I'm in the process of doing a voice over at the post prod stage of a film I'm making. Can anyone recommend a good voice microphone which produces professional quality results.
I'm based in the uk by the way.
Many thanks
Can you hear me?
You did not mention your budget. Sky is the limit !
You can get a Rode NT2 for around 200 pounds from Turnkey (in UK).
But since I am not an UK resident, it may be possible that you can find
the same mic from a cheaper place.
Furthermore, you do not mention what kind of sound card you do have in your computer. It is most likely that you will also need a MIC-Preamp.
Cheers,
Bernard

There are many excellent mikes available, with various characteristics. The names Sennheiser, AKG, Beyer etc. spring to mind. I suggest you look at their web sites and choose the model/price combination that suits you best. However, if you use it only for voice work, you don't need to spend a fortune. The mikes you see on TV for news reportages are rarely top-of-the-range. However, unless you have a decent sound-proof studio, I suggest you should concentrate on noise-cancelling models, which means that the lips-mike distance should normally be small.

Forgot to mention
Hi,
I forgot to mention that we do have a Beachtek pre-amp and a Spirit Folio RacPac mixer to allow the XLR based mics to plug into cameras and other kit.
The pre-amp allows us to do voice only interviews (for voice overs) with a minidisc player and the Sony lapel mic - anywhere and with minimal kit. Example: On a church roof with a land artist.
The racpac mixer allows a bit more detailed, noise free voice over work recording at home not to mention pre-recording EQ. I hadn't thought of one of those Rhode mics, that sounds really good. If you need to use the mic in the field as well though I wouldn't be taking the Rhode anywhere!
