Voice-overs should be recorded as dry as possible, so it\u2019s generally best to avoid spaces with a lot of natural reverb or highly reflective surfaces. Contrary to popular belief, you\u2019re also better off avoiding closets. Unless you want your voice to sound like\u2014well\u2014it was recorded in a closet.<\/p>\n<p>In totally untreated rooms, frequencies bounce around and subsequently amplify each other or cancel each other out. This is called <strong>comb filtering<\/strong>\u2014when charted, the frequency response shows sharp peaks and troughs resembling a fine tooth comb\u2014which makes your voice-over recordings sound thin and out of phase.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to avoid comb filtering and unwanted reflections is through <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/acoustic-treatment-home-studios\/\">acoustic treatment<\/a>. At the very least, treating the first-reflection points in your room and placing the talent near absorption panels will greatly help with the overall voice-over sound.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, you want the room to be dead, but not so dead that the recordings take on an unnatural quality. If you don&#8217;t have a dedicated studio room at home, or you aren&#8217;t ready to invest in first-reflection acoustic treatment, <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/diy-vocal-booth-home-studios\/\"><strong>you might consider building a DIY vocal booth<\/strong><\/a> to keep your voice-over recordings clean.<\/p>\n<h4>Manage plosives on the way in<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45875 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3.jpg\" alt=\"A Starter's Guide to Recording Voice-Overs_3\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-15x10.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-14x9.jpg 14w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_3-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Recording voice-overs means managing frequencies in the human voice. Exaggerated \u201cp\u201d and \u201cb\u201d sounds, called plosives, create popping sounds on a vocal track. In conversation we don\u2019t even notice them, but when the acoustic energy of a plosive hits a microphone diaphragm, it\u2019s obvious.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pop filters<\/strong> are simple devices designed to reduce the energy behind plosives. You\u2019ve probably seen them as a round mesh circle attached to a mic stand, separating the vocalist from the mic itself. They can also be built in on certain specialized shock mounts.<\/p>\n<p>Even better is to manage you or your talent&#8217;s distance from the microphone. By staying at least several inches or even up to a foot back, you&#8217;ll minimize the impact of plosives while recording voice-overs.<\/p>\n<h4>Set a good recording level<\/h4>\n<p>But first, a brief history lesson!<\/p>\n<p>Before digital, <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/gain-stage-tracks-before-mixing\/\">gain staging<\/a> meant something completely different than it does now. Recording to tape meant printing super hot to have a signal well above the noise floor\/hiss of analogue machines. Of course, when modern digital recording was first introduced, some of this mindset carried over. It was thought that printing hot digitally would prevent any degradation of the signal during the conversion process. These days, converter quality has proven that just isn\u2019t the case!<\/p>\n<p>24-bit resolution has made the notion of printing hot a total misnomer. Without getting too technical about the 1\u2019s and 0\u2019s responsible for 24-bit resolution, tracking at 24-bit provides <em>plenty<\/em> of headroom to get above the noise floor, while still staying far away from clipping your converter.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45876\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45876\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45876 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4.jpg\" alt=\"A Starter's Guide to Recording Voice-Overs_4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-302x170.jpg 302w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-266x150.jpg 266w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-770x434.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-40x23.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-160x90.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-20x11.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-604x340.jpg 604w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-16x9.jpg 16w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/A-Starters-Guide-to-Recording-Voice-Overs_4-385x217.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45876\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keep out of the red and you&#8217;ll be fine!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Each \u201cbit\u201d in 24-bit resolution amounts to 6 dB of headroom. 24 x 6 = 144 dB of dynamic range!
