Any condensor microphone recommendations better suited towards VO work for a thinner male voice in the tenor range?

In my opinion and from past experience... the Rode NTK could do a nice job for you. It tends to warm the voice up a bit and is an all around good mic.

Best Wishes,

Depends on your budget. Studio Projects B1 for $80 is fine.

Thanks Brian and Philip for your comments.

I forgot to mention that my budget is around $600 USD.

My fave all-purpose mic is the Electrovoice RE20.

It was built to be a bass drum mic, so it has a lot of "bottom". It's the one that radio DJs use and I love mine.
It's not as full-bodied as a tube mic, but it's a real super dynamic mic.
Can take a lot of abuse, too.

I use both the RE20 and the Studio Projects B1. Love 'em both.

I'd love to comment more but I'm planning my office Christmas Party. I remember last year I took everyone out to Applebees for dinner. Wait...I work alone at home.

So, how's the RE 20 handling that comment? Did it roll right off its back? Still the happy-go-lucky mic it's always been?

The RE20 has a real good roll-off.
