You don't want to over do it to where they go out to the edges and beyond.
Make sure the wave forms (blue blobs) are fairly large in the track. I show how to do this in my post Quickly Fix Audio Recording Mistakes by Overdubbing, Part 2. You can cut the bad takes out during editing. Just make that mark and continue recording. I like to clap my hands or make some other quick, loud noise after a screw-up so that I'll see it on the track when I'm editing. 
Keep recording even in you make a mistake. I believe that this could be the most helpful bit of advice on how to record a voice over of everything in this post. And one quick fix to reduce that that you can apply immediately is simply to record close (that 3-5 inches I suggest) to the mic. Most of us record in spare rooms in our house, which means lots of echo-y, reverb-y room sound. Keep you mouth close to the mic (3-5 inches). Record in as quiet a place as possible. But you can buy one for about $10 on Amazon - Auray Pop Filter. If you don't, you can make one quickly by stretching an old pair of nylon stockings over a wire hanger that you have shaped into a circle. Click the "Record" button (big red circle) in AudacityĪ new track will appear when you hit the "record" button and start recording. To do that, go to Edit/Preferences/Devices (choose the Samson mic (or interface box like "Focusrite Scarlett") under "Recording" and make sure it says "mono" under "channels." 3. Open Audacity (you can download that here)Īudacity is a free audio recording program that works on both Mac and Windows and is incredibly powerful - especially for a free program. A Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio Bundle (mic, interface and headphones). Of course if you want much higher quality, you can invest in a large diaphragm condenser mic that you plug into an audio interface unit. That's what I will assume for the example here. The steps here will work for any mic, but you should use at least a decent USB mic like the Samson Q2U (which you can get for 59 dollarinis). This is a fairly detailed step-by-step guide for creating a pro quality voice over using Audacity (the free audio software). 
Here are some suggestions on how to record a voice over.
