This is probably going to make me sound like an idiot, or a spoiled brat, but I would like some help. Lately, I've been watching Stranger Things on Netflix (I know, I'm *very* late to the party.)

Hey there. I'm a hobby voice actor, but I'm interested in trying my hand at small paid roles. As far as I can tell, USB mikes are pretty much a no go, and my Snowball is definitely not up to snuff. So, if I were to start budgeting for an XLR mike, interface and whatever else I'll need for a functional setup. I'm very m…
