What microphone is good for catching made up voices that aren't the original voice of a person? Like what microphone is good for recording cartoon voices. Like how Damon Albarn does for his singing character 2-D? One that can capture the whole sound of a voice and not a particular sound of the voice, because every one who's a vocalist knows certain microphones capture a certain sound from their voice.

One of the 'favored' microphones that many 'radio voices' seemed to prefer
was the ElectroVoice RE-20.

I gave my nephew a toy microphone that changes his voice into any number of cartoony characters.

Maybe you'll want to try looking in the kids toy aisle at wal*mart?

i was able to fix this problem by going to the skype ( tools->options->audio settings ) menu

and then unmarked the "automatically adjust microphone settings" mark box.

Afterwards i re-adjusted the microphone sensitivity

by: ( going to sound in the control panel -> recording -> i then double clicked the internal mic -> levels )

and here you can adjust the boost and sensitivity

Evelyn, what are you talking about? This has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Skpye! :shock: Adjusting the controls on Skype is not related in any way to the original question, or to the thread.

Also, please check the forum rules for posting.
