I've really no good advice to give you on the technical aspect because I've really no equipment left. I used to use adobe audition - which was a lovely program - but I can't get it to re-download on my computer and unfortunately, i can't figure out how to attach a mike to the laptop and I refuse to use the built in mic for the aforementioned hiss and whirl reasons you brought up (i'm so spoiled!)

As for voices, I don't think there need to be an immense difference in characters unless you use them a lot. My Jeeves and Bertie are worlds apart but actually didn't start that way. my bertie voice seemed to become more and more high pitched over time and now he almost as sort of a whiney quality. but it works for his pampered sensibilities. As long as you have your main characters - or at least the ones that interact the most - tagged down as just different enough, you'll only have to tweak supporting characters slightly. I find that aside from pitch, regional accents and the amount of which you speak from your nose or throat is a real help.

Also, delivery is a good way to differ from character to character. My Jeeves speaks very slowly and pauses far more often then my Bertie. How loudly a character breathes, the amount of pauses they give, volume at which they normally speak are all tied into characterization of a part. do a little actor's Q&A with the character if you have to.

Long comment is long, I'll shut up now!
