A great way to create an engaging learning experience for your audience is to include audio narration with your explanatory text and visuals. You could narrate the entire course, use audio just for character scenarios, or include first-person accounts from learners or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)

In fact, both Windows and Mac computers ship with studio-quality recording apps preloaded. And if you don’t want to record audio in a third-party software suite, many content creation apps include their own audio recording tools. 

\n

But even with easy access to high-quality microphones and recording apps, it can be tricky to make professional-quality audio if you’ve never done it before. Don’t worry, though; we’ve got you covered! By following these tips and tricks, you’ll be creating audio like the pros in no time.

\n

Write a Narration Script

\n

The first step to recording high-quality audio has nothing to do with audio equipment or software at all. Good narration starts with a script. 

\n

To create a narration script, move the note text out of your course file, or wherever you’ve been compiling it, and into a table-formatted document. This way you can quickly see and read the text that needs to be recorded as well as make any changes on the fly (without losing your place). 

\n

A narration script can take many forms, as long as it has these three main components:

\n\n

Here’s an example of what that might look like:

Use a firm but friendly tone here. Pitch your voice a bit for the quote but avoid making it sound whiny.

\n

Choose the Right Microphone

\n

Now that you have your narration script, it’s time to take a look at your microphone. Whenever possible, you want to avoid using the microphone that’s built into your computer. Not only is it not made for capturing audio narration, but it can pick up mechanical noise from your computer. The same goes for microphones embedded in your earphones. They’re fine for phone calls and meetings, but shouldn't be relied on for professional recordings. 

\n

For crisp, clear narration, invest in an external microphone. You don’t have to buy the most expensive one on the shelf, but with audio equipment, you really do get what you pay for. If you’re recording audio on a regular basis and want high-quality results, be prepared to invest at least $100.

\n

There are many different types of microphones out there, but the two most common are omnidirectional and unidirectional. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. Deciding which one is right for you depends on what you’re looking to record. 

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Omnidirectional

\n
\n

Unidirectional

\n
\n

An omnidirectional microphone picks up sound from all directions. 

\n
\n

It’s great for capturing:

\n
    \n
  • Ambient sounds 
  • \n
  • Outdoor sounds
  • \n
  • On-the-scene sounds
  • \n
  • People speaking in a large room 
  • \n
\n
\n

It works best for situations where you don’t have a specific or target audio source or when you need to capture a scene or an environment’s audio profile.

\n
\n

A unidirectional microphone records audio sounds only from one direction (typically, the front), so it's usually the best type to use for audio narration. 

\n
\n

These do a better job of minimizing ambient or background sounds that might distract from the actual spoken words. 

\n
\n

The best ones come with enhanced pick-up algorithms that focus specifically on the narrator’s voice. 

\n
\n

 

\n

Keeping all this in mind, many popular USB microphones can do double duty as omnidirectional and unidirectional microphones. Some let you control the mode manually with software, while others will automatically shift between modes if they detect multiple speakers. 

\n

Consider Buying a Windscreen or a Pop Filter

\n

With omnidirectional and unidirectional microphones, you have two main options to sharpen the quality of sound you capture. Let’s take a quick look at these helpful accessories.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

Windscreens

\n
\n

Pop Filters

\n
\n

\n
\n

\n
\n

Windscreens filter the most sound and can reduce background ambient noise. You can generally find a windscreen for $20 or less.

\n
\n

Pop filters reduce popping sounds on “p” and “b” sounds by adding a layer of protection to the microphone. 

\n

They also minimize unwanted breath sounds that happen when you exhale too close to the microphone. 

\n

Most pop filters cost less than $20, though you can easily make your own. Just wrap nylon stockings around a clothes hanger and place it in front of the microphone before you start recording.

\n
\n

 

\n

Again, if you're using a software-enhanced microphone, there may be virtual options for improving your sound and reducing unwanted noise. Check the settings before you begin recording and play with the different options to make sure they deliver the kind of audio output you’re looking for. 

\n

Reduce Ambient Noise

\n

While a good microphone and clever software can make your audio sound great, the direct audio input is only half the story. The other part of the equation is ambient noise. 

\n

Build a Portable Studio Box

\n

When you’re recording in a professional studio, the walls, floors, and overall room acoustics are specially insulated to cancel unwanted ambient noises. Since this type of setup is neither affordable nor portable for the average e-learning designer, many users build their own recording studio boxes.

\n

\n

With something as simple as foam seat cushions, you can put together a portable recording box that encases your microphone. It cancels out a large portion of ambient noise and gives you a quick bump in audio quality. Don’t have seat cushions or you’re stuck recording narration away from home? Use pillows!

\n

\n

Silence Your Recording Space

\n

It’s not possible to remove all sounds, but there are some things you can do to minimize ambient sounds. When possible, designate a particular room as your recording room and use it for your entire recording project. Your room’s layout, wall treatment, and furniture all affect the quality of your recordings. A carpeted room with furniture sounds different from an empty room with wood flooring.  

\n

Here are some common ambient noises and tips for minimizing them:

\n\n\n

Create a Consistent Environment

\n

Even if you don’t have access to a professional recording studio, you can improve the quality of your narration by creating a consistent recording environment. Here are some tips that’ll help you do just that: 

\n\n

Record Your Audio

\n

Your room is set up and you’re ready to record, right? Almost! There are still a few things you should do before you jump into your first official take.

\n

1. Check Your Mic Input Levels

\n

This is one of the most important things you can do when recording. If the levels are too high, you’ll pick up cracks, pops, and other digital artifacts. If the levels are too low, it’ll be difficult to hear in the published course.

\n

Notice how the levels are between -12 and -6? That leaves enough room for louder sounds without the risk of clipping.

\n

Here’s an example of audio that’s too “hot” and likely producing unwanted distortion:

\n

 

\n

2. Test Your Recordings

\n

After you’ve verified your input levels, record a short piece of test audio. Even with perfected settings, other recording issues can unexpectedly occur, such as a problem with hardware, an accidental audio setting change, or your voice not projecting as loudly as expected. It happens. Always take the time to record at least 30 seconds of test audio before you jump into your actual script recording.

\n

3. Listen to Your Audio with Headphones

\n

Headphones isolate ambient noise and help you hear your recorded audio clearly. Because they’re worn over the ears, you get the closest, most realistic playback of your audio. Also, most users will listen to your courses with headphones—especially those in corporate or academic settings—so you’ll want to hear exactly what they hear.

\n

4. Record in One Session

\n

For optimal consistency in your recording, it’s best to record your script in a single session. Even when you control your recording environment, your voice can sound different from one session to another. When you record in a single session, you’ll have more control over small but noticeable recording variables that occur.

\n

If you do have to rerecord some of your audio, record the full paragraph or slide rather than a single word or phrase. Differences in your voice are less obvious when you rerecord larger sections of audio.

A great way to create an engaging learning experience for your audience is to include audio narration with your explanatory text and visuals. You could narrate the entire course, use audio just for character scenarios, or include first-person accounts from learners or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)

\n

And now it’s easier than ever to add audio to your online courses. High-quality microphones and recording software are readily available to everyone. In fact, both Windows and Mac computers ship with studio-quality recording apps preloaded. And if you don’t want to record audio in a third-party software suite, many content creation apps include their own audio recording tools.
