Feedback on new setup.

[elder cave]

Just finished setting up my booth and wanted feedback on how it sounds and if there is anything I could change up to get the best quality I can.

Equipment i'm using is a Rode NT1 5th Gen, Scarlett 2i2 4th gen refurbished by Focusrite themselves, Reaper as a DAW, and booth is a pvc pipe frame with 1 moving blanket per side and 2 on top that I got from a supply store near me.

The lines I recorded are Dominics from Phebe Characters for Auditioning.

Any feedback is very welcome whether it's my voice, the setup itself, the acting, etc.

Alright I took a bit to bring this into RX for some high-detail analysis. You've got a decent starting point on your acoustics, as I'm not noticing any particular resonant frequencies from your room, so great job there!

There are definitely some things that could be improved though:

• The first thing that stands out to me is that there's some notable rumble when you exhale strongly - are you right up on the microphone? You may already be aware, but it's often best to position your mic at something like a 45-degree angle off to one side of your face, so that puffs of air don't reach the mic (the pop filter can't stop everything!) (and also of course, the mic should still be pointed at your mouth, just not with your mouth pointed right at the mic hahaha)
• I'm definitely hearing some notable rumble/hum from something like an AC and/or computer fans. This is hurting your noise floor - professional standard is for your NF to be at -60 dB or below when your voice is peaking around -12, but right now yours is hovering between -50 and -45. So there's definitely some improvements you can make there: [After writing this, I just noticed in the corner of your pic that you already got your computer out of the booth. I think the hum is probably just AC and/or fridge so pay more attention to the second part] use software to turn down/off your computer fans while you're recording or even better, move it out of your recording space and use longer cables to connect everything. Turn off your AC while recording, or record at night when it's cooler if that's an option.
• While there's no major problem frequencies, there were some minor things I noticed: there's a slight boxy sound that I think might be caused by the hard surfaces of your desk and monitors. You might be able to reduce that by consolidating your DAW and script to one monitor, then cover the other two and the desk with a heavy blanket when you're recording.
• Another minor frequency issue is the "harsh metallic high-end" that the NT1 5th gen is kind of infamous for. It's a little painful right at the beginning, but less noticeable in the rest of the file. This isn't really something that can be easily fixed if you're submitting raw audio, since it's part of the mic. I'd suggest experimenting with more mics, but that's way down the line; you don't need more than one mic until you have an actual problem that would be solved by more microphones.
