Voice Over with the RODE VideMic/SoundTrack Pro.

[TheJetBlack]

Hey, everyone. I'm planning a sci-fi short film to really practice lighting and editing in Final Cut Pro.

In the screenplay I've written, there's some voice overs and I wanted professional feedback on whether or not it's wise to do V.O. work with my RODE VideoMic into Soundtrack Pro.

If it is okay, then how would you do it to make it sound great?

Thanks!

Generally, in an untreated space, I'd go with a good dynamic rather than a condenser, you'd get a lot less pickup of extraneous noise. BUT why not test out your proposed setup first? If it works to your satisfaction, then go with it.

i don't remember the name of the plug in which change the microphone characteristics of your existing mic , might work to get more meat to your existing mic sound .
the videomic is a short gun mic , try to get it as much as close to the mouth without distort and get puffs ( use silk net in front ) or better come from 60 degrees above the nose , you will probably get proximity effect which would boost the low end to get more distinguish sound , keep the room as dry as possible without reflection sound , if you don't have one , find a van and drive to remote location where no sound penetrating the van , later try to EQ to get the best you can.may work , may not
of course you can go to guitar center , pickup some chinece large diaphragma mic , make the job and then return it back ,saying it sounds **** while you are collecting the money back
