Google “Windows Enhancements.” That will be good start. I have had good luck with recording my voice on my phone in a good room, but I had to stop recommending that when Apple stopped supporting the file transfers. Making it stop “helping you” can be a career move. This is one of the reasons I’m a fan of not recording on the computer. Waaaaay down at the bottom of the list is get a good microphone. That and record in a quiet, echo-free room. To get a good, pure voice recording, you need to turn it all off-if you can find it all. To get there, both Zoom and your computer automatically apply all kinds of processing and corrections. The goal is for them to understand what you’re saying and the quality of your voice doesn’t much matter. “Normal” for your computer is start a Zoom meeting with the other people at work. I think I see where we’re going with this. The first time you hear yourself accurately, you’re likely to gasp and say, “Good Night! Do I really sound like that?”Īre you trying for audiobooks? There are a number of special tools and techniques for that. There is one performer oddity that nobody talks about. If you’re studio, microphone, or technique is damaged, you’ll never get there. Then, after you get all the recording damage out of the way, we’ll take up actual enhancements. Nothing says beginner faster than “Bathroom Voice.” That can’t be fixed later. Make sure your room is quiet and with no echoes. One well-known microphone got this wrong once in the instruction book. … And make sure you’re announcing into the correct side of the microphone. Make sure you’re about a Hawaiian Shaka away from your microphone… It sounded glorious, but I really just wanted to record my voice clean. I have a story about getting a production computer from the Systems Department on the sixth floor and they accidentally left Windows “Cathedral Effects” running in the sound.
If you use Skype, Zoom, Meetings, etc, make sure they’re completely turned off and not napping in the corner. Recording on the computer seems like a good idea, and the microphone makers let you think their microphone is a gift from the angels, but it’s harder than it seems.Īs above, dig in Windows Preferences and turn off all the enhancements, filters, and effects.
