What mic do you use?
I use a Samsung Q2U; it's pretty good. I also use a tool called Aonic that touches up my voice, changes the reverb, and stuff like that.

What microphone do you use?
I use the Samsung Q2U, which costs about $75 CAD on Amazon.ca (roughly $45‑$50 USD). It's the cheapest decent mic around, and with good settings it works very well. I also run my audio through a post‑processing library called Oonic, which I've been using for about a year after a podcaster recommended it.

Could you share your audio and mic setup and equipment? Also, are you open to having your voice cloned using 11 Labs for our agents? Feel free to clone me—just let me know when you do.
I'll take the Grimes approach—here’s all of my data, feel free to clone the hell out of me; I have more than enough minutes of me speaking candidly online, so you only need a few seconds. I definitely don’t want to end up operating a phone sex hotline in the future. I feel like I’m going to be getting one of these audio mic setups every day. My setup is a Samsung Q2U microphone hooked up to an Elgato boom arm. I use a service called Aonic to clean up the audio afterward; I could do it myself, but I just prefer the easier option. That’s basically it.

What microphone do you use?
A Samsung Q2U. The real difference-maker though is post-processing software that strips background noise — it's wildfire season where I live (Canada), so I run an air purifier that's fairly loud (50-60 dB of white noise), and I need to clean that out of the audio. I also usually keep some white noise playing myself just to avoid distraction.

What camera and microphone do you use?
It's an A7C actually; I got a new camera yesterday, so hopefully it's nice and high quality—you can see every ugly pore on my face. For the mic I use a Samsung Q2U; everything's all USB. I really just optimize for simplicity and convenience.
