I have created a 2nd VO Booth in the house ..Because

For submitting voice tracks in very discrete stereo, or for accompaniment by resident border collies, perhaps?

This is the West Coast MKH 416 booth, and the other is the East Coast U87 booth?

Brilliant! Smile

It's a strategy to ensure I am bi-coastally optimised. I can waste time on specific audition sounds so that the folks in LA are able to ignore my trailer/promo sound and in NYC they can find new clarity in my unfathomable British accent.

Hoorah and hoozah! From now I won't be getting twice as much work as what I used to was.

"The Iranian Double Pause? Sure, on which mic?"

Anoraks on!

So. I had a room used by the former Mrs Banks to store her crafting stuff. I got builders to do some repairs, painted, stuck stuff to walls and then bought a cheap laptop, installed SoundForge and the added a Roland USB audio thingy.

Recorded this in the "Stunt Booth". https://soundcloud.com/philip-banks/new-booth-test

The mic is a 416 so sounds different to the U87 but other than "difference" I can't hear anything wrong with the set up.

that's a seriously angled 416….

I can't for the life of me eliminate "P's" on the 416 without a windscreen . kudos to you...

Mirror the line, (slope, angle) of your nose and ensure it is about an inch above the upper lip and NEVER say PUH!

thank you for the tip, Sir.. needs some tweaking, mostly with distance and adjusting mic gain, but it's nice to be free of the dreaded pop filter in a tight space..

even passed the "OCCU-P-ATIONAL" test...

That's the angle of my 416. I point it at the bridge of my nose.

Lookin' good there, Mister Banks.

Sadly I am not photogenic and so never manage to look anything less than one who has a Full-Time Psychiatric Support Worker just out of shot holding a Taser, just in case.
