You are looking for a cardioid mic if you want podcast/radio show host sound. But that’s actually probably overkill. If you are using a laptop built in mic obviously buy something, but the biggest improvements you will see will come from improving the environment you are recording in. You’d be amazed how much quality is being finished by your voice echoing off of hard surfaces. Also ambient noose(ex. vents, wind, traffic) will also finish the quality of your voice. A higher end mic would just exacerbate these problems if you don’t move to an environment where you have controlled for these.
Thanks! So would you say building a self made square shaped sound absorb mat (those foam like material) around the mic will be an noticeable improvement?
Jabra Speak 500. $150 on Amazon and I recommend. Would be more than enough for Skype. There are cheaper models also.
