That really depends on a lot of things. Mainly, do you want to spend money, and how much?



There are a few very basic recording programs out there that have some editing tools, the most popular being Audacity. However, your better programs will cost you money and have a bit harder of a learning curve.



Then there is the microphone issue depending on the quality you want to get. With cheap mics, untreated rooms, and no editing, you will always have issues with things like background noise and the ever popular mic hiss. But quality mics and room treatment also cost money, and if all you're doing is game voice overs for mods, really not worth the cost.



Basically, what most people do is use the best quality headset they can feel good about spending money on and using programs such as Audacity with plugins to help reduce hiss.



Or you could just hit up the voice actors guild and get some people to do the voices for you.

as stated by the earlier poster audacity.sourceforge.net/ is free and gives good results.

Another good package is goldwave www.goldwave.com/ technically shareware but it works fine unregistered your just limited in the amount of multiple steps you can take before it tells you to buy it or save your progress and then reload and then carry on editing your sounds.

Its particularly great at getting rid of any background hiss or hum and for altering the pitch of your voice.

The only voice changer program I found that semi worked was AV Voice changer..but the demo version is worthless and it's too expensive....



Audacity is good for free basic editing.. I used someone from the Voice Actor guild for my mod..I recommend that.

Audacity is nice but doesn't give you the required 24,000Hz that the toolset requires to convert it properly. Forcing it only puts it back to 22,100Hz--so I use wavosaur to do the converting. Can find it here: http://www.wavosaur.com/

Thanks for the wavosaur tip... I was trying to use soundbooth for recording/editing but had trouble saving it to the magic 24 khz. Wavosaur successfully downsampled it for me.



Hehe, now I can try voiceacting for the first time in my life. This is gonna sound soooo fake

This is why we have a voice actors guild, mate.

Yep, have a look in on the voice actor's guild, or look up the voice acting samples database to find people who might be interested in doing some voice acting for you. It's always good to have variety in the voices.

I bought some real nice TTS voices and they work great for VO's. Of course they cost some, but if you are in for some serious work it's worth it. Some tweaking has to be done now and then, but for the mainparts it works great. Then I just make a manuscript, run it in the TTS Software, and then use a wav editor to get the correct sample format and cut the pieces into the right order.
