HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE

Comments
No, i have never taken a VO class. I just do what comes naturally. I have found that, in an attempt to improve their read, some VO folks try too hard, and it begins to sound mechanical. Perfectly pronounced, with all the accents in the right places - but not believable. I usually tell folks to just relax and let the honesty come through.
Hope that's of some help.

No, I don't think that you are being nosey at all. I'm fortunate enough at this time and for the past several years to be the voice of Twix Candy Bars and Zatarain's Cajun Foods to name a few. Thanks for asking.
I loooooooooove the P-Solo. It's so easy to use and makes a good mic sound GREAT. For a single voice mic input it does the job you need and want it to do wonderfully. I recommend it to everyone.
But on saying that, i'd suggest you go down and test it out at the shop first - and take your Sennheiser with you. Nothing beats trial and error.

I'm gonna be there in September for my nephew's wedding. Can't wait. We used to go to Old Orchard every summer back in my "East Coast" days.
