New Microphone! What does this mean?!

Just yesterday, I purchased myself an MXL USB.006 microphone. After testing it out, it sounds MARVELOUS. It sounds near professional, which is much more then what a flash series or cartoon needs.

I tested it out quite a lot, and I will admit that I DO need a pop filter first. After that, I plan on animating again, and perhaps even voice acting for some flashes! I'm quite happy over this purchase, and I hope to see that it was just as smart of a purchase as this Wacom tablet!

A lot of people have been telling me to get in to voice acting, and my excuse was that my microphone sucked. I no longer have that excuse. Maybe I'll come up with another? haha. If you do ask, I want to see what you have done in your flash and what it's about. I don't want to voice act shitty sprite or stick flashes >8(

***EDIT***

Decided to do a Voice Test. Note how I don't say "Demo". I did it with no script or added music or whatever the professionals do. Just wanted to hear how it sounded. Sounded alright. Maybe it'll sound better when I PLAN FOR IT.

how much and does it work for acid pro Va in flash?

You should make a quick and easy flash with a lil of your voice acting skills in it. So those that may want your services can see what you have to offer in VA terms. Or you could always just do a Demo... but that's less fun.

I'll get back to you on voice acting. I've always wanted to try to animate mickey donald, etc. so maybe we can figure out some small dialogue that ic an animate to. <:

Sweet. Nice Mic.

I can't believe I sat through that...

I was about to stop listening when you started doing the British accent but then you switched to it in a deeper voice and it wasn't so bad. I lost it when you did the Disney characters, Donald Duck swearing like a sailor made me laugh far more than it should have.

hurray! I didn't make you stop listening :D

tigerkitty 2009-07-26 04:47:18

you *really* need to work on that English accent :P

SardonicSamurai 2009-07-26 04:47:18

I knew full well that I was going to suck at it. I attempted it anyway :(

JazLyte 2009-07-26 06:45:51

Damn the clarity sounds great. I'm looking for a new mic myself, how much was it?

SardonicSamurai 2009-07-26 06:45:51

It was around $140 at a Guitar Center. You can probably find it cheaper online, but I hate buying things online :C

So, are you truely sardonic, or is that a misnomer?
