a wonton-fryer pantyhose pop filter. But the Zoom... that is what I expect will replace a lot of problems with chuckling over how good life is.
This channel is utterly brilliant. I so could have used this when I was starting out - really clear and good instruction. Also, a magnificent beard haha.
Hey BJ, Great video! I'm now seriously thinking about utilising this set up to resolve my computer fan noise and the absence of a designated space for a fixed booth set up in my home. The portable recorder may be the way to go for me. Please provide the full info relating to the spec/ details for purchasing the Zoom. Thanks much.
It's great how when you turn to the mic once it's in the closet you lose the room, and then you turn back several times and the room picks up again. There's a decent difference! Great channel.
Thank you so much! The voice actor I've been doing small projects and charity projects for years now but I decided to take it more seriously. The person I was learning from told me I can't be a serious voice actor if I'm not spending at least $1,000 on my mic alone but that felt outrageous. As someone who is also getting back into music this is purely amazing. Such a breath of fresh air!
Mike, thank you for the video. You presented the clearest, most efficient, simplistic way to start recording. That I have found on TH-cam. I'm appreciate the friend who directed me to your page. Your shared experience is helping me see another avenue for my beginning. Great job!
Great video. A lot of the other videos on TH-cam are focused on a sit down setup, as the computer is needed to be right in front (e.g. recording audio for books). Yours is, of course, different ... in that you are standing up. The question I have for you is that ... with your closet setup ... where do you put your PC or laptop?
Great question! I believe he used his phone (was it in this or another video of his?) but I have the same challenge once I'm done setting up the studio. I think in the end I'll have to print out the script and tape it somewhere in the closet and use the laptop only for editing once I'm done recording.
I have a blue yeti for a mic. I was going to use it for ASMR but I will use it for voice over. Thank you for the guide, I will most definitely try this set up.
I have a blue yeti too mic also and am stuck now as this video suggest an XLR mic instead (as do other videos), which would require a different set up. Do you have yours already set up? Are you using it with a mic stand?
I got the H5 delivered and paid a 100% tariff. But I could not get it to turn on, even after using M-audio and Rolls gear to record for years. Turns out the power switch looks like a button (like the menu button) but slides gently downward to turn the unit on. The tech support people were quickly responsive and are probably laughing at the guy baffled by the ON switch.
I've been coming back to your channel for a while now. I've been told for years by many people that they love my voice and ask me why I haven't gotten into any kind of voice work. My voice is deep and bassy (is that the word for it? Lol) and carries. I recently started live streaming and doing a podcast. So far your videos have been tremendous help and I look to get into other lines of work soon.
Just brilliant. If this is not a beginner setup, dont know what else is. Also the near-absence of post production stuff, makes it so relatable. I do have one request: Could you please suggest some alternate "cheaper" option for microphones?
I had 2 issues with a similar setup: a) any movement of the mic stand gets recorded, b) you can hear what comes from the headphones Solutions to a) use an elastic microphone mount b) use in ears under closed headphones I also don't want to see a 350$ mic fall with the light stands... I always prefer heavy stands.
A bit of a clarification on the super-cardioid polar pattern. Narrower to front and less sensitive to the sides is correct, but it actually does have an area of slightly INCREASED sensitivity directly behind. Thanks for the videos!
The idea to make a portable setup like that is a genius idea! I never thought about using a Zoom to make a tidy little, battery operated and self contained recording setup. Super cool. I'm also surprised how clean the audio is--I figured the pre-amps on a tiny battery operated unit like that would be noisy and weak.
Worth mentioning I'm neck deep in my project and I am constantly getting props on the narrative work and voiceover stuff I'm doing and I owe it exclusively to you Mr. Mic!
Hello Mike, I just wanted to thank you for putting this video together, and sharing your knowledge with us. After watching this video, I found a used e100s locally for a great price, and built a setup very similar to what you have (only I use a DR60D instead of the H5), and it sounds INCREDIBLE! Blows my SM7b out of the water in terms of vocal quality, and self-noise. This is now going to be my main podcast narration setup. Thanks so much again for all your work, it's really appreciated!
