Find a quiet location to record your podcast, away from traffic and other noise sources. If possible, record in a room with sound-absorbing materials such as curtains or carpets to help reduce echoes.
A good quality microphone can help reduce background noise and capture clear audio. Look for a directional microphone that records from the front while minimizing sound from other sides.
Try to breathe quietly during the recording, as heavy breathing can be recorded by the microphone and distract from the podcast content. Take deep breaths before you start speaking, and exhale slowly while speaking.
Be mindful of any clothing or accessories that might make noise during the recording. For example, avoid wearing jangly jewelry or rustling clothing that could be picked up by the microphone.
A pop filter is a screen or mesh that is placed in front of the microphone to help filter out unwanted noise. It can help reduce plosives and other harsh sounds that can occur when speaking into a microphone.
Try to lower the noise level by adjusting the the recording equipment's sensitivity. Remember to listen to the recording a few times to ensure the recording quality meets the requirements.
