Of the models in this group, I prefer the SSL as it provides a nice control layout and rear panel routing, though I’d be happy with a Focusrite or Steinberg.

Any of these Audio Interface models could work well at the center of your voiceover recording studio. Oh – and a couple of mic inputs at the right.