Hey Mike, I’m real green at this. I appreciate your videos you have been a great resource of knowledge. I just wanted to let you know. I appreciate you and what you’re doing here. Thank you for being you and thank you for being here.
Good tips for beginners and #1 tip watch those levels as a long time producer I hated getting distorted or clipped audio, you can't fix it! And down the road invest in a good mic processor. The Symetrix 528E is the best.
Ty so much, I’m trying to help the pastor @ a church, I myself have little knowledge with little resources ty so much for giving hope and understanding.
I started off with a Radio Shack tape recorder that I would record "audiobooks" on as a kid. Now I have a cheap USB microphone that I use for the same purpose, reading books aloud just for laughs. The setup in this video would be a dream come true for my strange hobby, but I'm not sure I could conjure $500-$600 just for the pleasure of hearing myself read the Berenstain Bears in studio-quality audio.
I realize this is a 7 year old video but I wanted you to know how much I think about this video. It's such an obvious thing too do and yet I had never thought of doing it. I record quite a few guide tracks for my production work and using this technique nobody knows I that I'm not in a real booth. Also, I have had to use the onboard MacBook Pro mic on occasion and it still comes out great!
Thank you! Great stuff. Never thought to use something like a zoom for the storage. I've been using a laptop and do get a slight fan noise in the background that I have to deal with in processing.
Animal Facts quick fix for that: run a computer monitor from your recording space to the laptop and place the laptop out of mic range. Let's you monitor without the noise
Thank you so much for these videos! You are the most helpful channel I have found on this subject, and you have a beautiful voice. I love your videos!💐🎤
I just set my “booth” up with everything you mentioned, almost down to the T with the Amazon links provided. Thank you for this video, it saved me so much time and energy, and it was informational!
Mike, I just received my CAD e100s from the recent MASSDROP that you so kindly alerted us about! Works great, looks great, is great. I officially have my first "Voice Booth" complete with the Zoom H5 - and yes I followed your Amazon links. Thanks again. Your heart is as big... as... a great big balloon full of love!
Thankyou, finally the info I was looking for. I just retired and am throwing my hat into the voiceover world. I don't get around very well so looking forward to recording at home. Ok now we have recorded, how does that recording get to the customer? Thanks
In watching this video, questions I have: 1. When positioning the pop filter, is there a "sweet" distance away from the mic? 2. What is next step after this video? I've watch a few other people on TH-cam reviewing mics, etc., that have more subscribers than you but for the life of me don't understand why they do as your videos, mic reviews are the best. The tips you have are priceless. Keep up the great work/videos Mike 👍🏻👍🏻
Mike I enjoy your Booth Junkies channel on TH-cam, even though I've been doing voice overs professionally for years internationally although based in Australia I still pick up some great tips from your sessions. Great sense of humour too and straight forward talk. You must love CAD E100S.
Couldn't agree more with you about the mic! When I saw CAD on the box, I got so excited! I have a vintage e100 and it is my favorite mic out of anything in any price range, the e100s is pretty identical, only slight differences like an sm7 vs an sm7b would have, but both e100 models are superb. That is my "deserted island" vocal mic.
How or where do you accommodate your copy-text, narration with this particular set up? Also, do you recommend something like a Scarlet 2i2 interface over this? And lastly, if you don't have the budget for a CAD E100S, what's your choice between NT1 or AT40-40? Mikey, you're my ONE-STOP place for a GREAT info regarding V.O, broham!!! Thanks a LOT in advance for your details when replying, Mike!!!
At 13:20 . . . . That indeed does sound Pretty Good - - - so thank you for showing us the ending result after all is paid for and done. Great information !
I'm new to this. I see that that audio interface has a mic on it too. Just wondering why can't you use the audio interface as a mic and not purchase the mic. Is there a big quality difference?
2 things: 1. This channel is awesome, and you are a superb teacher. 2. I'm doing my best to hold back a powerful desire to make a Zach Galifianakis comparison joke... Good day to you.
I nearly screamed from joy when you played back the closet recording. Amazing.
Same here. I was so impressed how it sounded. That was AMAZING.
I'm sold
I read this comment after watching! I felt the same way!!
I just.... chills
It was amazing!
