Not Blindly Using Preset Plugin Chains

It’s good to have a saved plugin chain for a person’s voice if you’re processing their voice regularly, and it’s usually comprised of EQ and compression, etc.

In my experience tweaking those presets every episode is almost always necessary, even if it’s the same person’s voice recorded through the same microphone, etc. Because voices change slightly day to day (level, timbre, dynamics, etc.), plus the other voices on the episode that you will be mixing person #1’s voice WITH will be different as well.

Use your ears (critical listening) on every voice on every episode, and tweak accordingly 😉
