Here I'm showing off the HyperX DuoCast microphone and using it for the voice over, as well as demonstrating how to make it sound good in various ways. I've also crafted a separate more in-depth video on that if you're interested (How to make the HyperX Duocast sound better)

This is a tiny but capable microphone that sounds good and has some surprising hidden features to it that include AI noise cancellation and more.
It also has its own built in pop filter and shock mount. It has two cardioid pick up patterns but is able to deliver impressive sound, especially for things like voice overs.

Right yesterday I started looking around for a microphone and here in UK there is a great discount for the Quadcast S.
I was about to buy that but then I watched your latest videos and I decided of buying the DuoCast (still with a good discount!).
Thank you very much man!
