Hey y’all this is an ask for help post so if you have any experience here please lmk! This is my current VA setup (my computer is very loud so I keep it in my main room while the actual mic is in my closet) and it works great for auditions but not for live sessions. Anyone have any ideas?

It doesn't have to be incredibly elaborate, like acoustic foam all over the walls, but hanging some blankets from your ceiling will be plenty!!!
How do you mean, specifically? Like, in person live sessions or live sessions done remotely?
I'd grab some long cables and/or a monitor and take that stuff with you when you go live for the easiest, cheapest solution.
Adding some carpet or floor mat will help too.
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out.
but my PC is down on the floor so it's noise won't bother
my recordings
I also cover with some blankets around to reduce BG noises
All this cuz I don't have that type of closet lmao 😅
But a laptop or spare monitor in there would be good for your script access :D you could probably even use a tablet for it!
I have a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and interface in the booth. Works like a charm.
That is why I opt for hardwired stuff.
8' USB Cord ---> Powered USB Hub ----> 8' USB Cables ----> Interface, Keyboard, Mouse.
20' HDMI Cord to Monitor.
Rockwool is about 80$ and that will make 24 ish pillows.
Pillow cases can be bought for like 2-3$ in bulk on Amazon. But you can get them at thrift stores for even less.
Its a nice upgrade and your space is 80% of your sound quality.
A mobile device may be an easier solution for you though.
