Getting new Microphone today, RODE NTI XLR Microphone. Hopefully this will help my Voice Over career better. I already have a Well Treated Environment, I should have gone with a Condenser Microphone from the Start
That will sound great! I'm sure you'll find some plugins that will work just perfect for you. I let my hardware go a few years ago and I'm just all in the box now as far as vocal recording goes. I'm not even sure if I miss the real pres or not. I've got the Apollo with the 1084 plugin to a LA2A with a U87 and it sounds just as good as when I had 1272's and a ELOP in front of it....I think. lol
The mic quality you can buy now for a few hundred bucks is pretty amazing these days. Use to be you had to spend a few k to get something to sound that good. During covid I had to do a project for a girl and we were working long distance; me in my room and she in hers. I like to have a vocal if possible so I can hear the phrasing and to know where the holes are that I can then decorate. She recorded the vocal at home with an Apogee USB mic in garage band and it sounded really good. So good that I bought one for my wife’s computer in her office to zoom with. Stuff is getting out of hand.

Good choice! It's a top recommendation for beginning/intermediate at home VO work. Let us know what you think of it after you've used it a bit!
