Ive been happy with the Rode Podcaster for quite a few years now. Very nice and "dry" sound.
Works great for a booth since its the kind of mic you get close and personal to. And its pickup pattern is very shallow, meaning very little need for soundproofing compared to something like a yeti. It picks up very little reverb.
If I was looking at Blue I would be leaning more towards the Spark for VO. Yethi to me is more of a round table and in camera type mic.

If you want something more professional a popular Radio Broadcast mic is the Shure SM7B. We have it in all our studios at work and I think they are nice.
Then you need to feed it phantom of course and have a proper audio interface.

The podcasters and such are quicker to get going with since its USB.

The other day I saw Gibson had ented the market for easy pro-ish mics kinda like that...  http://www.neatmic.com . Looks hip, thought it might be worth mentioning/looking into.

Currently I'm expecting the Mikme from Indiegogo (Vienna be representin' yo!). https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/mikme-wireless-recording-microphone-audio#/

Although I agree, these are more like podcast mics, not sure if that sorta thing blends well with ADR or what it is you were planning on using it for. I guess there's nothing quite like a soundproofed booth with suspended condenser mic and pop filter close to the mouth... but yeah, that's not always feasable.

I use the Blue Yeti and it works well.  The sound is acceptable with a little post processing in Reaper. 

Also for consideration, if you have a preamp that can interface with your MacBook is the, Monoprice 600800 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone:

It get's a great review here:

Or Monoprice sells a USB version the 600801.

You just need to plug your headphones into the MacBook with the 600801 rather and into the Yeti body as with the Yeti. There's is a video on the Monoprice 600800 that lets you hear how it sound and there is also lots of Yeti vs XXX on YouTube.
