1950s and 1960s Voice-overs
Forums
I'd love to capture that 1950s/60s Voice-over sound you hear on all the old short films. You know...the old documentaries, or instructional videos. Plenty on archive.org to sift through. They always begin with the heavy orchestra, then comes Mr. Voiceover.
It's a very distinct sound, other than just the vocal styling itself. Does anyone happen to know how to recreate such a thing?

Voice-over mic recommendations
Forums
I'm thinking of getting an Audio-Technica AT4040 for voice-over recording (primarily male voices).
Is there anything of comparable quality at a lower price? I need to save wherever I can but make as few compromises as possible when it comes to quality.

Interface for Voice-overs
Forums
Guys, I'd like to upgrade my interface. I currently have a M-Audio MobilePre USB and it's ok, but I'd really like to bump up the quality.
I'd love to say I had the money for something extravagant, but alas, I do not.

Voice-over channelstrip
Forums
I've been hired to do an ongoing project. It's location recording of storyrtelling for a series of videos. I record them telling their tragic life stories, then a slideshow-like video is added later. I've done a couple already using my mbox and an NT2A, and while it has worked fine, Id really like an inline compressor, and a better pre wouldn't hurt.

voice-over career help please
Forums
After being told I should persue this for years I am finally going after it. I want to explore voice-over work. I have done some reseach on the net and find all kinds of workshops but don't really know what I am looking at. Does anyone have any experience here and could you offer some advice about how to not get totally ripped off and learn a little about this subject in the process.
