It takes only a little preparation to create high-quality voice recordings that will add that special touch to your video. Here are a few tips:
- Find a room with good acoustics. A small room with low ceilings is especially good for this. If your room reverberates a lot when you speak, simply place a light blanket over your head, laptop, and microphone while recording to muffle the reverb.
- Warm up your voice and make sure you drink enough while recording. Still, water is best here; coffee, on the other hand, irritates the vocal cords. For better articulation, try a few tongue twisters before recording.
- Decide how you want your recording to sound. More businesslike or relaxed and humorous? In general, it’s a good idea to speak a little slower than you normally would. Also, make sure to consciously emphasize your text and give it highs and lows. This will help you avoid a monotonous recording that will put off viewers rather than motivate them.
