See our article, Sound For Video: How To Get Good Audio On Your Videos, for more on this. This is doubly true if you are shooting "talking head" video. This is probably the most important, and fastest thing you can do if your recording space is less than ideal. This will help the mic get mostly your voice (the signal) and less of the reflected sound. Tip #2: Get Your Mouth Close to the Mic - like 4-6 Inches That way a cardioid mic will reject that sound, since it will be coming from behind it. If you have a computer fan, or other source of extraneous noise like that, point the BACK of the mic toward the source (like the computer). They reject any sound coming from behind them and most of the sound coming from the side.
Cardioid mics record only what is in front of them. Tip #1: Use a Mic With a Cardioid Pickup Patternįortunately, most mics default to that pattern. So if you cannot yet put acoustic foam on the walls, the following tips will help immensely. But that can be both minimized, and removed with noise reduction software. You will still have computer fan or A/C fan noise. These allow you to stay in the main room (as opposed to a booth or closet), which is much more convenient and comfortable. A good place to start is with Auralex products. If you can afford acoustic absorbing foam on your walls, it will be so much easier to reduce room noise. The first thing we have to do is deal with room noise before any sound reaches the mic. If you don't have a booth, there are still things you can do - and for a much more affordable price, starting with "free." The further your sound source is from the mic, the more room sound will be recorded. In the case of talking-head videos (a person talking to the camera - not the 80s rock group:)), this is almost always caused by the fact that the narrator is relying on the built-in camera mic, which is several feet away. Usually it sounds like the person is speaking in a bathroom or something.

In fact it is way too common that a very slick and professional looking video has poor audio laid over the top.
If you've watched a lot of internet videos where someone is narrating, you have almost certainly heard the echo-y room sound thing.
The results are echo-y at best, and likely will also sound unnatural and funky (sounding muffled, tinny, or like it came over a telephone - or even all of these). Then all these different mutant versions of your voice arrive at the microphone along with the direct signal.
Sound bounces off of hard surfaces all over your room, combining with each other to amplify and/or reduce certain parts of the sound. Most of us do our recording in a spare bedroom, and bedrooms are notoriously effective at producing "bad" echos that when added to the signal, make the audio worse.

You MIGHT be able to use a closet If you stuff it full of very acoustically absorbent materials (or lots of coats and jackets!) so no sound can reflect of the walls, or make sure there are no parallel surfaces - preferably both.įor most of us, it is often impractical or too expensive to have either a very quiet recording space, or a good sounding isolation booth. But the room sound will be very boomy and boxy. Yes, you can block out the extraneous noises, like leaf blowers and fans. I HIGHLY recommend you do NOT just go into a closet to record, thinking that it will sound better. The room sound in even a tiny room can sound bad, especially in the case of a square or rectangular closet. Yeah, it can get pretty expensive to get a proper vocal booth in your studio.Īnother commercially available option that is pretty popular is the Whisper Room booths, which go for between $4,000 and $10,000 dollars! Yeah, not many of us are looking at a budget like that. You can buy a full-blown vocal booth, such as the Clearsonic IsoPac, which will run you about $1,100.
