Hello Fons,
Thanks for your reply.
The purpose of the recording is to capture my voice to deliver training
materials through MP3 files via Internet downloads.
The recordings will occur in a room treated for sound absorption of echoes.
I will use a Blue Designs Yeti for the recording.
I have several years of professional training as a speaker.
I will record the signal dry and edit it in post-production.
I agree on the signal chain of equalization and limiting, with perhaps
compression.
Specifically, I am looking for recommendations on the names of preferred
plugins for the proposed signal chain.
Kindest Regards,

How do you think anyone could help if the only info you
provide is
'my spoken voice' ??
* What is the purpose of the recording (i.e. which quality aspects
matter, which don't, how is the result distributed, ...) ?
* In what circumstances is the recording made (studio, office, living
room, open air, ... ?
* Which microphones (and other equipment) do you have available ?
* Do you have any professional training as a speaker ?
Assuming you have some control over the circumstances and
some decent microphone, very probably you won't need any
plugins at all. I would in any case make the recording that
way, anything needed (maybe a bit of EQ and limiting) can be
applied later anyway.
If you want a professional result, don't try to be the speaker
and the sound engineer/producer at the same time. There are
reasons why these functions are normally separated.
Ciao,
