I’ve gone and done it. I’ve purchased a new microphone, so I can do some voice over work for my paid employment (so most of which won’t see the light of the internet).
It is a Rode NT-USB mini.
It sounds so much better than the laptop microphone (or the cheap headset microphone for that matter). And sorry to Capt Nick for NickRolling you!
And yes, I usually put some fluffy towels on the monitors and desk to reduce reflections.
