10 Tips For Recording The Perfect Video Voice Over

Creating the perfect video can be difficult, no matter what it is designed to do. You have to think about a wide range of things such as the visual information you include, any background music to complement your visuals, and a voice over to explain your point.

Recording the perfect voice over can be difficult, especially if you don’t have a lot of recording experience. Below are our top 10 tips for making sure that you get the perfect voice over for your video:

  1. Use a decent studio!

This is probably one of the most important things when it comes to recording a decent voice over. You need to use a room which is quiet, which doesn’t echo, and which is designed to eliminate reverberating low frequency sounds.

  1. Use a book stand

Paper rustling is an extremely obvious noise which can be picked up by even the most untrained ears. Using a book stand rather than holding your script in your hand will help eliminate this.

  1. If you can’t use a studio, choose the right room

If you can’t afford to use a professional studio, then try recording your script in different places throughout your house until you find the best spot. Removing or covering certain pieces of furniture can help limit echos as well.

  1. Use a decent microphone

If there is one piece of recording equipment that you shouldn’t skimp on, it is the microphone. Make sure that you use a high quality recording microphone which is designed for recording voice overs.

  1. Read clearly

If you decide to record your own voice over, remember to read your script slowly and clearly. If you don’t, people may have a hard time understanding what you are saying during your video.

  1. Spend time developing your script

When it comes to a video voice over, there is absolutely no point in doing one if it is not written well. Make sure that it matches up with your video, and that it is informational and clear.

  1. Make sure your mouth doesn’t dry up

If your mouth dries out, your voice will probably become unclear. Make sure that this doesn’t happen by eating something while you are recording, by sipping water or by sucking on a mint or sweet.

  1. Make sure you back up your final product!

Once you have completed your voice over, make sure that you save it in more than one place. If you don’t, you risk losing it if your computer crashes.

  1. Make sure you check your audio once your video is uploaded

In some cases, a video voice over can sound completely different after it has been uploaded. This could be due to any one of a number of reasons, by you should always pay your video back to make sure that everything is working well together.

  1. Have fun!

The recording process should be fun right? Don’t stress out or worry too much, or this will be evident in your voice while you are recording.
