Show 316 – Talking about voiceover with the Booth Junkie

This week we have a great talk with Mike Delgaudio, a pro voiceover/voice actor, and YouTube content creator aka @Booth Junkie. We geek out a bit about microphones and preamps but first address some newbie concerns about getting into VO work such as:
Why use a vocal booth?
What are the common problems with a vocal booth?
What are some terms and jargon to know as a VO pro?

We had so much fun getting to know Mike in this interview, I know you’ll enjoy listening to this one.
