    In Hollywood movies, the voices of the characters hear very clearly, realistic and no acoustic noise, what microphone do they use or what machine do they use to record ?

    Do you have any idea for the simple recording but still in high quality , I mean, I use microphone and computer, do I have to get the sound card for my computer for better quality ? I want to make movie but voice is very important.
    Hope to see your advices.

    Do a search for the Zoom H4 and Zoom H2 recorders. These devices record with very high fidelity directly to an SD card. There are other similar devices from other companies, but the Zoom models are very inexpensive. The H4 model is a little larger, but it has the capability to do multi-channel recording and can even be set up to do full surround recording. The built-in audio recording on consumer camcorders is normally very poor or downright awful. Depending on what type of material you will be recording these may be all you need.

    Another option is to use a professional quality vocalist's microphone. You'll need an adapter to plug it into your computer, but the good ones are awesome at cutting down ambient noise and you can pick them up at a reasonable price on eBay

    You did not say exactly what type of recording you are doing but hear is a suggestion.
    If you go to Logitech.com they make several versions of headset mics that sound great and are easy to use.

    If you are in fact doing audio voice-overs try looking into USB Audio Condenser Mics. Been through a fair amount of headsets (Logitech) and I've gotta say they're not worth it.