Mike, YOU are my "Forever Mike".
Ha. Ha. Your comment is very witty. Love it!
Severely underrated comment
I've set aside 6 weeks to record a comedy album late this year/early next year, and man, your channel is a life-saver. I find that whenever I have a question about specific microphones or voice booth setups, your channel is always at the top of my search results. Would love to pick your brain sometime.
Oh it’s you
When you find a comment from one of your favorite TH-camrs on the channel of one of your other favorites, boy I love this energy.
So you're talking about 'quick and sketchy' huh?
@@Earthquaker xD Facts.
Piano man
i really appreciate that you did not make this full of music and fast cut, zoom in then out editing, because this feels like you're my awesome neighbor who just spent some time on a saturday to help me figure out this new voice over career i'm considering. and that's awesome. i don't feel so much like a "viewer" or one of your "audience".

thank you for getting right to the point, it can be annoying when creators ramble in the beginning just to make the video longer.
I’m recreating this setup right now. Your videos finally gave me the courage and guidance to take the leap, at 45! Haha, wish me luck Booth Junkies!! Mike, thanks for all the wonderful content. These are gems for the VO community.
I honestly NEVER would have thought of that portable recorder! That thing is a game-changer!
I think you're my favorite audio guy on youtube. Sincere and direct without long stories thanks man!
As a beginner i would never have thought of using that set up to start some serious recording. Thank you so much for showing how to do it.
Incredible... Its almost comical how much different and richer it sounds...
You can also stand with your back towards the closet and get the same (or better) effect. The main pickup on the mic is the side facing you, so the deadness of the closet behind you will kill room noise big time in the mic.
Mike Delgaudio from No Sleep! I can't believe I met you here! I'm a fan. I'm barely dipping my toes into voiceover. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, this particular video is GOLD for me. Thank you! Brace Yourself!

The Zoom H5 is a great suggestion. I've had an H5 for 3-4 years, not for VO work but for music and production work. Their customer service is amazing!
This is from 2016. Almost 2022 in just over a month now. I wonder if any of these have been updated to a newer version and/or the price is lower?
This is brilliant! It's a great backup system for my narrations, maybe even the primary setup!
amazing work, friend.
I have been searching for good acoustic treatment vids and i finally found an entire channel dedicated to them and this guy also has a great personality
Hi Brother!

Soon as I saw the Zoom I was like "awww, yisss." I use my Zoom for my livestream and it is an amazing tool.
This channel is utterly brilliant. I so could have used this when I was starting out - really clear and good instruction. Also, a magnificent beard haha.
Thanks Chris! My beard and I are glad you are enjoying it.
My beard is equally thrilled good sir!
Hey BJ,
Great video!

Please provide the full info relating to the spec/ details for purchasing the Zoom.
Thanks much.
I've been doing this for decades, with a LOT more trouble for a LOT less sound quality. It's like... epiphany!
It's great how when you turn to the mic once it's in the closet you lose the room, and then you turn back several times and the room picks up again. There's a decent difference! Great channel.
I need a link to the brackets of the right size!
Thank you so much! The voice actor I've been doing small projects and charity projects for years now but I decided to take it more seriously. The person I was learning from told me I can't be a serious voice actor if I'm not spending at least $1,000 on my mic alone but that felt outrageous. As someone who is also getting back into music this is purely amazing. Such a breath of fresh air!
I loved this video for its simplicity and practicality. I've asked for the same equipment for Christmas too! We'll see if Santa comes through for me.
Super clever with the portable audio unit with a proper mic hooked to it.
Brilliant low budget sound booth, exceeding my expectations, certainly
It's wild how good your lav mic suddenly sounds when you start turning toward the closet at 11:30!
Mike, thank you for the video. You presented the clearest, most efficient, simplistic way to start recording. That I have found on TH-cam. I'm appreciate the friend who directed me to your page. Your shared experience is helping me see another avenue for my beginning. Great job!
It's currently 2021 and this method of connecting a recorder to a mic stand and using that in the closet is still a great idea. Awesome video, thanks!
"It folds up so you can stash it in a closet."
But Mike, my closet IS my recording booth ;D
Lol.
