Your Recording Environment

Three things are required, and each is judged separately:

1. An external microphone: A separate, dedicated microphone is absolutely required — see below.

2. A dry room: Your voice should sound close and clear, with no echo or hollow, distant quality. Untreated rooms with bare walls, hard floors, and high ceilings usually fail.

3. A quiet room: No HVAC hum, fans, traffic, appliances, or household noise during recording.

Minimum Required Gear

• Dynamic Mics (best for untreated rooms): Shure SM58, Shure MV7 / MV7+, RODE PodMic / PodMic USB, or similar.

• Condenser mic (great in a treated room): RODE NT-USB Mini, Blue Yeti / Yeti Orb, Blue Bluebird, Blue Baby Bottle, or similar.

• Room Treatment: Your recording space should produce studio-quality sound samples – isolation shields, sounds absorbing pads, etc…

Immediately rejected: built-in laptop microphones, phone mics, AirPods, Samsung Buds, headphone-attached mics, headsets, and gaming headsets.
