How about the Iphone with voice over.
Make sure you get the 3gs versian or you would have to download the voice.
And It's not worth it.
Good luck,
Shane

Does anyone know of any accessible cellphone in the USA. I have talks
on my old phone but do not want to buy another licence. I hear that the
android phones may work and that metropcs has some kind of speech on it. I'd
really appreciate some advice since my cell just died.

Yes, it is strange how diverse American accents can be. Someone from
new orleans will definitely sound different that someone from Boston. used to
love to do impersonations when I was younger but have lost the nack for it. I
am really amazed by a few British actors who can pull off American accents
flawlessly like the guy who does the tv show house and i would never know. Even
listening for it now, he is just so good that can't tell. Will listen for your
show on radio 360. Oh, am sure there is an American audience who is just
perfect for your performances but just a matter of finding a manager who can
find it. Best of luck. Dave

Hi Dave,
My studio is also more of a creative outlet, I Have the odd bit of
work come my way.
When I say odd, I mean odd, just been recording an Impersonator of
many characters for a Theme park Robot.
It was this project that made me realise that the Shure 87A was not
designed for this kind of work.
Regarding my Shows, I'm based in the UK, I love American Rock 'N'
Roll from the 1950's.
I've yet to perform in the USA.
I've had enquiries from: Perfect Impressions Entertainment,
Decatur, Illinois: and Star Attractions in Las Vegas.
I was very flattered, as I didn't contact them, they, contacted me.
I'm flattered as I still feel my performance level needs to go up a
few gears before I'm ready for the American audiences.
Fred Puglia from Perfect Impression asked, "How much of an accent
do you have? would your American accent fool an American audience?
I replied, "My American accent doesn't even fool an English
Audience. Which is even worse than it sounds as most English audiences wouldn't
know the difference between someone from Memphis and someone from New York."

Steve, Yeah, thats what i get when flying through these emails
and didn't hear the 87 properly. I bet the old fasioned look for that one mic
does go over quite well for atmosphere and that kind of thing definitely makes
a difference. think i'd like to check out that show myself. Yes, you'll like
the sound of the C1, i'm quite sure. I do love the nt2A for having the three
paterns thouogh. handy when having a few people playing precussion, and can
have that figure eight patern going and makes for a cool sound. If i had to
choose one or the other though, think i would have to pick the c1 just because
it sounds so extremely good on acoustic guitar and vocals. To have both is
great and wanted a couple really decent mics and not a bunch of cash to blow.
At this point, i'm not making money off of the studio and more for a creative
outlet than a job so hard to justify paying thousands for one mic. Basically,
two good mics for under $500 is pretty good i think. Would love to check out
your music. Where are you located. Am near Orlando, Fl. /dave

Hi Dave,
You've sold me on the C1, as for phantom power, I'm used to
using phantom power as the Shure Beta 87A is a Condenser microphone.
I'm also using a Shure SH55 classic microphone, This has the
casing of a 1950's microphone but inside is a Shure Beta 58 head, the idea is
good but the sound is not anything special.
I use it on my Jerry Lee Lewis shows because it has that 1950's
retro look.

hi Steve, The 57 and 58 mic's are great for live use but you
won't believe difference with either the nt2A or the Studio project
microphones. i have the C1 and people just can't believe its sound for the
price. of course you can blow hundreds and hundreds of dollars for certain mics
but really believe the c1 is best out there for the price. Think around $240 or
so and that is a great price for high quality mic with bass rolloffs and
padding as well which really comes in handy. If you check the reviews out
there, think they will show that I'm not alone. The Shure mics can handle some
basic recording but when you want to get a foot away from mic, they don't hang
with the true recording mics. Can't beat 57 for being durable but just don't
have the definition and subtleties of a good recording mic. You won't be sorry.
most all decent recording mics do require fantom power however so something to
know in advance. Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the info about Rode microphones, and thanks for
mentioning Studio Project microphones.
Which of the Studio project microphones do you have?
I'm using a Shure Beta 87A for my live Shows, it suits my
voice well, I just think I need something a little more studio dedicated for
recording.

hi Steve, i really like my NT2A as is good for many uses,
and very good for vocals. Use mine on acoustic guitar, precussion, and even
used it on guitar amp. The NT1A works very well too but NT2A has choice of
different paterns which can be handy. To be honest, think you may want to check
out the Studio Project microphones as well. Used my NT2A exclusively til I
bought one of theirs. Have had many different people use it and all have been
amazed and had to go out and buy one of their own. You can't go wrong with
either one but since I got the Studio Project mic have pretty much just stuck
with it and the NT2A has been in its case for a while. Dave

Hi All,
I'm aware that quite a few of the people who post on
this forum use Rode microphones for studio projects.
I'd never heard of them until I read about them on this
forum, I've since taken a look at the reviews about Rode on the net, I'm very
impressed with what I read.
I just wondered, which one of the rode studio
microphones would you recommend as the best one for lead vocals and voice-over
recordings?