I'm not a voice over specialist, but I find your channel fascinatingly brilliant.
Just came across some of your videos as a resource for our student/apprentices. Love the no frills, practical attitude.
really great real world how to.. well done
Thank you Mike for being so generous and sharing knowledge for us who are starting off. God bless you.
You should always pull up the micstands centercolum so it only rests on the 3 legs
Finally recorded enough paid gigs to purchase this setup. Looking forward to getting started with it this week
Great video. A lot of the other videos on TH-cam are focused on a sit down setup, as the computer is needed to be right in front (e.g. recording audio for books). Yours is, of course, different ... in that you are standing up. The question I have for you is that ... with your closet setup ... where do you put your PC or laptop?

Really informative and very well presented! Gladly subbed!
I have a blue yeti for a mic. I was going to use it for ASMR but I will use it for voice over. Thank you for the guide, I will most definitely try this set up.
I have a blue yeti too mic also and am stuck now as this video suggest an XLR mic instead (as do other videos), which would require a different set up. Do you have yours already set up? Are you using it with a mic stand?
I got the H5 delivered and paid a 100% tariff. But I could not get it to turn on, even after using M-audio and Rolls gear to record for years. Turns out the power switch looks like a button (like the menu button) but slides gently downward to turn the unit on. The tech support people were quickly responsive and are probably laughing at the guy baffled by the ON switch.
A Closet! Dude, you're amazing. I was thinking it. But you confirmed it for me. I'll be saving your channel.
i would love to see a V2 of this video,with a phone and something like the irig or irig HD to connect a microphone to it. :)
This closet-booth recording saved my life! What a great idea and it made such a difference (also using a better mic and audio interface). Thanx!
I've been coming back to your channel for a while now. I've been told for years by many people that they love my voice and ask me why I haven't gotten into any kind of voice work. My voice is deep and bassy (is that the word for it? Lol) and carries. I recently started live streaming and doing a podcast. So far your videos have been tremendous help and I look to get into other lines of work soon.
An update to this video would be amazing :) love your work thank you
Just brilliant. If this is not a beginner setup, dont know what else is. Also the near-absence of post production stuff, makes it so relatable. I do have one request: Could you please suggest some alternate "cheaper" option for microphones?
I had 2 issues with a similar setup: a) any movement of the mic stand gets recorded, b) you can hear what comes from the headphones
Solutions to a) use an elastic microphone mount b) use in ears under closed headphones
I also don't want to see a 350$ mic fall with the light stands... I always prefer heavy stands.
What about having to do guided recording sessions? Would I have to just deny jobs that require guidance?
It's a gift to be able to teach beginners and not sound know-it-all. I love your videos. I would watch you read the phone book.
Great video, I haven't seen anyone else explain the setup so clearly and simply. Bravo!
13:03 WOW the quality of the sound.
A bit of a clarification on the super-cardioid polar pattern. Narrower to front and less sensitive to the sides is correct, but it actually does have an area of slightly INCREASED sensitivity directly behind. Thanks for the videos!
The idea to make a portable setup like that is a genius idea! I never thought about using a Zoom to make a tidy little, battery operated and self contained recording setup.
Super cool. I'm also surprised how clean the audio is--I figured the pre-amps on a tiny battery operated unit like that would be noisy and weak.
Worth mentioning I'm neck deep in my project and I am constantly getting props on the narrative work and voiceover stuff I'm doing and I owe it exclusively to you Mr. Mic!
Hello Mike,
I just wanted to thank you for putting this video together, and sharing your knowledge with us. After watching this video, I found a used e100s locally for a great price, and built a setup very similar to what you have (only I use a DR60D instead of the H5), and it sounds INCREDIBLE!
Blows my SM7b out of the water in terms of vocal quality, and self-noise. This is now going to be my main podcast narration setup.
Thanks so much again for all your work, it's really appreciated!
Hey Mike, I’m real green at this. I appreciate your videos you have been a great resource of knowledge. I just wanted to let you know. I appreciate you and what you’re doing here. Thank you for being you and thank you for being here.
Thanks for this. I’ve been having difficulties how should my vocal booth look like and where particularly.
