Hello,
I'm totally agree that acoustic of the room is most important for VO,and if you know how,and have good voice talent,the choice of gear is more or less the question of taste(and budget of course).
In my studio I'm recorded thousands voiceovers in last 12 years,and my choice of gear was changing in direct relationship with improvements of my budget true the years
in business.
Am i going to tell you that my early recorded voiceovers sounds much worse in comparation with newest one recorded with much better mics and preamps?
Definitely,NO!
In my experience,clients definitely don't hear that difference,BUT I DO,and that's important for me.
I have several recording chains for different occasions but when voiceover is the the task,my favorite is the SE Electronics Gemini with Neve 8801 .I like that presence and boost,and that makes mixing izzy for me...
Also,I have "backup" chain with AKG C12vr - Neve 8801 if i record the thinner female voiceover,or if this mic suits better for some voice.
Third chain is AKG C414 with Universal Audio LA-610(Signature Ed)
Of course,every variation is possible,but after some time in business, Gemini and 8801 become my dearest combination for VO.
