VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

[GunslingerWriting]

An agency has expressed interest in receiving voice samples from one of the people in our group (currently out on remote location) for an attractive Ai-licensing contract.

I want to send him a couple of mics for this specific licensing purpose and would like your opinion of the likely candidates to suit his voice, which is deep, trained, textured and nuanced (I'd like to keep each mic under $2k but would also appreciate any lower-cost options in case it comes to that).

Thanks!

It's difficult to understand the situation with these scant details. Presumably, this person is not a VO since he doesn't have his own gear, which will make the recordings quite a bit more challenging. But in any event:

Recording environment is vastly more important than any mic choice. If the room is bad, the recording is bad, whether you use an Apogee or a Tele 251. If he is "remote," what are the recording space options?

Any decent mic will probably be fine if the space is well treated and the person knows how to work a mic and otherwise record properly and edit/deliver high-quality files. Generalized mic recommendations are nearly useless without knowing a specific voice in a specific environment for a specific use case. "Deep" can mean almost anything to different people, from basso profundo to middle baritone range. "Nuanced" is not a vocal quality but a read quality, but I think I get what you mean.

I suggest you concentrate on recording environment first and worry about the mic last.
If I've misunderstood your situation, please provide more information and I'll take another pass.
