Sniffy Conversation Series

I honestly had no idea, so I googled it.  Came up with this Samson Go Mic.

Well below your budget, popular on a certain major online retailer.  Compact size would be good for a “man on the move.”

Hey there. Any recording geeks: I’ll be looking for a mic, say under $50 to record my voice in the conversations.
Also planning to hold the actual conversation via google voice. If there’s a better alternative that everyone I’m speaking with would have access to, I’m definitely interested in suggestions.
Thanks everybody.

If $50 is your budget, you’re probably best off to just get a headset/mic combo like gamers use. It won’t have the quality of a condenser microphone, but it will make up for it a bit by allowing you to position the microphone in an optimal location near your mouth.

You’d have to double your budget in order to get something like this:

(you’d be well advised to buy a cheap stand for it, too). You have to be more careful about the direction and proximity of your voice, but the results will be worth it.

That said… if you’re not in control of the interviewEE’s equipment, it probably doesn’t matter that much anyhow. Use a gaming/Skyping headset thing.

Thanks.

Another geek question.
I use google voice for my phone.

Anyone recommend a way of holding the conversation with the best quality?

I agree. He’s also a very interesting person outside of yoyoing. I’m pretty excited.