I'm glad I found this video. I don't have any walk-in closets and I was racking my brain on how I could get started doing this. Thanks.
What a great, dynamic voice. The only thing missing is hyper-compression and low end. Thanks for the tips!
Good tips for beginners and #1 tip watch those levels as a long time producer I hated getting distorted or clipped audio, you can't fix it! And down the road invest in a good mic processor. The Symetrix 528E is the best.
Ty so much, I’m trying to help the pastor @ a church, I myself have little knowledge with little resources ty so much for giving hope and understanding.
There's something about the first 5 seconds that I really enjoy
Can you do a 2021 version of this based on recent standards?
I feel like you're the alton brown of voice recording haha. Really, theres noone doing this stuff better on YT, I appreciate your videos very much.
I started off with a Radio Shack tape recorder that I would record "audiobooks" on as a kid. Now I have a cheap USB microphone that I use for the same purpose, reading books aloud just for laughs. The setup in this video would be a dream come true for my strange hobby, but I'm not sure I could conjure $500-$600 just for the pleasure of hearing myself read the Berenstain Bears in studio-quality audio.
Rode NT1-A and NT1 are also really god starting microphones.
I realize this is a 7 year old video but I wanted you to know how much I think about this video. It's such an obvious thing too do and yet I had never thought of doing it. I record quite a few guide tracks for my production work and using this technique nobody knows I that I'm not in a real booth. Also, I have had to use the onboard MacBook Pro mic on occasion and it still comes out great!
I use the CAD U37, usb plug and play, and it works pretty well for me. I wouldn't call it a forever mic, but it was only 50 bucks on Amazon.
Hey Mike! I love this video. Would you do an updated video for someone starting in 2021
With a tascam yo can power it with a usb cable and a phone charging cube, so you don’t use batteries (not sure if you can do it with the zoom)
i freaking love the zoom h5, best thing i purchased! thats a portable audio interface
Best beginning VO setup on TH-cam!
Thank you! Great stuff. Never thought to use something like a zoom for the storage. I've been using a laptop and do get a slight fan noise in the background that I have to deal with in processing.
Animal Facts quick fix for that: run a computer monitor from your recording space to the laptop and place the laptop out of mic range. Let's you monitor without the noise
Great Video! I noticed it was made 7 years ago and was wondering if you would make any updates or suggestions to this set up for a VO beginner?
Thank you so much for these videos! You are the most helpful channel I have found on this subject, and you have a beautiful voice. I love your videos!💐🎤
I just set my “booth” up with everything you mentioned, almost down to the T with the Amazon links provided. Thank you for this video, it saved me so much time and energy, and it was informational!
Love the closet idea. However since I'm going to be reading something how do I do that while in the closet?
Mike, I just received my CAD e100s from the recent MASSDROP that you so kindly alerted us about! Works great, looks great, is great. I officially have my first "Voice Booth" complete with the Zoom H5 - and yes I followed your Amazon links.

Thanks a LOT in advance for your details when replying, Mike!!!
Great question Luis! Where do you put the script, especially if it is on a company laptop and you aren't allowed to print it?
At 13:20 . . . . That indeed does sound Pretty Good - - - so thank you for showing us the ending result after all is paid for and done. Great information !
Did not expect that WOW.
Absolutely love your videos.
Your voice is silky smooth.
I just ordered a Zoom H5.
I'm new to this. I see that that audio interface has a mic on it too. Just wondering why can't you use the audio interface as a mic and not purchase the mic. Is there a big quality difference?
The quality difference is pretty insane, yes. I would use their mic only for an unplanned interview or to make a note for later.
2 things:
1. This channel is awesome, and you are a superb teacher.
2. I'm doing my best to hold back a powerful desire to make a Zach Galifianakis comparison joke...
Good day to you.
So glad I stumbled upon this. Getting things in place to start. Thank you.
Best video on a "starter" recording booth(closet). Game changer.
Love this setup for the portability. This could be so easily used/adapted for traveling.
Thank you for these videos. The spirit of them is so generous and they are incredibly helpful.
Didn't take this video/setup serious until I heard the recording. Great job man!
This is great. Thank you
