There are a few compressors I like to use with my VO, but none are used when tracking.

More often than not, your clients don't want that either when you're recording from home.

Are you talking about using this for auditions, broadcasting/announcing, or actual bookings? Broadcasting/accouncing is one thing, but anything else should be done during mixing... most bookings I get from clients who had a problem with their original talent are usually because they didn't understand this fact.
