Danielle Pretsfelder Demchick: I think it’s just about having a little bit of training under your belt, knowing the terminology, understanding how to work with a mic and also–you do really need to have some sort of at-home setup if you want to do voice over. You don’t need a ready-to-go full booth and broadcast quality. But you need to have something where you’re able to record from home and audition. Or maybe if it’s a sort of a DIY booking, you want to be able to build your credits, so you want to be able to do that from home. Because especially since the pandemic, there’s a real influx of work that requires a home studio. Even if it’s a basic home studio.
