Submitted Audition
I submitted and audition. The feedback I got was that I was using a USB computer mic and that the sound came back like I was in a confined space.
I use a Blue Yeti Mic w/ my PC . I do have a mic that goes through a phantom power supply but I have not been using. What would be a decent affordable mic system to get with a sound mixer.
The feedback on the confined room space is because I built me a sound tent with shipping blankets in my apartment bedroom. I am not sure I will be able to change this until my living situation changes.
Please give advice, all will be appreciated.

Hello, Robert! Thank you very much for participating in this Community! :-)
My suggestions, in this case, will be: 1) to improve the room acoustics by purchasing & properly installing a set of professional-grade acoustic foams (such as the ones by Auralex), and 2) switch to a better-sounding microphone and a preamp.
There are lots of tips and videos to show you how to install acoustic foams ... so please look around :-)
Now, if I were to deal with mediocre room acoustics, my weapons of choice would be:
Why SM-7B? A more sensitive condenser microphone tends to pick up everything around you, including unwanted room acoustic flaw :-( ... which can bring you lots of grief. Use CL-1 to feed your preamp with clean, boosted signal, so you won't have to crank up the preamp's gain that can saturate the voiceover with white noise. A genuine pro-quality mic cable will give less chance of picking up unwanted noise.
I hope the info above helps... Please let us know. We wish you good luck!
Best regards,
Oki
