A popular combo I hear is the Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface and AT2020 mic that is a pretty decent starter set that isn't insanely expensive. To answer some of your questions from my own experience, if you're looking to break into this seriously, everyone is going to tell you to invest in an audio interface and XLR mic (I started with the Blue Yeti USB mic). That said, despite my limited experience so far don't take my advice as gospel as I still feel like I'm starting out. I've recently picked it back up again and started playing around with it more as a hobby if anything at this point, but I certainly wouldn't mind making a side gig out of it eventually. I can sympathize with the hiatus as I was making my own inroads to trying my hand at voice acting, but then got sidetracked with my own life events. Hi! As a fellow Chicagoan, I welcome you back. This seems like an awesome community so once again thanks for your time. What are some resources that are good to use? What is some beginning equipment to invest in? Does anyone know of some good online resources for training, or any coaching and training options in Chicago? How do people usually get going? Are headshots as important as your demo? When should I invest in a demo? When do you know it's time to seek representation? What channels are available to audition independently? How important is social media to voice-over and voice acting? What are some easy beginning projects to practice on? Any advice I might want to know starting off? Thank you for any and all input. Having no background in this technique and this side of the industry, I am looking for some guidance and also have some questions. I'm looking to get back into acting and specifically am interested in voice acting. I took a hiatus starting at the end of 2018 to focus on getting married and life, and recently moved back to Chicago. I've been an actor for over 10 years, and worked professionally for sometime and am SAG eligible. Hey there, hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far. Voiceover Essentials: Find great VO gear!
