Recording voice audio isn’t a difficult task, a high quality microphone will do most of the work on its own. However, to get the best quality recording, there are some additional techniques that can be used.
Microphone Positioning
Make sure the microphone isn’t too close to the source of the audio. If it’s too close, it usually produces a distorted clipping sound. However, if it’s too far from the narrator you may pick up more ambient noise with the audio being less discernible.
6 to 12 inches is a good distance, this will record a crisp clear voice audio. Also make sure that the microphone isn’t right next to the computer, otherwise it may pick up the fan noise.
Listen To The Recording With Headphones
Headphones help isolate the audio and you’ll be able to hear any problems with the voice audio more clearly than with speakers. This is especially true when using a laptop as its speakers tend to be subpar with a tinny playback sound.
